Sadly most of those older YouTube videos have been run through multiple re-compressions and look so much worse than they did at upload. It’s a major bummer.

Treasure it! Not looking forwards to when I have to give up my manual hatch for whatever is on the market when it dies. Although I haven’t test driven an EV yet, I can’t imagine it’s that engaging. Perhaps I’ll just have to get my kicks out of motorbikes at that point.

Seems like the 2013 (and onwards?) model according to pictures I can find online.

This must be a Honda Fit interior, right? I still wish I had managed to snag one of those, but they are probably double the price of other used hatches where I am. Ah well.

Soulseek is the opposite of “tagged consistently”.

For anything more than a short walk I always grab: Water bottle (or 2), hand sanitiser, wallet, phone, and keys. I don’t like being thirsty.

Oof. I give up after 365 days. I figure if no one has seeded by then no one will. Staring at that 98.7% completion makes me sad. :(

Fair enough. I actually posted my own comment after I downvoted Arcane’s due to their overly agressive and absolutist tone. It’s hard to have a discussion when personal attacks are in every reply.

if I write a loophole in your employer’s code, like a patch, that keeps them from having to pay you, and they like not having to pay you, I haven’t done anything egregious or unethical?

I don’t really care about the ethics in the Revanced situation nor the greater adblocking scene. That’s a moral question for individuals to answer. From a legal perspective, I don’t agree with the removal of original code. While I don’t know of a legal precedent for the digital age, the closest physical comparison I can make is to the distribution of a lock-pick or a gun. And we don’t prosecute lock-pick manufacturers for selling to a thief, we prosecute the thief for breaking into someone’s home with it. Exempting cases where the actual product is illegal, such as specific gun models, but as far as I am aware there is no such law against any software (yet). Even if there were, I doubt it would all under the perview of DMCA. Thus my reasoning for saying this is an abuse of DMCA and my reason for distaste towards the situation.

Bringing this back to your original comment:

I wouldn’t expect Spotify to just let people use premium services for free. Fuck Spotify, right there with y’all on that, but this isn’t egregious or unethical behavior for them.

I wouldn’t expect them to either! But I also don’t expect them to try and take down material they have no right to take down and I would consider that to be a bit ‘egregious’.

Edit: You know, I should have actually done the research before commenting. Anyway, I looked further into DMCA intent and it covers some circumvention tools which may(?) apply to adblockers, although I haven’t heard of that being tested in court before. Leaving my comment here since it’s already federated anyway.

Except that ReVanced is not distributing anything of Spotify’s (to my knowledge). By patching Spotify’s app on the user device instead of providing downloads to pre-patched apps, the only thing ReVanced is providing is their own code. The reason they use a patcher system is exactly to avoid frivilous abuses of DMCA such as this. They are not infringing Spotify’s copyright in any way.

Streisand effect at work, I see.

Gotta say I’m surprised to see Spotify adding something people actually want. It must be getting rough for them.

Same table aligned to cents for easier reading.

And America, and Asia, and etcetera… :( maybe Antarctica is still chill though?

AI lovers should grieve their lost brain cells.

You can survive three weeks without food. But, many people have gone for over 40 days during fasting and have survived.

I dread to think what state your body is in by that point, it has to be consuming itself to keep going.

I have two identical HDDs as a mirror, another one that has no failsafe (but it’s fine, because the data it contains is non-critical)

On separate pools, I hope? My understanding of ZFS is that the loss of any vdev will mean the loss of the pool, so your striped vdev should be in its own pool that you don’t mind losing.

It was clearer in the 360 days when the trigger was narrow. Now that it’s as wide as a bumper the distinction feels a bit dated. I still prefer the 360 triggers, they felt great for fine control.

Don’t worry, I put a lot more effort into finding alternatives and still landed here.

If they just wanted to follow the law, they could have left it at “don’t sell anything illegal” without all the extra “brand damage” nonsense.
