   I wonder why YouTube doesn't implement full DRM, such as Widevine, at this point. Is it because it would break compatibility with some devices? Is it too expensive? (not that I'd like that; I always download videos from YouTube fo

   Me too, but I've used a good VHS player with HDMI output. So it's one transformation step less, and maybe the end quality is the best possible (I hope).

   Are you sure you typed the right email address? My 2012 Dropbox leak still shows up for my account.

   I'm happy that somebody is trying to create a new browser -- even though some people say it's impossible nowadays. But FUTO sponsoring that project gives bad vibes.

   Exactly, never accept a switch to a private place when you're trying to gather attention on public matters. It could and it will be used against you later on.

    I don't see why Pac-Man should be valued less than the statue of David. Of course they're different, but they both contributed to the culture heritage of the human species.

    Yeah, 100% sure it will get worse, especially after the AI bubble pops.

    100% agree. I've been working in the industry for almost 20 years, I'm a full stack developer and I manage my servers. I've tried signing up for AWS and I noped out. AWS Is a complete mess. Everything is obscured behind other

    Also, let's stop using the term "sideloading", as if it's something bad or shady. It's called "installing apps".

    The best way to block YouTube Shorts is using a modified APK on Android. Plus, you don't get ads. I'd almost use the "real" YouTube app with ads on, if I could disable Shorts entirely.

    That's not a good thing for other reasons; e.g. there are a lot of inconsistencies in modern Windows, like pieces of Windows 3.1 still in Windows 11.

    I agree with you. The main problem is that we don't have many politicians that want to tackle immigration in a serious and responsible way. So people end up giving votes to the far right.

    Fine, there's a registry option. Do you think 99% of users even know what a registry is?

    I agree, nowadays Linux seems like the only reliable solution. Even macOS, with the latest "liquid glass" update, feels like a toy for kids. I just wish the Affinity suite would be available for Linux too.

    I was surprised by the comment about John Gruber; I love reading his Daring Fireball. I'll try to look at the articles from Gilbert's perspective now.

    There's a famous mod for the YouTube app called Re-Vanced. It adds support for SponsorBlock, removes Shorts, etc.
