Am I the only one around here that wants to see them burn in hell just out of principle?

Don't be a newb. Learn the command line and use yt-dlp.

I have been using Freetube since October of 2023 even know there are browser based blocking options. I just like it so much better. The only thing (and this is minor) that bothers me, is I fall asleep a lot of times with videos kind of running in the background and my laptop goes into 'auto suspend' after sometime. I normally have a linux terminal window in the background and I run a command to make it suspend after 45 minutes when I lay down. When I wake it back up I have to hit "ctrl + r" for a second to re-load the video other wise it does not like it. This is on top of the 10 or so seconds it takes my computer to wake up from suspend and get an IP address on my network again.

well... it doesn't. Mass bends space-time which is the reason why things appear to fall. Einstein figured that out a long time ago.

can I ask- what kind of OSTs? I have about 5000 individual OSTs, composed of games mostly from the 80s and 90s.

I'd like to do the same, however on VLC (in Linux)... is there an easy way? (sorry for my ignorance) EDIT: I found a tutorial and tried to open a random youtube video, I think I may be missing a codec or something. When I click play nothing happens, but I think it i accessing the video since I can see a thumbnail. I think this is a problem on my end.

I usually watch youtube (well via Freetube) on 480, maybe 720 when I am paying attention and 360 when I am laying down. I prefer these small file sizes because I can skip left and right in the video time with the arrow buttons like the file is local and not online. I haven't pirated a movie in years (I would not want to watch anything new) but I download a lot of old racing from the 80s and 90s and it is already 480p, so as long as it is in english, not black/white I am happy.

me too but back in october of 23... works so much better than youtube for me even if ads weren't the reason

There are lots of terms. I discovered this because there is an older song I like that has his vocals over some trance - it is by Chicane called "don't give up". I also found Chicane is blocked. This causes a streisand effect for me where I will purposely search for and share items that are censored regardless if I like them or not.

 

I use soulseek (well nicotine+ for linux, but same network). For years know I have know that searching for certain terms will fail to give results because they are being filtered. For example "bryan" or "adams" returns no results for me. Although I can find these items in other ways- I'm curious if there have been any new finds on how to bypass this?

Years ago there was a thing called CINAVIA causing problems copying DVDs... or maybe it was blue ray? Did this get beat ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Years ago I sold my TV (the big kind with the heavy back) and my DVD player on craiglist for 5$ usd each. I only watch video via a 30 inch monitor connected to my linux PCs. It's nice having full control over my hardware. I would never buy a "smart" tv out of principle.

Upvoted - if you want to do cool things... learn how to use the command line interface. It's what separates the men from the boys....
