They're paying people to apologize for not voting last time. What that means is up for the reader. Not the same.

And some copyrighted shit from Dolby. Granted, header files only.

At first I was... wow, no shit! Open source Winamp!

But then I went through the Github issues (because, 6 hours since first commit and already 5 issues open?). As someone else put it, "This has got to be the most embarrassing open-sourcing i've seen to date.". The licensing is a mess, the coverup is a dumpster fire. By tomorrow this is going to be as viral as Twitter's "open sourcing" of its recommendation algorithm they did last year. Not sure if I should make coffee or popcorn in the morning.

Those share buttons are trackers themselves. So it's not about "supporting" those websites by publishing content to them, it's about undermining the privacy of your readers and doing the opposite of what you preach, and "supporting" those websites by feeding them much more valuable user data. As another comment said, just put a button to copy the permalink and let them paste themselves if they want to share.

As for you sharing a link on the mainstream social media platforms yourself, I'd actually encourage that. Cory Doctorow auto-publishes links (not content) to his articles on as many social media platforms as he can (sorry, can't find the article in which he describes it). The point is that he still retains control over his content by hosting it himself, he controls the (lack of) trackers and ads, and gaining traffic from these platforms is still to his and his potential readers benefit. Bending your rules a little to reach more people and maybe even convert them to be more privacy-aware is fine.

Easy. The Wall! The Roger Waters 2010-2013 tour, not the Berlin one, lol

The amount of emoticons makes it feel like reading some shitty QAnon post shared on Facebook.

Note that this is an article from 2 years ago. It was also posted in News, but at least it had a link to the source.

 

Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I'm old, but I don't get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

 

I've learned of Yumi Matsutoya (松任谷由実) / Yumi Arai by real name from the anime The Wind Rises (Kaze Tachinu).

I don't normally watch anime, but big studios like Gibli and directors like Hayao Miyazaki are the exception. A few songs from Yumi made to my playlist since then.

 

Given that

  • there is no auto-preview / download of youtube thumbnails for posts
  • the post URL must be the youtube link; uploading an image replaces the URL with the one if the image, so no bueno

What is the format to embed the thumbnail of the youtube video (downloaded manually) in the body of the post and also link it to the video itself?

The reason I'd like to include a preview is that I find it hard to find and click the external link for a post. Sometimes I don't even realize it's a post with a link (both in the listing or after opening the post) - Reddit apps (at least in the 3rd party Slide app that I used) made it clear what type of post it was by clearly specifying Video / Image / Link / Self.text etc

I highly recommend Ben Eater's channel. He's a good teacher, took his time and dedicated months to build quality content in video format, which is a rarity on Youtube these days.
