This reminds me so much of that time I got Red Alert from my parents. I was so happy, until I figured out it was the expansion Red Alert: The Aftermath. I had to wait so long before I got the base game I probably read the instruction manual and cover 10 times over. But that was enough to keep me happy till I got the original.

So photographers get hit double… First being replaced by AI and then forced to increase their prices because of… Again AI. What a great world we live in

I’m curious how. Maybe a different region? I don’t have Pihole anymore but it didn’t use to do anything for me for YouTube. Luckily we have uBlock.

I thought so too, but maybe I missed something new with Pihole/YT Ads.

pihole hasn’t worked for years to block youtube ads, no?

And yet most politicians here still use it. Any that’s still using it I consider a child rapist and fascist/nazi enabler. Sadly that leaves very few left to vote for.

Because you didn’t know it was called 480p or knew of better options doesn’t mean you can’t see that it wasn’t great or improvable. You knew colour existed before getting a colour, TV so you knew it could be better…

People did have problems, there just wasn’t an (affordable) alternative. If you would go back to the 70/80’s and offered anyone the choice between 480p and 1080p, all else being equal. Would anyone pick 480? I know I wouldn’t

It’s not because we learned to live with it or didn’t know better, that it was the best option.

This guy is going to be next TempleOS incident, is he not?

Imagine being a paying Premium member and still get caught by this… That said, the YouTube comments are worth shit, so not much is lost there. The descriptions can be quite annoying when missing.

I really should start looking into yt-dlp or something. Anybody know if that’s still working fine these days?

When companies like Google, Microsoft, etc. are starting to squirm and whimper. You know you are on the right path. So I take this as a sign that the EU is heading in the right direction.
