Meh.

It was the first version in which the kernel was written in C.

Interesting. So does this tape contain the source code, or the compiled OS, or both?

[ tl;dr: yt-dlp has been working nicely on this setup. For many years. ]

Every alternative youtube frontend that doesn’t use its API is always about to break because that’s the game youtube has been playing for years.

However, if it has enough users and contributors, it always gets fixed promptly. yt-dlp has enough users and contributors.

Someone posted a screen shot of youtube.com with a recaptcha on the screen.

Not even sure what you’re refering to; the whole point of yt-dlp is that you don’t use the web ui.

Robots will cull the poor people

If the US had a sane government, the answer would be: “We already gave you all the money, and see what happened. Fool me once etc.”

“Feed the Poor” haha I see what you did there.

It also has ties to the government where a lot of money is still coming from. Money that should probably go to NASA instead.

I also believe that there are ways to inflate apparent wealth (or rather, value of stock), which Musk is a master of. It will pop eventually and boy will it be nice to see him fall. Not that he’ll ever be really poor, but still.

Ask one of his shitty robots! Failing that: “Hey Grok, how would you eliminate poverty?”

Put him on a stage where he can praise “his” achievements, Me-lon will say all sorts of stupid shit, for hours on end.

My favorite: “With natural ingredients!”

“Triage” he said, with tears in his eyes.

Is that a quote from the article? I feel compelled to add that, wrt mobile devices, it is possible to live without Google Play Services.

Is Google Play Services sampling your location so that it can send it in to Google HQ as part of a secret location tracking operation that runs without user consent or knowledge, or so that it can detect if the device has been stolen by the cops and use its proprietary ML model to activate anti-theft mode to protect the user’s privacy?

They’re the same picture.

If we can actually show mismanagement of user data by Google Play Services, we need to shout it to the hills

We can, and many have been for many years.

So, to put it blundly, not only should the server be outside of the USA but also the company who runs it? Makes sense to me.
