Also, funding Russia directly funds their WW3 in Ukraine. (As does Trump, but in a less efficient way.)

I thought transcripts already broke a long ago. Are they working again?

Also, archive.org is in magaland, so that is a very endangered service.

yt-dlp has never required an account. If it looks like that, either you're seeing some error from, e.g., youtube and not yt-dlp claiming that or you're running some sort of scam version instead of the real thing.

There's no cycle. It's just a long slide with illusionary changes in between.

If only sites agreed on putting a machine readable URL somewhere that lists all items by date. Like a site summary or a syndication stream. And maybe like a "map" of a static site. It would be so easy to share their updates with o

P2P services proved a long ago that hosting is not a problem. Politics is a problem. What we don't see is more web video services and services that successfully trick varied content creators to upload regularly to their platform. http

I'll just mention ytcc here. Not a recommendation, but might be suitable for someone. https://pypi.org/project/ytcc/

Not arguing, but a few facts: Most vibe coded things are web sites. Not games, though surely assets are being generated as we speak. MS Office is a product of corruption, not developent, it can't be killed outside of political means.

Running costs of a car sure buy a lot of rentals or even taxi rides if you do the math. I noticed that a long ago.

I think the only Zig hype I'm seeing is about its compiler and compatibility. Those might well be the same two reasons why you never hear about modula-2.

I also tried to find what this is supposed to run on. Some of it looks like intel crap and most looks like it's just an application. Looking at the comments, this seems to be AI slop that doesn't actually run on anything or do any

Funnily that's one of the first questions on my mind when I look at a new program or library. What was it written in or what platform for, what's the build system or requirements and what does it actually do. Quite often I decide

Reminds me of the (now decades old) humorous observation that the entired R5RS (Scheme) book is shorter than the table of contents of the C++ spec.

Which is funny, because it's probably the easiest to use (common) build system around.

And you can't write every document with an assumption that the reader knows nothing. Each document would end up the size of a phone book if you explained every single piece of technology used and provided tutorials for them. Knowing wh

Because it's a waste of money, space, effort, and nature as well as an unreliable backup that gives you a false sense of security. As well as a good way to leak information. But yes, keeping the cards for a while and rotating a large p

That really is not a backup. You should store things in files (disk images or archives) and media that you control and can checksum. And which you know you can recover from without relying on any service, company, or download being availabl

No ECC, no replaceable parts, software updates stop in a few years. Apple's hardware is absolutely trash for anything that needs reliability. For shiny disposable entertainment use, it can be great.

I'm dreaming of that as well. But non-Android will always be against the chipset manufacturers not giving any documentation or software to anyone except NDA'd companies that follow their reference implementation exactly. Google is
