enkers

That’s just a cat thing. Some of them are intent on displaying their poopers whenever possible, especially if it’s right in your face.

Not bad for 44

Damnn, ain’t no way…

I gotta hit the gym. 😑

Just as a mild counterexample, I’ve personally changed my views quite drastically over my time on reddit and now lemmy, and most of it was from individuals just sharing their own perspective.

I held some latent bigotry and misogyny, part of which I picked in my day to day life, and partly from 4ch. I won’t say I’ve eliminated it completely, but I think I’ve become a better person from my interactions online.

If we’re not out here trying to actively learn from and help other people, then what the heck are we doing?

いや、大丈夫だよ。

Honestly though, I think it depends on the context. I think it’s generally OK on open multilingual platforms especially with mixed audiences.

I see lots of English comments on Japanese vocaloid videos, for example, and I think most content creators enjoy having fans from abroad.

The problem is that performant screenshare (to multiple users) more or less requires infrastructure. That requires money, and it’s impossible to compete on price with services that have the VC-enshitification model.

You can get around this in a few ways, but they’re all tradeoffs that are in some way or other worse than discord.

• P2P - sacrifice latency, reliability
• direct multi-stream - sacrifice PC performance and/or bitrate
• paid infrastructure - sacrifice money

If you’re releasing in a format that supports tagging, there’s usually either a comment field or custom field that you could put this into in as well.

Warning: I’m not sufficiently familiar with jdownloader to offer this explanation with any certainty, but…

If you’re using it to rip streamed content, is it possible that instead of ripping the stream directly it screen records and re-encodes it itself in order to bypass end-to-end security features?

I’m not saying that’s the case here, just that it’s a plausible explanation.

In what way is it insecure? If the user was going to message someone off platform they’d still be sending them an unencrypted message anyways if they have to switch apps to SMS. If users didn’t understand the distinction, that’s a design failure on signal’s part.

To a lot of us, SMS fallback was the killer feature signal provided.

At least with matrix, it’s decentralised. If they ever try to rug pull like signal did, their users can at least choose to not update if they self-host their own instance. I’d imagine a lot of lemmings would appreciate that, considering.

I was pissed at Signal for dropping SMS support. Their rationalisation was kinda bs. Now I just use matrix instead, since it’s decentralised.

It plays again, but louder.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. If buying isn’t owning, then pirating can’t be stealing.

Yeah, I’m just glad the popularity of streaming sites keeps eyes off the torrent scene.

It’s true. All the hamster furries run in big wheels to keep the tube pressure up and the packets flowing.

You could do a semi-automated system where you have all your currently airing in RSS, but still need to manually start them. It’d at least save you from having to go searching every time.

For currently airing/weekly stuff, you can use RSS to get all the episodes as they come out. Just make sure your search is only getting the episodes you want before you add it to your client. That means asides from the show title, also add the sub group and bitrate if they release more than one.

It’s a tiny bit more work to set up, but once it’s done, episodes just show up as they come out. :)

However, I think he did take donations for early access to new titles,

When video game companies accept money for early access to their games, that’s a sale. You give them money, they give you access. I’m not sure why that wouldn’t also apply here.

From your description, unless you were allowed to donate $0 for access, that sounds a lot like a sale to me.

That’s wild. Did you need a special program to parse stuff out of the data stream? I guess it would mostly come in as http reaponses, so it wouldn’t be too hard, but still an interesting problem.

I’m happy to take it as a win that we can avoid a real war if it means some obnoxious pettiness.

This is also just a cutesy hand sign for “fox” in Japan, with zero alt-right symbolism. Foxes are a significant part of the mythology there, and there are all sorts of tales about leaving food for fox spirits to bring good fortune. There’s even a prominent vTuber who’s regularly depicted making the sign.

I wish these alt-right fuckwads would stop trying to wreck shit for the rest of the world.

Seriously. I’ve seen letter openers more threatening than that “sword”. Was it dumb? Sure. Does he deserve a slap the wrist, absolutely. But prison?? No way. What the actual fuck?
