Yeah, this will work for a while but I think the days have gotta be numbered.

Best long term solution? Leave YouTube.

I guess in the meantime: if on PC grab the freetube flatpak. Really decent client, anonymous and create subscriptions without actually subscribing.

Why is it hard? It used to be real easy to run in a VM. I am running windows 11 in docker and it was easy, maybe consider that?

Never heard of glance. It’s an ai shopping tool? I couldn’t make sense of it, but I didn’t spend much time either.

Oh boy it’s kind of hard to explain. A comedian gets actors to practice things,like a rehearsal for an event. In this case he wants to improve airline safety because most accidents are because co-pilots don’t speak up when there is a problem. So he invents ways to recreate those scenarios with actors and complete airport, real pilots and co pilots.

We see a real former aviation safety cobsultant and former safety board worker who has been trying to improve airline safety, a congressman, doctors and more, while we discover the pressure of pilots to never talk about their feelings for fear of losing their jobs. Pilots and copilots sit in silence before flights, it’s crazy.

The series escalates with more elaborate and surprising reveals including a real contest and deals with rejection, autism, and the themes of dealing with a dovorce and being alone.

Its a comedy, its somewhat shocking, and it is entertaining while being a bit disturbing in many ways.

All to try and improve flight safety. For real.

I’m not emotional, I am calm, lol. I think you took that too seriously. But seriously I kid you not the rehearsal this season really was that good.

Those are all two to 4 minutes long…

And branch out to what exactly? You shaming my shows I like to watch? Or at least a lot of people like to watch?

Do you really call the rehearsal a pop show? You ever seen it? This season was amazing.

No. None of those things are on YouTube.

Really? Does it have the latest episodes of Doctor who, the rehearsal, or last of us? How about old shows like star trek Voyager?

Most of what I would want to watch is definitely not on youtube. Although most of what I want to watch that is on YouTube is not on a pay channel. They seem apples to oranges to me, which is what I was driving at.

I wonder if they count listening to music with still image as “watching”.

I am not sure why I got downvoted: your use case is exactly what I was thinking. And the other person who responded to me as well: you tube is watched a lot, but the content is largely like apples to oranges compared to say HBO or even Tubi.

Conversely what is there to watch on YouTube? I mean I obviously have seen video on you tube of one kind or another, but it’s never been a place to go to watch a TV show or movie.

Particularly code. B Gates grabbed code out of the trashcan to learn, then actively tried to kill open source.

Math, and code in particular, is something you have to work with to learn. The concepts cannot be stolen, the only thing you could is if you copied the whole program excatly and AI does not learn (or at least retain) that way.

You lose me at stolen. If we are talking code anyway.

For projects I am involved with all irc chats are archived and searchable. There is nothing private, no registration needed and searchable.

Quite a bit different.

Yeah the block and ban thing these days is really weird.

If someone is harassing you, then I guess it makes sense. But otherwise why do people do that?

Back in the day I just assumed everyone was lying. Or trying to get people worked up, and we called them trolls.

Learning how to ignore the trolls, and not having trust for strangers on the internet, coupled with the ability to basically not care what random people said is a lost art.

Somehow people forgot to give other the people this memo, including the “you don’t fucking join social networks as your self”. Anonymity makes this all work.

Eternal September newbies just didn’t get it.

Fuck Microsoft. We tried to get a open standard and so they created a competing name and standard to confuse and obfuscate (and wasn’t really a standard anyone could create).

So they can go get bent.

Nope don’t like it.

We should have less interaction with Facebook, open source or not.

It needs to go away.

There is no problem. Yes, they pretty much are consistent distro to distro. Desktop to Desktop is a bit different but not by much.

My grandparents have had a much easier time with Linux than Windows. Both environments would be confusing to look up if something goes wrong. Fortunately since linux packages are updated together, not much goes wrong. Cant say that for windows. Stuff is always popping up and asking questions and changing.
