For those objecting to this it’s absolutely true. Fight Nazis, with guns when necessary, but do not be misled into believing they are wholly alien or inhuman. That’s how you end up living in the middle of a bunch of Nazis without realizing their Nazis.

Oh you know…

Maybe “Use by” and “Discard after”.

You don’t want blue light anyway because it messes with your night vision.

1000% this. Aftermarket, fucked colors, and/or no alignment is the cause of the problems. I would add that a lot of aftermarket lights are also way too bright. Sure, the owner can see (a tiny bit) better but everyone else gets blinded. Even then, it’s not bad unless they’re not aligned properly. (Well, it’ll still blind you if it’s a truck directly behind you but that’s just trucks.)

Unfortunately, the powerful have the power so they’re arranging my life too. To the best of their ability, at least.

You’re right that we should not confuse their values for our own, however.

Don’t need to go that far, i think. If you had your extension hash some piece of each keyframe (basically: tokenize some IDs for each keyframe) and submit them to a database you could then see which parts were shown to everyone vs only to some people and only display those. Basically similar to how sponsorblock crowd sources its sponsor segment detection but automated. Some people would see the ads but then you’d know what the og video was unless it gets edited.

This is assuming they’re not reencoding the video for each advertisement, which they probably aren’t. If they are it probably gets easier, actually. Sponsorblock could do that.

Compared to the cost of reencoding the video (or even segments of it) it would be basically nothing, though.

“Line go up” is the animating force of the age, the critical philosophical principal around which our entire society is arranged.

Gives me a fucking headache.

RSS feed -> yt-dlp script -> auto queue the folder into the player of your choice. Hmm…

(Edit: Though that may not actually work considering this is apparently fully server side. Gonna have to get clever…)

One of the originators of the idea of “planned obsolescence”. Even after the cartel got killed the manufacturers never extended the life of the lights into (to an extent) CFLs and then moreso the days of LEDs.

They’ve been sabotaged by design. LEDs should last 10+ years if built even half away reasonably, but unfortunately the manufacturers basically got together and agreed to build them in such a way they would fail. Same as regular light bulbs, they just have to work harder.

I still have some of the earliest modern LED bulbs on the market–old Philips ones, the AmbientLED (i think) with the yellow casing and large heat sinks. They’ve been running for like 15 years now and not a one of them has failed. I spent several hundred USD replacing all my bulbs with those back in the day and they’ve done me well.

Modern bulbs are trash by comparison. Not because the technology is limited in some way but because they refuse to make anything to that quality anymore.

We need an alternate solution to this planned obsolescence bullshit. Light bulbs hit 50k rated hours long ago and they were talking about making ones that went 100k+ but these days you can’t find anything above 25k. And that’s setting aside the fact that a lot of these rely on apps that could be dropped at a moment’s notice.

They could turn on end to end encryption and the fact that they aren’t doing that is telling imo.

They also have a personal, psychological need to be “normal”. They can’t stand the thought that other people aren’t like them–or maybe even more importantly: that they aren’t like “normal” people.

Bob Altemeyer’s The Authoritarians talks about this in some detail.

Sweden has slowly been going insane right wing (and the rest of Scandinavia too, but more slowly). They failed to treat the Nazis in their society seriously and have allowed racism and conspiracy theories about immigrants and such to fester.

The right is in this for the long haul, too. When Anders Breivik (aka Fjotolf Hansen) blew up a bunch of people, who did he target? He targeted a camp full of future political leaders. He wanted to kill the next generation.

Every modern society has Nazis in it but you can’t have a modern, advanced, peaceful society if they get any power. You have to fight them and their bullshit wherever they appear.

True.

I am not a lawyer but as far as I know: it super isn’t. It’s also illegal for compounding pharmacies to make, where I live.

Imagine not having 70,000 followers. Fate worse then death.

It’s funny because a lot of people really like Vyvanse (that is: lisdexamphetamine) better than the alternatives. It was only made because the DEA wanted fewer people to take regular amphetamines and then a bunch of people responded well to it and the DEA went “wait! Not like that!”

Anyway, it’s on generic now. The only reason there’s a shortage is the DEA.

(Before you say “I’m not in the US and we have a shortage, too!” the drug companies killed all their production lines because the DEA basically gave them an excuse to try to force people off Vyvanse and onto meds that were still under patent.)

Incredible video.
