The claim is that some (not all) videos showing nonstandard Windows 11 installs have been taken down by YouTube. Are you refuting that?

The title is the claim: “YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs”

There isn’t a claim being made that all videos showing circumvention of the Microsoft account requirement for Windows 11 installation are being taken down. Only some of them. You saying “people will just believe anything that fits their worldview” sounds like you’re asserting that no takedowns are occurring. Thank you for clarifying that this is not actually your position.

The likelihood is that that this is being done automatically by youtube’s AI, rather than because of requests by Microsoft. I think the real problem illustrated here is the lack of transparency when Youtube issues a takedown. An initial glance at Youtube’s Community Guidelines doesn’t seem to indicate a criterion by which a takedown would be automatically issued for such content, but I wonder if they’re starting to automatically flag anything that might be considered circumvention guides. I had a private video taken down that I was sharing with a friend to show them how to use yt-dlp to extract audio from youtube videos and was given the same reason “harmful or dangerous content”, which it clearly was not, but they’re reluctant to explicitly say that they’re removing videos that illustrate circumvention techniques. Yet another reason to stop using Youtube.

The fact that some videos remain does not mean that some videos haven’t been removed

Put your phone on vibrate, etc…

Bash will also do autocomplete for cli programs that have autocomplete functionality. Try typing:

git r<tab><tab>

you’ll see options for all the git commands that start with r. Often cli commands will have autocompletion for long (double dash) options.

If you want to see all the commands that have auto complete available, look in:

/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/

There’s a few other locations they can live, notably:

/etc/bash_completion.d/ ~/.bash_completion ~/.local/share/bash-completion/completions/

I don’t know if there are more or if there is any variation per distro.

You can also write your own bash completions. They can get pretty smart and context sensitive.

Pretty good beginning tutorial:

edit - I should’ve mentioned that this isn’t native to bash, it requires installation of bash-completion. But bash-completion is installed by default in many distros.

I’d really like independent workspaces per display. I haven’t explored how to set it up in my current environments (I use primarily KDE, sometimes Gnome, and still occasionally XFCE). I’m not sure it’s even possible. I understand there’s quite a bit of customization of workspaces coming with Cosmic, but I haven’t checked it out.

I do have some resistance to tiling window managers. Primarily because my wife occasionally uses my computer, and I can already see her rolling her eyes in frustration at me. How’s the learning curve for awesome?

They did indicate that the subnet they provided in the example was not the actual one they used.

You keep saying I don’t remember, which feels a bit dismissive. I do remember. We just have differing opinions on the barriers to entry for Microsoft vs. FOSS in the 90s.

Fair enough, but Linux was quite difficult for a normal user to install back in the 90’s. And you could literally destroy your monitor if you didn’t know what you were doing. I was responding to the notion that using FOSS was somehow easier to get into in the 90s than Microsoft products.

Remember when alfalfa sprouts were on all the things? I miss alfalfa sprouts…

Maybe true today, but less true in earlier times (90s and early 2000s) when Microsoft was really gaining dominance.

I may frame this. Poetry.

Your library may also have streaming services like Kanopy and Hoopla

It’s GPLv3-licensed and they have some pretty easy documented steps for self hosting. Their github page is linked in the article.The per-user cost is for a hosted solution. Which isn’t to say they’re not going to pull something shitty in the future.

Not working for me on multiple sites. I don’t get this tip.

Does this actually work? I just tried it on a story on The Atlantic website and I just got a print page that looks exactly like the locked paywall page (i.e. not the whole article).

I use the web archives extension for firefox to easily get the archive.is version of pages. Unfortunately, doesn’t work when I’m using a vpn, but otherwise works like a charm.

EDIT: I found this comment on the previous thread:

https://lemmy.world/comment/13080227

“The idea is you quickly press print before the paywall loads, so you can read the full article”

That may work in some cases, but not all. Because not all paywall pages behave in a way where this is functional. The Atlantic is an example, it produces a partial page if you’re not past the paywall, so ctrl-p doesn’t work. The web archives extension still works though (I use it to easily access archive.is) and the extension is available on mobile firefox as well.

I have also used 12 foot ladder in the past, and it works well. In fact, testing it now, it seems to even work when I’m using Proton VPN. archive.is does not work for me through the vpn, so I may switch back to 12ft.io. 12ft.io just has you append the paywalled url to their url, so it should be easy enough to make a bookmarklet.

Have you looked at netdata? It’s super easy to be up and running quickly.

Keep a stock message on your phone to cut and paste whenever an iPhone user sends you a potato-quality video. This is mine:

Please don’t send video to me via iMessage from your iPhone. In fact, you really shouldn’t send video via iMessage at all. Video sent by Apple looks terrible on non-iOS phones. This is not a shortcoming of other phones, this is entirely Apple’s fault and is their explicit intention. If you want to send a video from your iPhone, you can open the Photos app, tap the share button, and select “share as an iCloud link”. That will enable All users to view your glorious video of your cat/kids/dinner/vacation/rant/whatever in the high resolution that your overpriced phone is capable of. Another option is to send the video using a messaging app such as Signal or WhatsApp. Alternate messaging apps are what most of the world use in lieu of sms/mms text messaging.

This is a form letter response and you will get it every time you send me video from your iPhone via iMessage.

P.S. I love you
