- davydm 4mo agobecause otherwise how would the queen know what you're up to all the time? :D
- cassianoleal 4mo agoSince she was probably sent by God to rule, I assume he called her back upstairs upon her passing. In this case, she can just ask the big man. Funnily enough, yt-dlp has no trouble downloading it.
- davydm 4mo agoyeah, i use that often, eg when a video is slow on a website - at least yt-dlp will shard out multiple piece-downloaders, and I can get the video in a few seconds or minutes, and just watch it. Also great for anonymizing sharing videos - download the actual video, share that. Not an url (: In much the same vein, I rarely actually watch stuff _on_ netflix, through a browser - I watch sped up, and the quality just degrades. Since I pay for it, I feel nothing for downloading a ripped copy to watch it locally :D
