You're a huge fucking loser.

Interesting, wasn't for me? Glad to be able to help some none the less :)

Edit: updated to latest and now it works fine

BTW if you want to read this article without disabling ad blocker you can use this script: Open developer tools and paste this in the console, you can then scroll with the up/down arrow keys :)

(()=> {
	const modal = document.getElementsByClassName("_9r0K-Oum  _5kE-6aUK ")[0]
	const button = document.getElementsByClassName(" aJVLc6uP  ")[0]
	modal.remove()
	button.remove()
	let scrollTarget = 0
	document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
		if(e.code === "ArrowDown") {
			scrollTarget += 10
		} else if(e.code === "ArrowUp") {
			scrollTarget -= 10
		}
		window.scrollTo(0, scrollTarget)
	})
})()

Yep it's blitzscaling. Run it at a loss until it's a necessity, then charge whatever the hell you want. They're blitzscaling our right to intellectual property and our right to work.

I've been thinking this for some time. It just seems completely implausible that companies like OpenAI will continue letting the people of the world use their product for free, what with the ruthless material requirements involved in it's distribution and upkeep.

To me it seems clear that the right to intellectual property and the right to work or contribute meaningfully to a workplace (as if that were actually a right) are currently being blitzscaled. I.e. these guys are running their companies at a loss to allow their product to become a necessity. Once that's achieved you will no longer have the option not to use it and they will be able to charge whatever they like.

We really need to begin pressuring states and governance to protect us from the predatory business models of these venture capitalists.

Oh cool I'll give newpipe a go

 

Any other invidious users here noticed massive playback issues recently?

I've been using invidious for the past ~5months with no issues, I really like it and think it's a great youtube frontend alternative. In the last few days though, I haven't been able to get anything to play at all. All of the servers seem to be experiencing the same problem.

Is this just me?

Oh god that's horrifying.

Yep it's frustrating. The convenience argument doesn't hold true anymore either. There was once a time where encrypted messaging services and self-hosted solutions were much trickier to on-board. That's not the case anymore and even with the ability to just download and launch some software that does all this for you people still choose oppressive and unsafe technologies / providers.

Yep, inter-socially policed techno fascism is here to stay. I haven't had a cellphone for 2 years. The amount of objective problems this causes in my life is somewhere between negligible to none. The amount of social problems this causes me is endless - people become personally offended that they can't demand to chat with me at their liberty.

I'm unsure whether people would assume you had robbed a bank, I think this would depend largely on your character / build. I know for a fact that if I did this, no one in my life would assume or think for a second that I had done that.

Would this be legal? Is there anything preventing you from dying currency, if there is no intention or act of counterfeiting?

Depends where you are but in a large number of countries it's illegal to deface currency. (This doesn't change the fact that people do deface it and I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble for it).

Shop owner's can also say no if your notes are too busted, I've had this happen before trying to purchase with bills which have a tear.
