while i too apreciate those services, it's not like they invented publication of pirated content.

yep! using it for my family for about five years now. completely painless across devices.

apples can access it via builtin caldav/carddav, android needs an app.

there was some fallout with apple in late 2018 and zuckerberg allegedly ordered facebook employes to use android instead.

have noticed this with a growing number of websites; they load fine/fast if you block .js but show a paywall/annoyification when .js is enabled... "if you insist"

i mostly stopped bothering with in-browser video when mpv wiht youtube-dl integration came around. either drag the url to the player window or use an open-with addon.

hardware decoding, no ads, buffering as i please

since Tabkit died with xul and Tree Style Tab beeing a poor replacement (that crashes often) i use vivaldi althou its still not as good as the original opera or ff-tabkit were in regards to the vertical tab ux.

browser ux really seems like 'one step forward, two backward' over the last two decades.

true, would be more sensible to make it a "real" federal tax instead of collection via a obnoxious semi-private entity.

while i have not owned a tv for the last two decades i still sometimes consume their content via internet or car-radio and would probably miss it if it wasnt available.

> 720p max, which is way below industry standard

maybe low for western standards, but the majority of devices worldwide cannot display higher resolutions.

hek, even new budget phones today rarely exceed 720p.

anecdote: worked at a cinema and we cast 720p onto the big canvas (10meters wide) because people would not notice a difference to anything higher. overall bitrate and quality of encoding are mostly the deciding factors.

> It's not popular

relatively speaking, no

>irrelevant and annoying in the internet age

disagree strongly

one site i frequently consult for electronics is https://geizhals.at because it lets one filter by various product characteristics. it is mainly for DACH region. i guess their business model is whitelabeling for other sites which want to include the functionality, never noticed any bias.

just beware that pi-hole and nextdns are not the same thing, albeit they maybe solve the same problem on the user end.

but nextdns is suffering from the same problem as every other centralised service (beeing a prime point for siphoning information on a large scale and a easy target for manipulation)

how does jq solve the problem more elegant/shorter/readable/portable?

i guess there is hope that whales or public funding will cover them

seems youtube is blocked in china and iran

in case some dont know:

proton is a config shim around wine and dxvk (both foss).

wine is a 27year old project that does the bulk of the work.

credit where credit is due.

probably a win-win situation with google wanting to ensure users can use google services (foremost doubleclick) and users wanting to avoid crappy or censored isp resolvers.

but gog not using the harvested data seems somewhat unbelivable

"those who dont know history are bound to repeat it"

literacy is the only way to improve humanity.

resold once, neither the buyer nor me was happy with the deal. family and friends it is

not saying you are wrong, but the vast majority of covid infections are either mild or completely asymptomatic

afaik 1st-gen bbr is somewhat unfair to other cc-algos to the point that it will starve them. use it if you want to be 'that guy' (or google :)

fwiw not quite but we are on the right track

"The vote means that the European Commission now has the full support of the Parliament in moving forward with the development of laws [...]"

how about

$vendor shall hand over detailed schematics and replacement parts to anybody

well said, especially

> This technology is extremely political

romanticising the past eh?

no

might be an interesting comparison with a netbsd release from the era

seems like a race to the bottom (unpaved roads again)

diesel engines have a very non-linear torque so the electric help goes a long way in making it more fun to drive.

i doubt that very much

i naively support the argument for speed limits concerning safety and emissions.

at the same time i know that the freedom to drive fast does not really impact crash or efficiancy metrics very much and having been to countries with universal speed limits i can confirm that it is an agonizing drive if everybody is going slow (120kph) to the point that i wonder if the resulting boredom is causing a lot more accidents.
