One thing I don't understand is that, afaik, and NFT and the record of transactions have no legal weight or enforceability like the assignment of copyright.

Then it appears the complaint that NFTs using too much electricity that you see on Twitter a lot is about Ethereum doing proof of work, which it won't much longer as it transitions to proof of stake. I'm really interested in Chia,

I understood NFTs better after reading this, what seems to me, fair and objective article and afterwards really don't see much utility in them. I can see how they might serve a purpose in a very narrow, specialized set of circumstances

Ah. Then perhaps the problem is that the program dumps out in failure mode instead of printing this helpful message.

I guess it seemed like such a trivial fix. What's to explain? If you know the code you go to where you make the file name and put a limit on it. I guess there are other considerations that I am not aware of. I was not grumpy. I thought

Great! Thanks for the feedback. I had something that I thought I could throw over the fence and then get on with my life because I had a solution for myself, but now that you mention it, that's not a good way to approach it. Instead I

So there is a bug in the Twitter video download. When Twitter went to 280 chars it started showing up. 280 chars is too long for a file name (on Windows at least.) I sent YouTube-dl a pull request with a fix but not only did they not accept

Hopefully, the number of people you are talking about is fairly small, or maybe I'm just out of touch with the rise of crime and corruption on the dark web - but I wouldn't lose any sleep if they got shut down. I'm fairly lib
