I never had that but what I did notice was that embedded videos now won’t play in Firefox (says something like “content isn’t available”). Can’t even click on anything to bring you to the actual YouTube page, I either end up not watching or having to search for the title…

He knew then and there are you listen to him blabber on for an hour without interrupting him, you were the right fit the job (the job being to listen to him blabber on on a daily basis).

You can see the blonde in the red jacket saying “that’s true”.

Yes.

That’s easier said than done btw, like yeah stockpiling some long lasting cans of food is easy and even if you forget them they’ll probably still be ok to eat but really what you want is to rotate that pantry so it has somewhat fresh stuff at all times. You also need water, which really is the Biggie here if the tap stops working. Of course also stuff for cooking/heating up if you have no gas or electricity into the house.

It’s much better here without an algorithm, but on the other hand the user base feels pretty ruthless where the blandest opinions net you down votes and angry replies. I only feel safe with jokes and factoids. I think I’m slowly reaching the point where I’ll either stop using any online platforms altogether or just 100% lurk.

If only that last one was true.

I honestly wouldn’t lump all of YouTube in the same bag. At the end of the day it’s currently one of the only viable platforms for video-based essays and I personally find a ton of valuable stuff there. That said, one miss-step and your algorithm fills up with the influencer crap, so you gotta tread carefully.

He could harvest it more slowly over time, we regenerate it. Hell he might already have that ready to go in the fridge.

I agree when it comes to pirate websites and other shady stuff but I think those guys are a “legitimate” business, even if disgusting, and if France bans them from operating on the territory and they knowingly enable french people to use the site, could still be trouble. I have no idea how they function but I’d be surprised if they don’t even make you ID yourself on there similar to a trading app?..

Accessing the site is one thing but what about transferring money to/from?

I used to be able to just start a “smooth jazz” or “lo-fi” playlist and the algorithm would do its thing, but now I need to specifically look for “classics” or some such otherwise the slop shows up. I’ve not yet had this issue with the rest of my musical landscape though as that does default to real bands, but these “background” styles are definitely affected.

In France it is required by law that any café/restaurant provide you with free water when you ask. They don’t have to allow you to sit down and occupy a table if you’re not purchasing anything but they have to give you water.

Didn’t even have to type it out you took care of it already.

You look so happy!

It’s not, and the same rules apply to those.

I work in the field, in Europe, and can confirm this is about right. There are also situations where you start needing permits to film, either because it’s private property or even public property if you start having to put down a lot of equipment and crew.

Same, trying to ride that line between becoming a brain dead AI-zombie and a luddite…

The side of the road thing is just the right amount of petty lmao.

Sounds promising but I can’t help but think football fans just aren’t gonna give a fuck or even be aware of why they should avoid the US…
