MPV is just passing the stream selection arguments over to youtube-dl/yt-dlp.

Why? If the implemented featureset meets your needs, and there are no unresolved bugs or security vulnerabilities relevant to your use cases, what further "maintenance" do you need?

The point we're at is one in which privacy is still attainable via implementation-layer measures, even if it requires investing some effort and making some trade-offs to sustain. The alternative -- placing trust in regulation, which

> The privacy battle has to be at the legal layer. I couldn't disagree more. The way to protect privacy is to make privacy the standard at the implementation layer, and to make it costly and difficult to breach it. Trying to rely o

Aren't all of those just prebuilt images that use Syslinux? Plop is itself an actual boot manager.

Even if the 133 scans reveal an interesting pattern, it's still an interesting pattern that's only thus far been observed in a single individual. That means it's still not meaningfully generalization, and ought to be studied

It turns out that different people have wildly varying notions of what's better.

Wasting money on... better solutions that are also free?

Good projects still do rely on IRC -- Libera.chat is full of proper channels -- and logging bots are ubiquitous.

There's a whole FOSS ecosystem of chat/collaboration applications, like Mattermost and Zulip; there's Matrix for a federated solution, and tried-and-true options like IRC. For something called "Reclaim the Stack" to

Vanilla DOSBox does not do printer emulation. DOSBox-X ( https://dosbox-x.com/ ), a fork with extended features, implements full parallel port emulation.

Can't you just use a modern IDE with DJGPP? Maybe you'd just need some wrapper scripts to invoke the compiler.

Yeah, it makes a lot more sense to treat liquidity achieved by collateralizing capital gains on assets as realized gains, and tax it as income, then to allow for blanket taxation of unrealized gains. But I'm still not sure what problem

Fundamentally, reality is a continuum of variation, and the categories and ontologies we define are just models that are useful for reconcile reality to our own cognitive capacities, rather than anything objectively true of the external wor

No -- it's also not customary to tip people who get a commission from your purchase.

Slippery slope arguments are absolutely legitimate when (a) dealing with policy proposals in relation to difference from a perceived "normal" situation, (b) discussing issues in which factions that wish to push the status quo towa

This is a frightening idea -- being forced to pay taxes on speculative income you haven't actually earned yet will destroy small business and will inevitably be weaponized against anyone who owns any substantial assets, including resid

How are scrollbars against the spirit of the movement?

No. Most of those people are self-employed, so you are usually already paying 100% of the compensation directly to them in the first place. Tipping is for when someone is doing work directly for you, but as an employee of another party.

That sounds awful. You want a venue where younger and less technical people can get help and guidance from the more experienced people, not an echo chamber full of the least experienced users.

Anything would be better. A subreddit, a traditional web forum, a mailing list, an NNTP group, an IRC channel -- I'd take any of them over Discord.

No, tipping is a way of directly compensating people who are directly doing work for you, even in the context of an organization managing the transaction. You tip people who are personally responding to your requests -- that's why the

That's exactly how I have XFCE set up, with Super+Numpad keys bound to each half/quarter of the screen (Super+5 for maximize). Works great, and I can get all of the benefits of tiling without the limitations.

I just spent two weeks in Germany and noticed that almost nobody there keeps their dog on a leash. Dogs are loose on city streets, in open parks, pretty much everywhere. No one seemed to have an issue with it, and none of the dogs were mi
