Yeah, a new messaging app is definitely a hard sell for me if it’s data/wifi only. I have Discord for unimportant internet conversations that can wait for me to burn data and texting for important things like work because I get unlimited texts. Having a separate app for a couple of people would be annoying.

You are correct that it’s 160kbps, I spoke a bit too vaguely as most of them are listed between ~95-130 by my music software instead of the peak of 160. I still maintain that YT Premium are “good enough” and not “high quality”, but that’s a highly subjective statement. The point remains though that you cannot get that 256kbps without paying.

Adultarr?

I use bath towels for two times, three if I can’t be bothered.

Best you get from YouTube is 128kbps (ish, it’s VBR) without paying or 256kbps with Premium. I would consider high quality to start at 320kbps minimum.

It does have a Roku app, but it’s very limited in features and barely developed. It will probably work if all your files are x264 in your native language, however it doesn’t work for my use case. I tried playing some anime encoded with x265 and it was unwatchable for me because:

A. The TV could not handle the decode and there is no (sensible) way to force server x264 transcoding for just the TV, and:

B. Selecting subtitles and audio tracks is painful and sometimes impossible. I tried changing my Jellyfin settings, my Roku settings, using the selectors on the episodes, even setting the default tracks in the video files. Nothing worked to have dual audio or dual subtitle files play the correct tracks.

I can’t speak for any other ecosystems, only Roku.

As a dedicated Jellyfin user, 100% agree. I love it, but glitches where it loses my seek progress and requires restarting the video, or the terrible subtitle support on Roku, or the often lackluster library management (they improve it slowly though!), and more I’m sure, these all make it much harder to recommend.

I think Telltale and those like it would be even worse examples than God Of War and etcetera. These games add a new dimension to the experience by providing ways for the viewer/player to influence the story. The only thing I could conflate it with would be CYOA books, which obviously are a conpletely different medium.

… which are not technical elements, but writing, thus the question stands.

While this is an important thing to understand about AI, it’s an overstated issue once understood. For most questions I ask AI, it doesn’t matter if it’s correct as long as it pulls some half useful info to get me on track (i.e programming). For other questions, I only ask it if I need to figure out where to look next, which it will usually do just fine.

The first page of my search results is all AI generated garbage articles anyway, at least I know what I am getting with GPT and can take it as such.

Keyword searches worked fine and pulled up exactly what I wanted for years, I swear to god. Somewhere in the last decade though websites have gamed the system and now I can’t find anything no matter how I word my search. It’s depressing.

Google is worse, but so is Bing. I switched for about 6 months this year and honestly it wasn’t any better. I end up asking ChatGPT for more niche things because neither Google or Bing can pull up any good results anymore without “Reddit” tacked on. As for why I didn’t use Bing’s GPT integration, it was a mix of being forced to use Edge and the responses being much less useful than OpenAI’s GPT model.

You have the freedom as long as it stays niche. Having no protections against such practices means they have a chance of becoming so commonplace as to be unavoidable.

Not related to the video, sorry, but when sharing links in the future you should strip out unnecessary bits from the URL. This link includes &list=WL&index=1 which means when I open it my Watch Later list is opened alongside it, which is undesired. If you can’t identify what parts to cut out, the easiest way is to use the Share button on the website itself, although this unfortunately can include trackers in the URL. A clean YouTube URL would be a simple watch link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ap1JDDnQIA8.

In what world did I blame the child? If a kid climbs on a dresser while unattended and the dresser crushes them, you blame the parent, not the dresser.

And since I probably have to spell it out, a rapist would be the equivalent of someone pushing the dresser onto the child, so obviously you would blame the person. But in this hypothetical, Omegle is an inanimate piece of furniture. Any piece of furniture would suffice, the problem is the lack of parental presence and the person crushing the child.

If your child has access to a stream of cocks that is a failure of the parents and not Omegle. You know Pornhub exists? Typing “dick” into Google is a thing?

The links to the Fair Use policy are broken. They use an underscore instead of a dash, which is giving me a 404 on mobile.

I’m sure newer cars are much better at it, but 150 is already scary enough in my 2012 model. It doesn’t handle bumps well at 130, I don’t want to test fate.
