I was about to say, half the things people write complex shell scripts for, I’ll just do in something like Perl, Ruby, Python, even node/TS, because they have actual type systems and readability. And library support. Always situation-dependent though.

Who decides when the content is “hateful”? The perpetrators of genocide characterize themselves as marginalized and their victims as a force seeking to eradicate them. That is the problem with censorship. Those are the people who end up with the control of speech. You end up with an Orwellian inversion of concepts like hateful speech for the exact reason that they can be weaponized for profit and power.

You show me which fascist government is going to censor the fascists living under it. It’s a paradox. They will not. They will censor the resistance.

Bad usability, binary logs, crummy architecture.

It sort of is, the whole elogind thing.

Doesn’t really seem to help when it still shows their username…

I didn’t vote for Harris because she’s one of them. I also don’t use food delivery. Enjoying your feeling of superiority from pointing out the hypocrisy of random group intersections?

That should have come across as critical of the commodification.

People still love cult movies and other classics from 100 to 50 years ago, with handcrafted or minimal budget special effects, no CGI. It’s because it’s an entire art form and it can’t just be reduced solely to aesthetic appeal. That kind of approach is just a result of the commodification of art. You want to reduce a successful work of art to some quantifiable metric besides popularity/sales, so that you can create repeatable processes around producing it and selling it, and optimize them for cost, but art defies quantification. Even just basic “enjoyable gameplay” defies that.

Even better, ~/.local/share/

In contexts where mistakes don’t cost people’s lives.

If you wanted a privacy angle.

Turns out “move fast and break things” doesn’t work that well in the auto industry

I meant something a little more peer-to-peer than lemmy/mastodon actually. Each person self-hosting their own.

So in other words this is a tech issue.

As someone who’s written in-browser player and transcoding/server code…the lemmy/mastodon etc. version of this can work, especially if flexible bitrate handling is baked into it (i.e., bitrate offer/acceptance matching over a protocol). You can get this down to YouTube interface + install some software + open a port on your firewall.
