Check out MeTube. It is just a wrapper for ytp-dl. You can set extention in a way that only icon needs to be clicked. Everything is automated. No need to do anything in CLI.

- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 1 week ago:
Cheap amps work bad with mid/high-end speakers. Cable should be shielded. Amp should be grounded well. If speakers have balanced inputs (TRS - tip, ring sleeve), I suggest to use a balanced cable. If it just TS (tip/sleeve) or RCA, then it is not balanced and it doesn’t matter what cables you will use. Your amp is most likely the culprit.

Many serial killers, murderers or just plain weird people would claim they’ve done it even if they didnt. For the most part they just want some spotlight, or if just a weird person/homeless - to go to jail just to not to stay on the streets. So, I agree that even if they admitted to it - justice system still has to prove they’ve done it.

Cheapest burger and fries will send you 7 euros back. One can buy Doner for that price which will include potatoes, tons of salad and meat, sauce (sometimes even 3 of it) and a piece of bread. Kebap is the new fast food and it is all round better than any fast food chains of today.
- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies that AI features will be 'opt-in' and there will be a 'killswitch' to disable them 5 weeks ago:
Opt-in you say? How about RMB click with AI chatbot that you can disable by clicking “Disable AI bot” there? Wasn’t opt-in first. And, how is that in aboug:config .ml. list contains tons of entries set to True, rather than False? How in the fuck is it opt-in? It has been opt-out and in order to opt-out most of it, you would need an intermediate/advanced user. There was no toggle switch on a sidebar for normies to see and click. I call BS on this statement.

Jesus. This house has nothing in common with Home Alone anymore. I bet they would bank more on keeping it as close to original as possible, or in other words - do nothing and win.

240 games, only 10 reviews out of which only 2 are negative.
Unless game is either really great or really bad, I skip leaving a review. I am sure most do exactly the same.

Weird, right? On the one hand - we dont eat banana peels. So, it must be fine, right? But on the other hand, I’d also hesitate to eat a snickers bar washed up on the shore.
- Comment on "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!" 1 month ago:
Yep. Lots of us do, me included. The only thing is that I peel them first and then wash them thoroughly before eating. I do not wash bananas. But I also do not buy bananas washed up on the shore.
- Comment on "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!" 1 month ago:
I mean, I peel them and wash them right after. Then I cook them in boiling water or fry on a pan. Not eat raw.
- Comment on "No eating for free allowed! You must only watch it rot on the beach!" 1 month ago:
First. As mentioned by MonkderVierte, not fine but a warning.
Second. I’d really think thrice to pick up washed on the shore bananas, or just about anything edible. Basic hygiene to me. Many would disagree with me and say that one can rinse it off. But I don’t know, man. Guess I am a germophobe.
Guess UK government is just trying to protect people from possible health risks. Cause, let’s fucking face it. Tons of people have issues with hygiene. You can’t expect everyone to at the very fucking least rinse these bananas, let alone rinse them well. Also, can you imagine any world government to proudly tell people “There’s bunch of bananas washed up on the shore. Go pick’em up! Free potassium snack!” ?
Sad to see this many of fruit being wasted.

Bot prosting AI generated images to niche reddit subs also makes no sense to me. But that is a reality we are dealing with here too.

Check this guide
You will need:
- To learn/get to know docker-compose or some kind of docker-compose manager. (I suggest Komodo)
- Storage! Lots of it!
- Patience - Arr stack is easy, but might be confusing to configure sometimes
- Preferably USENET account, but private and free torrent trackers will also work fine.
The rest is just trial and error. After you succeed, you’ll have automated media downloads for TV/Movies/Music/Books. Also, don’t hesitate to google around and see what people suggest.

They are talking about bubble popping soon for 2 years except AI is older than that. For a bubble to burst - 2 years is not very long time. How is to have one talking point for 2 years is not a long time?

Broken game seller
Asset flips exploiter
And these two came out of nowhere and have no backbone to support either of these.
Other points are also debateable:
Defending the monopolistic. By definition Valve is not monopoly. Even if we stretch the meaning, Valve would still barely fall under the definition. They are not the ones who decides what games to be sold and at what price. They do have competition and they are not continuously destroying it.
Loot box pushing They adapted lootboxes? Yes! Do they insist on lootboxes? No. These are purely cosmetic and bring no advantage whatsoever. (Except TF2 but you still can get all weps by playing the game and not spending a cent. Also game is half-dead anyway) Many games adopted lootboxes, and some, like Star Wars Battlefront 2, had them as a pay-2-win option.
Gambling economy boosting Not Valve was the one to create csgolobby and other external gambling sites. They did slightly restrict gamingling by locking items as non-tradeable for a week from the time of purchase. That is not enough to kill it, but it does restrict gambling for a bit.
Seasonal FOMO instigator
What exacltly fomo is with Steam? You’d say - sales. Dunno how anyone uses them but I go to check sales - if I see something I like and am willing to pay for, I buy it. I see It Takes Two for 9.99? I get! I see Need For Speed The Run for 9.99 - I pass. I don’t have to buy anything I wouldn’t play on a Steam sale even if it costs fraction of the full price.
Fomo is when League of Legends runs winter/championship skins in store claiming that is one-time offer and that skins never are coming back to be sold so people buy them to look unique in game. This is fomo. And it becomes even more of a clown fiesta when these skins come to store a year later. Maybe even with the same one-time-offer claim.

Talks about AI bubble burst been there a long time. I sure hope it will happen tomorrow, but I really wouldn’t put my bets on that happening any time soon.

The latest yacht is a research vessel - not a “party-cocaine-hookers” vessel. News articles accurately avoid mentioning that.

succeeding by not actively running their platform into the ground
As someone who began to use Steam from 2007, and play their games since 2000 - they not only made their platform better over years, they also now branching out lately. Their hardware is either the best in price/performance or outright innovative.
They are not “succeeding by not actively running their platform into the ground”, they succeeding in actually providing a good service and getting better the more time passes. All that while all competition does is to attempt to expand their user base without actually providing a good service.
Just thought that if not Valve, we’d be stuck in the same shithole streaming services been lately.
