Can't relate, just upgraded my laptop from 32GB to 64GB since VScode would keep closing due to OOM. What? Oh, no, it's not vscode's fault.....I keep like 5 Firefox windows with 30+ tabs open, like a fucking maniac..... Close them? What do you mean "close" them?

If one gallon is 3.785 liters, then one gallon is less than 4 liters. So, 4 liters should've been the answer.

I mean I've been a pirate for a WHILE and you generally do see ads on opensubtitles subs. Generally it's opensubtitles saying you can advertise with them, or credits for subtitles that stay on the screen for way too long, but this has been a thing forever now, I don't recall a time when this wasn't done.

I don't think I can take the moral high ground on it seeing as...well, I am a pirate lol. We out here doing our best to stay afloat, opensubtitles included.

It's a matter of who gets tired quicker at this point, YouTube, ublock maintainers, or users. We're on the losing side, and alternative front ends sound like the "we're cornered" solution. I imagine Google won't take long to break them as well.

Joke's on them, now it's easier to get high quality pirated content since it's all on streaming services. A bunch more pirates compete on encoding quality and the best win, giving you more options, better qualities, and faster releases with high seed counts. As a bonus, most subtitles work for different releases since they're all from the same source. Between that, storage space costs going all the way down, and all the corporate greed leading to N streaming services with expensive subscription costs, it's the Plex/Jellyfin golden era. I'm currently serving about 40 friends and family with my Plex/*arr setup, and I'm about to add Tdarr to the mix to move everything over to HEVC and save up some disk space.

God, I hate everything. Type C was meant to make everything easier, not fuck us over with non-standardized proprietary versions from every fucking manufacturer.

Other people on the thread have commented that it's actually due to Firefox not implementing WebUSB due to security concerns, so it is technically a valid message, but for the wrong reasons. Why the hell does this need to be a web app?

Oh it does. Neolibs looooove privatization. I'm from Honduras, where the modus operandi is to drive public entities to the ground from the inside in order to justify privatization, and then just pretend it's doing its job while corpos and politicians line their pockets. We're currently under a leftist government, and one of the first steps it took was to retake control of the energy sector, since it got privatized and sold to a Colombian company, a stunt that ended up in millions in debt and led to a mud fight between the private company and the government, which resulted in, among all the lawsuits back and forth, constant country-wide blackouts during a few months this year. It's the first leftist government in over a decade, and it's admittedly not doing great (we really don't have our shit together), but people here tend to forget we were sold a capitalist dystopia dressed up as a utopia, by a druglord-president that's currently holed up in NY over drug and arms trafficking charges.

Well from some quick reading online, it's not for downloading drivers. It's literally an internet service Logitech is forcing its users to use in order to connect their peripherals, it's insane.

I just did a search just like OP said and while it's true that most results are just outdated scraped content where my posts and comments have been deleted, I did find one just now that doesn't appear on my account overview, but that I could see, edit, and delete on the reddit thread itself.

Its a commonly floated idea among my circles, and by me personally, that we kinda just want to fuck off and build a comfy commune somewhere not too hot, not too cold, just away from cities, and try to be as self-sufficient as possible. Just a small group of friends and family. It's kinda what I'm saving up for, if I'm honest, because buying a city house is just.... Prohibitively expensive for what it is.

Yeah honestly it's pretty appealing of an idea to go back just to make a mess on the canvas or send a coordinated message, but - and I know most won't do this - the best strategy is to just...not engage. Avoid participating, avoid going to check the canvas or the site... just pretend it isn't happening.

Sadly, it's pretty much a fact that this will bring back tons of traffic, even if the event itself results in popcorn-worthy drama. Spez seems to be subscribed to the notion that any kind of publicity is good publicity, and it might just work out for him and his IPO.

At this point, the best that we can do is just care for our mental health and let things be. It's what I plan on doing, and I can't put "sticking it to reddit" as a priority while doing so, it's for me and for me alone.
