The data collected from these tools are used to train models that detect cars and stuff with precise accuracy. Decades of data from millions of users each day. Once these are perfected, they will be sold to smart car users as auto-driving mode and what not. These services are likely going to be subscription based to maximize the profits.

I think it’s time for another Fox News interview with an r/antiwork mod.

Which instance? We should maintain a list of these instances to ensure we don’t lose our data due to idiots like them.

I disabled shorts everywhere. Before I saw your post, I couldn’t even recall YouTube having shorts.

Also, Google tracks your everything, not just your YouTube history. You likely use Google Search a lot for adult content. Even a VPN and browsing on incognito mode might not save you. They have lots of ways track you.

I don’t care about video comments anymore; in my experience it was filled with attention-seeking content and incels trying to look cool. It’s also full of bots in the reply sections.

Instead, I use mpv media player to watch YouTube. I pick a video off my recommendations or the subscription page then I copy the video link and then I just have to do mpv <video link> in my terminal. It’s also much faster on my low-end PC.

It doesn’t have sponser-block support, but it does have ad-blocker. I haven’t really checked sponser-block support yet either.

Edit: found this for sponser-block support.

These corporations would never let that be the norm. They are presently moderate about it because we are an extreme minority, but if this population starts growing at rapid rates, these leeches will go crazy. Just like how Google behaved a few months ago to prevent ad-block usage on YouTube. The unfortunate news is that we can’t even do much about it; they already have a scary market share and the money to do whatever they want. Worse thing is that these corporations will unite together in such scenario.

I think they have attention span problems or something like that. They can’t wait while they are forming sentences, so while they think of something, they add ellipses to their message.

Thanks for note. Do they currently have that backend?

That aside, you might want to try Nim. It’s pretty cool. It can compile to C and C++, and JS. There have been browser extensions made with it. Heck, it even has an LLVM backend. And the C code it generates it pretty fast on benchmarks. It’s filled with tons of metaprogramming stuff and AST-level macros. And it has this cool thing where it can ignore name casing of identifiers like variables and functions; so isSome == is_some.

I will try porting this project to Haskell and Coconut later. I am currently doing a rewrite of this in Nim.

They said competition, not alternatives. As things are right now, and knowing people, not just trying to make a technical point, Firefox is the only competition.

Oh yeah, I had given that a try, but the installation was too huge. It took like 2 GB. The dependecies were huge as well. But maybe it’d be less on Ubuntu. I will give it a shot again. I heard that language doesn’t have loops; I guess you’ve got to be good with recursion to get good at it lol.

Or maybe people rely on map like function of Python.

Hi, I spent some time trying out the dictd package. I also read this protocol’s specification. As things are right now, each host-name would require its own parser, because I couldn’t notice a very similar pattern between them. Webster, Jargon, wn, all these have their own standardization for including synonyms and examples.

The specification doesn’t enforce any pattern on the definitions either. I don’t think it’s going to be very useful even if I do implement it because the parsers are going to be quite complicated.

Ah that. That shouldn’t be a lot of work as all the visual stuff are done by separate functions. I can do it. I will look into it.

My OOP experience isn’t from Java, but I get your point. I don’t really have a dislike for OO; it sure does have its applications. I once met a dude who was trying to use an object oriented library in a functional way; the result of that was a mess full of complications. I feel a good balance is necessary.

You mean, like, support for the dict protocol for this program’s interface? I am also scraping a dictionary’s data, so I am a little confused.

not a fan of that font, but cool setup

I agree fully. I basically never download music anymore, because I can get all the music I can think of on Spotify for a few bucks a month.

I recently started music pirating because I listen to a lot of genres and I want to shuffle them. If I use Spotify, I am limited to their shitty shuffler, but if I download my music offline, I can shuffle however I want. My favorite algorithm to shuffle my huge bunch of music is to shuffle them by genre. Now I get to listen to interesting music with full control over the algorithm used.

Also, there are frequent power cuts in my area, so an offline library always proves useful. I also visit places where internet connections are not available.

0.25 / 0.50 = (0.25 * 4) / (0.50 * 4) = 1 / 2 = 0.50

I actually meant Group Policy Editor. Sometimes I make mistakes like that. I will not dive into how precisely I made the mistake.

Coming to your second point, of course it is vulnerable, but I meant it in a practical sense. I am not here to waste time debating, so I am leaving it at that.
