What’s made you unlock twitch.tv?
A couple of events where my only choices for watching them are: Twitch, Youtube or Fartbook.
What are you doing differently?
TL;DR: I stopped going there unless I have to for the reason above.

I used to spend Waaaaay too much time on the platform. I had a whole setup using Streamlink, MPV and Chatterino where sometimes, I’d have up to 10 concurrent open streams all day long on a secondary monitor (thanks to tiling window managers’ magic), some I was interested in watching, some I moderated for a couple of friends and some I’ve had open just for support (helping new streamers in the community with their numbers till they take off and such). Theeen something happened to one of my loved ones, so I had to stop all the nonsense and spend that time and attention with the person who deserves it the most. I blocked the platform at first since I had a habit to type twit... as soon as I opened a browser 😅 (addiction is real) and now I don’t. (That reflex got replaced with typing twtxt... instead 😂)

Wow! Just Wow! 😮 Discovered this whilst trying to debug why my Youtube frontend no longer works:

I’m bad with faces, I know that. But I’m having a really hard time recognizing Linus in this video:

Basically a different person to me. Is it just me or has he really changed that much? 😳

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yep, that’s very nice music. :-)

Can’t help myself, but I have to include the Uranus song now. :-D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSWszdSHkyE#t=7

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Venus?

Its like old school TV but with youtube videos. Each channel has a subject and the channels play in a sort of realtime. so no going forward or back. Perfect for channel surfing.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Exactly! 😂

It’s not what I meant (I was referring to the motor of the desk making a whirring sound 😂), but now I’m reminded of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sKppwrLBY8

Some bad code just broke a billion Windows machines - YouTube

– This is a really good accurate and comical take on what happened with this whole Crowdstrike global fuck up.

This reminds me of this video: The Biggest Gap in Science: Complexity

However you might end up with more questions (complexity?) than answers (simplicity?)

It’s a very dangerous time. The coalition for reason is extremely weak. That’s why I really appreciate C.H. Danhauser’s entertaining and informative Logical Thinking series. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUqMNVnELzE&list=PLMpofmkxKHBJfta_JzekLbWGHUSLUJoLt)

Can anyone recommend and/or vouch for a Chrome/browser extension that lets me write rewrite rules for arbitrary links on a page? e.g: s/(www\.)?youtube.com\/watch?v=([^?]+)/tubeproxy.mills.io/play/\1 for example? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net Watched that one the other day after seeing that much chatter about #HTMX on the feed. And now I’m watching HTMX Sucks - Youtube

by the same person (or should I say people?) 😂

What’s all of this about? one may ask…

Well I’ve been itching to toy around with a BSD on actual hardware and away from the comfort of VMs. NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD… It doesn’t matter. I just want to “Make it feel… Make it feel alive AGAIN!”

Feels like my days of browsing YouTube for content are numbered. It’s only a matter of time before YouTube refuses to load for any browser with an ad blocker.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org i first learned about it from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JxvKfSV9Ns&pp=ygUOZmlib25hY2NpIGhlYXA%3D

and this site: https://www.programiz.com/dsa/fibonacci-heap

@xuu@txt.sour.is That was one of the horror puzzles where I had to look for help. 🥴 I modelled my solution after this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pDSooPLLkI

(I can’t explain it better than the video anyway.) It takes a second on my machine and that’s with my own hashmap implementation which is probably not the fastest one.

Holy moly, this is a fantastic 37C3 talk about security researchers getting attacked and they reverse-engineer and fully disclose the entire – very advanced – attack. Operation Triangulation: What You Get When Attack iPhones of Researchers

Very impressive!

Voilà, j’ai craqué. Je viens de montrer à mes élèves comment utiliser invidious à la place de youtube

Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox. Spoofing Chrome magically makes this problem go away. : youtube

Ce générique, j’adore ! (la bonne auberge saison 3 #jdr) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSoew6bm6es

youtube ads, back button and forwards quickly seems to help (use keyboard shortcuts)

@eapl.me@eapl.me Which problems are those? 🤔

The only “advanced” Tetris I played back then was “Block Out”:

Except it didn’t run nearly as smooth as in this video. 😅

I’ve been reading “Shareware Heroes: The renegades who redefined gaming at the dawn of the internet” learning of games developed before I was born, or when was too small.
I’m finding old gems to play and understanding that we have the same problems developing games 30+ years after, although with some obvious differences.

Currently playing:

Which reminds me of another Tetris I don’t know how it came to my PC in the 90s.

@prologic@twtxt.net Any of these work? https://gadgetstouse.com/blog/2023/05/15/bypass-ad-blockers-not-allowed-on-youtube/

So Youtube rea really cracking down on Ad-blockers. The new popup is a warning saying you can watch 3 videos before you can watch no more. Not sure for how long. I guess my options are a) wait for the ad-blockers to catch-up b) pay for Youtube c) Stop using Youtube.

I think I’m going with c) Stop using Youtube.

Oh okay, so Youtube is cracking down on “Ad Blockers”. Rightio. 🤔 And paying for Youtube Premium costs $14/month?! 🤯 Get fucked 🤣 I guess I won’t be using Youtube anymore. #Youtube #Ads #Premium #Suck

What do we make of this? Sky News Australia interviews 'free-thinking' artificial intelligence - YouTube

@prologic@twtxt.net Invidious might satisfy these requirements: https://invidious.io

It’s worth noting, though, that Youtube is right now in the process of locking itself down and it might not be long before all third-party frontends stop working. Similar to what twitter and reddit are doing.

Is there a Youtube frontend that doesn’t suck? Requirements:

• Disable all comments.
  
• Disable all public trending.
  
• Local-only
  
• Kid friendly

With Youtube testing a “three strikes and you’re out” policy against people who use ad blockers, I’m also wondering whether Web 2.0 is effectively walled off and I should just give up on it entirely and look elsewhere for information and entertainment.

Most of the can run locally have such a small training set they arnt worth it. Are more like the Markov chains from the subreddit simulator days.

There is one called orca that seems promising that will be released as OSS soon. Its running at comparable numbers to OpenAI 3.5.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net you think we could get media cards to show youtube previews?
