Google has been anti yt-dlp before it was forked. They also have rules that carve out tools like this from their extension store and at Android, except enforcement is lacking sometimes.

Google is terrified of users having access users control to their video content.

"Never let a good tragedy go to waste"

Linux user here unaffected as I get it straight from my command line.

Most of Gnome is built using that too.

Which failings in particular?

This seems totally doable. I'm not a sportsball fan, but I have played a few games like NBA Jam (1993), NBA Showtime on NBC (1999), NBA 2K, etc. and the announcers always seem relatively the same as when they are on TV. Obviously it's only a matter of time until you begin to remember all of their samples, but I guess this solves that problem.

To be honest who cares about Google search anymore it's pretty useless these days.

I think you should make proper counter arguments instead of dismissing something because they used a specific tool.

Ad-HomineLLM is a logical fallacy IMO and adds little value. I would hope eventually HN and other sites add this to the guidelines similar to other claims like vote manipulation etc.

Hopefully other vendors will adopt GrapheneOS like Motorola is prepared to.

Motorola with GrapheneOS is an interesting prospect. The space is ready for disruption and the tools to do it are more available than ever. Maybe it will come from the EU. Who knows, but Google overplayed their hand, IMO.

Also, let's be clear about the mobile landscape right now. Many apps aren't written in Java or Swift, but instead are being transpiled from other languages like TypeScript and using UI libraries that aren't locked to the mobile platform itself.

When a new mobile platform enters the space it will require some react-native and capacitor glue code and we are in business.

I have never been happier to be a long time Linux user. Our systems are working significantly better than ever before and I have personally converted more people to Linux in the last year than the 15 years before that.

MITM

Readers don't care. Customers don't care about the internal details of the company.

Private schools produce significantly better results that public schools.

Public transport has been disrupted by private transportation options like Uber, Lime, etc.

Public radio and TV is unused by the vast majority of people who use private options daily like streaming services or YouTube.

The public budget is perpetually in shambles and if it was a private company would have had to go bankrupt and cease business by now.

Social security and other support programs are perpetually failing and used as a political wedge.

The government does most things poorly and with little regard to budget or quality. They can't solve problems that are much simpler than cloud computing, so why should I expect them to perform better at a more complex problem?

I guess get busy contacting Microsoft or get busy using Open Source software instead.

Anyone curious this is the same for Linux, except use xdg-open like this:

  $ xdg-open $(pages)

This seems like a chicken and egg problem.

I think this kind of argument is a modified version of an ad-hominem attack.

When you disagree with an argument, you are supposed to address the argument itself, not the thing making the argument.

My only goal was to read the content that was linked and they put up a large full screen block.

What a day when people are praising XML because it can be used to help calculate a bloated tax code.

My plan with anti-patterns is to just turn away and move on to something else. People need to vote with their attention. If the content and information is important it will make its way to me eventually through a better channel. Yeah, it's selfish, but it's the only way I have to fight enshittification of the web.

Literally couldn't figure out the anti-pattern for rejecting all of the cookies so I moved on.

This is a welcome change and do will update Ethos [1] in the future with an AI sentiment score. I created a separate project called LLaMaudit [2] that attempts to detect if an LLM was used to generate text, but it needs to be improved.

Then we wouldn't get to virtue signal about the state of the software industry getting rid of all these starving artists.

Posted from my software made with AI assistance.

HDCP does some of that already in many of your devices.

Almost all of social media right now is terrible. Each is a little faction of whatever echo chamber controls it mixed in with the most engagement hungry garbage you can imagine.

Reminds me of when a terrible person I don't agree with gets deplatformed. Historically freedom of speech has been defended by those usually icky things and silencing them often just makes them more powerful.
