YouTube’s attempts at blocking Adblockers are pathetic

I’ve long maintained that the majority of programmers working for Alphabet/Google/YouTube spent more time learning how to get the job than how to do the job well. There is a lot more to coding than “Cracking the Coding Interview.”

It’s not about building cool things over there. Is has not been that way for a long time. They just want the money and reputation.

Could he though? I don’t think he is that smart. He has smart people running his other companies, but he is running the show at twitter. I think this is us seeing him fail when left on his own.

I think he knows it is a money pit that will never be profitable so is intentionally trying to kill it. It will never make him money only cost him money. He can’t just shut it down without seriously damaging what credibility he has left. Seriously, what are his options to stop this ‘money leak?’

Because it’s FOSS. I’m sure there are other reasons but if I am putting my pirated stash somewhere I don’t want a proprietary program to have full access.

In my experience, Jellyfin is better than Plex in every single way.

Bitch, you’re the bad faith commentor here. I have no respect for what you are doing and who you are. Please kill yourself and make the world a slightly better place.

My reason for sharing that was to bring to light that they are commenting in bad faith. It’s not for them, it’s for other people reading.

Your not even American. Why so invested in this thread?

And why have you commented multiple times telling people to start shooting, while at the same time saying that we shouldn’t even talk about it?

I know. :)

I write that not for you but for other people to protect themselves from people like you.

I think it is a combination of bootlickers and a few cops. I don’t think it is to goad anyone into doing anything. They don’t want people to actually attack them. I think they are trying to get people to say certain things that would be criminal so they can arrest them before they attack.

So be careful with your words. Instead of saying “I am going to kill the baton rouge police chief,” say “I am going to effect change” or something along those lines.

At the same time watch for those that are trying to goad you into typing something they can take action on.

The hosts of fediverse instances DO NOT have the resources to fight government subpoenas over what you say.

Because we left. They were pretty weak until we left.

Vietnam on the other hand maintained the ability to inflict major casualties throughout.

I’m in agreement with you that poorly equipped groups can make an impact. I disagree that the goat herders in Afghanistan did.

Did they though? I don’t think so.

The Vietnamese people made a good effort and successfully repelled the US military.

Isn’t the military being woke a conservative talking point? If they are woke then they’re on our side. :)

You don’t know the limitation of military actions on US soil. The National Guard would be called the military is for foreign affairs.

I think there is some confusion. The context, as I understood it, was that “they” are conservatives and are not fighting the military. So I wanted to know who they were fighting.

By stopping the wrong doing that is causing real harm to people.

You can try to justify your lack of action all you want but I see you.

Nobody, other than you, said anything along the lines of “you go first.”

Ideas are being shared on how to combat injustice. That is doing something. Well it’s doing a hell of a lot more than “Cool. You first”
