I wasn’t saying the exchange for money happens on Valve’s servers, but it’s Valve who oversees everyone’s inventory. You could hack the game and run a third party account server and give yourself all the knives but they would not be recognized by Valve and thus worthless, unless you convince exchanges that your server is trustworthy and has assets behind it.

I mean, there’s DRM but that hasn’t stopped them ever before…
Do they stand to lose something if they switch? I don’t understand CS:GO economics, maybe there is a sanction-evading money flow via weapon and skin trading on Valve’s servers?

Zoos secretly buy rejected 1-day-old male chicks from egg farms: it’s the cheapest live meat for carnivores. I wonder if that’s how the chick got near the tortoise.

Unlike most, this title was not translated.
I tried to find the YouTube video but failed. I think everything is the same but the text is replaced with Czech (Československá televize uvádí at the start, and v hlavních rolích before the “starring” credits). Since they likely didn’t have a textless copy (those get licensed separately), they had to replace scenes with text like “Written by” with others, with no regard to lip syncing because it’s a dub anyway. They really despised covering text with opaque rectangles, which is what I wish ČT avoided at the “Česká televize uvádí španělský seriál” card of the Willy Fog intro linked above (I purposefully set the start time of the link to 39 seconds to avoid that awful edit obviously done with a 90s character generator and not meticulous hand-made lettering and film like the rest).

That makes for great anime fansubs but good luck explaining that to kids in 5 seconds of audio. Or finding another joke that starts with Bill crying. At least in my country, localizers don’t get to make edits to the video despite doing a great job otherwise (licencing issues? In communist Czechoslovakia, they could: they replaced lettering in the M*A*S*H and Willy Fog: Around the World in 80 Days theme songs, for example, and even changed the melody in The Smurfs with Johan and Peewit’s.)

Welp, I remembered this post and it’s most likely valid CD-audio, just with awful noise.
- Comment on Feeling that groove 1 week ago:
I know, among other things there is a time code inserted very frequently between audio data, without which seeking would not be possible at all. However, the audio uses over 90 % of the data so it’s largely responsible for the overall appearance of the track.
- Comment on Feeling that groove 1 week ago:
Records are very easy to understand. Even without a microscope, you can see periodic patterns on test vinyls with beeps.
You can even see tracks starting and ending on pressed CDs under the right lighting with your own eyes. I wonder, is the encoding of silence (approx. 2 seconds) really that different or does the density of grooves or pit/land pattern specifically differ to help the player seek there faster? I know that uncompressed audio naturally results in a repeated pattern when silence is encoded but given the 8-to-14 modulation and other error correctiion techniques, I find it hard to believe it would result in significantly different density unless they specifically added a special mode just for encoding silence that makes the track brighter-colored for easier coarse seeking.

Rip the video with yt-dlp or whatever, then reupload it to catbox.moe or your instance (likely only VP9 WebP under 10 MB works)

My ISP (O₂ CZ) has blocked some Fedi instances before but always whitelisted them after I reported the error, and lemmy.world was never affected. This was likely because of Cloudflare.

I prefer using tape to cover the underlying traces because it’s a reversible process, it could help if you’re planning to sell the TV or if a button-remapping tool gets developed later.

click everything
It doesn’t click nearly everything by default, that would diminish uBlock’s bandwidth savings. I agree with your point though, and ads measuring signups rather than clicks have more agressive tracking by definition and should not be encouraged.

Oh, I was thinking of it as 𝑦 = 𝑒^𝑥^ or 𝑥 = ln 𝑦, whose derivative in respect to 𝑦 is 𝑥 = 1/𝑦 (for 𝑥 > 0) or 𝑦 = 1/𝑥 (for 𝑦 > 0).
