I have a flask app with a bunch of home utilities I’ve written and one of them is a wrapper around yt-dlp that takes a URL and saves it to a Plex library location.

Then there’s a bookmarklet I use from desktop Firefox when I’m on a youtube (or other) video page that sends the current URL to that endpoint.

Also I can “share” any video URL on my phone to this web service, and I use that all the time from Newpipe when I want to watch something on my TV instead of on the phone.

10 or more years ago I would have said yes. But in this current version of capitalism, any powerful new technology will be used to benefit the very rich only, at the expense of the rest of us. It will hurt us more than help us at this moment.

Good thing you’re not judging. If it was the passive aggressive criticism it looks like on the surface, it might contribute to this very topic of people feeling safer keeping to themselves than speaking freely and saying the wrong words.

We need to communicate our sexual identity clearly at a high level because we all need to work out with each other who can date or fuck who.

We don’t have as much practical reason to know each other’s specific experience with autism right away. And if you are close to someone and need to understand their autism at a lower level, their personal situation is more complicated than being one of five or six types.

And if you do need to understand someone’s sexuality at a low level, it could also be more complicated and individualized than just being one letter. But knowing that one letter with sexuality helps as a start.

So the woman won’t scream if a fake trans rapist starts raping them? The justice system won’t prosecute an accused fake trans rapist because there’s a newer social contract?

Oh I see, it’s like bankruptcy.

Is there a magical barrier that keeps men who don’t say they’re trans from entering women’s bathrooms?

Probably right, but at least my watch history is all attached to a throwaway email address I use for it.

It’s largely the same because we started out with mostly enthusiasts doing it in semi hidden places. Then it was mainstreamed and became too easy for casuals to do out in the open. So laws and enforcement caught up and now it’s most effective again if you know your way around, which most casuals won’t if they can afford a few streaming services.

One big change is no longer having to burn any media, you download something then it’s on plex and you can watch it instantly.

If I could bring anything back from the 90s it would be a big selection of games, movies, tv, music, and books that I actually care enough to consume. There’s hardly anything worth downloading anymore.

I’d ask to switch with you, except I know very well that anyone’s life can be much more complicated than it seems on the surface, and happiness does not automatically come from any of that. Therapy doesn’t help everyone be happier, but it’s something worth trying or trying again.

The world does suck right now. All the more reason to find something like a cat or some other thing that makes you happy to help ignore all the bullshit.

Your cat had a good life and loved you and then died. There doesn’t have to be a point, there’s more good than suffering.

Fuck all of this incoming wave of AI generated crap

Sure, it will be the new thing I never use.

Once I looked into Amazon employee benefits and you didn’t even get a free Prime account.

Best Buy price matches Amazon so I can read reviews online and buy in person to get it the same day without waiting for or paying for shipping.

Sentence started bad and kept getting worse.
