For what it’s worth, I’ve found that windows and mac forums have similar issues if you approach them as an outsider.
I feel similar frustration when faced with trying to accomplish things on those OSes. Mac forums in particular are terrible about “you shouldn’t want to do that”.
It doesn’t solve your problem, just wanted to share that I’ve experienced it from the other side.
As a gentoo user, I’m always confused when people think gentoo is about multi-day compiles. Rebuilding the whole system takes a few hours (not that I ever need to do that), and binary packages are available for the big stuff if you want it. It’s basically just arch with more configuration options.
Not insisting you or anyone should run it, but it’s not as ridiculous as people seem to think.
You can if you add to playlist from the search screen.
I keep expecting them to break that workaround, but it keeps working for me
The OP doesn’t, but the REST API Docs say:
Your consumer can query the API on its own, and download 5 subtitles per IP’s per 24 hours, but a user must be authenticated to download more. Users will then be able to download as many subtitles as their ranks allows, from 10 as simple signed up user, to 1000 for VIP user.

Though that’s not fully ‘unauthenticated’, as the above is discussing the use of a developer API key. Though that would be built into whatever app is being used.
Complete opposite here. Typing this on an iPhone 8, and I’ve never retired a phone sooner than 4 years. Usually I give up around 6 due to lack of updates becoming a problem.
A longer support cycle would definitely sway my purchase decision.
Edit: though I am the type to replace batteries, buttons and screens myself as necessary
The news was going to leak, so he decided to get ahead of it. He very much would have preferred to finish the investigation first

The cheaper option would be to set up an ad-hoc tv-to-tv network. You might not let your TV talk to the internet, but I bet your neighbour does, or if not, then their neighbour will.
Monitors are effectively always in ‘filmmaker mode’, as they don’t do frame interpolation and colour grading and over-scanning and all the stuff that filmmaker mode disables.
Have you tried in the past few years? They basically don’t exist anymore in the consumer space.
Worst case of this solution is you might have to wait before watching your video. It wouldn’t be unreasonable for google to refuse to send you the video until $ad_duration has elapsed.
Still beats watching ads though. I could queue up a bunch in a “watch later” playlist and have a program get them all ready for me.
Perhaps this one? I didn’t watch it
I considered IRC back in 1994, liked it, and never left.
That said, I don’t find it very good for piracy these days, as things have moved on from the days of fserves and xdcc bots being the best thing around.
many networks have memoserv for this purpose
though as another user said, using a bouncer is probably the most discord-like experience
Yeah I think it was just Noah. Chris hosted a news podcast for a while that treaded into some conspiracy areas, but wasn’t right-wing.
Either way I find their current setup pretty good at staying away from politics unless they’re directly related to the technology conversation at hand.
I guess I disagree with your assertion as to what is the ‘purpose’ of the fediverse. To me choosing associations is the point, so admins disconnecting from abusive instances fits well within that belief. If the fediverse meant accepting all input from all instances without question, I’d leave here as quickly as I did voat.
I don’t mind creating a couple accounts on different instances as need be. Though I’m also the kind of person who had a handful of reddit accounts for various purposes, so I understand my perspective isn’t likely the norm.
I agree though that based on your requirements, spinning up your instance might be the best bet.
So where does that leave me?
you could sign up for a different site which isn’t defederated from beehaw or the other instances you’re interested in. lemm.ee for instance.
or maybe they’ll use browser fingerprinting and other hints to try and suss out who the ‘bad’ users are
part of the issue, imo, is that creators also put ads in their videos. So you get two pre-roll ads, a sponsor segment, an ad in the middle, and then another sponsor segment. Maybe throw in some product placements as well. And one of those ads might be 1.5 hours long if you don’t manually skip it. I know I’m not the only one who woke up after falling asleep to a video to find themselves 45 minutes into some ad.
After living with ublock and sponsorblock for so long, it’s shocking to watch youtube without them.
In my experience Office 365 is even harder to deliver to.
Yep, this is my experience as well.
I’ve had some issues with google, but at least they tend to put them in Junk, or tell me the messages are being rejected.
Microsoft will give me a 250 message, and then route the message to /dev/null.
That’s contrary to the RFCs, and really annoying. Since it doesn’t end up in Junk, the receiver can’t say ‘not junk’, and since it doesn’t bounce, the sender thinks it has been sent.
I’m signed up for Microsofts junk mail reporting, and when this happens the UI shows no issues with my ip, and doesn’t admit to any e-mail filtering. The only way I can detect it is by sending messages to my test accounts, or waiting for users to yell.
Fwiw, anyone else who runs in to this scenario, expect your first support ticket with microsoft to be rejected. Keep responding to it. On the second or third try they might end up removing the silent ban.
Nearly identical story here, and I agree.
Habits and hardware are definitely the big ones to overcome. I still remember how absolutely lost I felt the first couple times I tried installing slackware in the 90s. I could install/set up windows in my sleep. But then slackware dropped to an unfamiliar command prompt, I can’t dir, there isn’t even a C drive, and now I’m expected to configure something called xfree86. Luckily I wasn’t told to use vi or I’d be stuck there to this day.
New users aren’t thrown into the deep end quite like that anymore, but it’s still a big change for a windows power user. So much of what you learned is not applicable or just the wrong way to do things. Mac users and Windows non-power-users seem to have a much easier time accepting the changes.
It’s definitely not for everyone (is any OS?) but it’s been ‘ready’ as a desktop OS for me since Mandrake 8 in ~2001. That’s about when I ditched windows 2000 and haven’t looked back.
