I suppose you already tried ffmpeg?

use gnash and a screen recorder

The webp community has forgiven leftypol dot org.

Is there a simple solution to have a parallel /leftydeutschpol/ thread on the site, but translated to english?

Someone help, Youtube Redux can't adjust this garbage new layout.

Reposting this because it's semi-relevant

>>24431
You tried annas archive?

>>24449
Skimmed through it, seems like a good article, bump for other opinions.

How the fuck do I validate the checksum of GOG games that are native to Linux? Their list of checksums seems to be only for Windows binaries.

Correction venus.chub.ai

Which one of you fucks made this cursed shit lmao.

gem

Found this detailed lorebook named New Adler where the USSR basically won the space race, continuing to build on their achievements, while America became less relevant and more isolationist on the world stage after the failure of their Apollo 11 mission and the ramifications that ensued because of it. I won't delve much into it and would recommend others to read it for themselves, The only thing I would add is that the main focus of the lorebook is of a planet named New Adler that the Soviets found which supports human life and the weird effect it has on the human psyche on those living there.

There were a couple characters that were made with this lorebook in mind.

America-Hatin' Soviet-Lovin' Domme Cuban Woman

Female Iraqi Scientist that slowly becomes psychotic due to Adlerian Syndrome.

don't Google and AT&T already give the government all their data? but sure things can always be worse

I'd like to believe all those dozens if not hundreds eyes overseeing the kernel over the decades checking for clean and proper code would prevent any backdoor from making it to upstream.
Also this is why you don't update your system all the time.

>>24427
It's like a huge Mexican standoff among glowies, each trying to get in their own backdoors while keeping the others away.

i feel like this is irrelevant considering backdoors are baked in at a hardware level in most consumer products

>>24456
You mean inside CPUs? Yeah, I read this claim already on 4chan, but I'm not sure how real this actually is.

>>24427
>Also this is why you don't update your system all the time.
I'm considering moving to Void which uses a "stable rolling-release" model.

>>24454
Thanks, I will check it out and come back here with my progress.

Honestly LYAH is not bad but it's very limited. I learned the basics on my own and then the book was kinda moot. It's a fun language for sure, but I'm a Scala evangelist now.

I tried it a bit during uni on the side, I gave up after typeclasses, but I still use Haskell notation to reason about type or processes sometimes. Very interesting language, but I have no idea what to do with it.

>>24466
It’s an algorithms prototyping language limited by performance, otherwise it’d be dominant (cuz 2x Rust isn’t good enough).

Web apps are reasonably mature, and being able to functionally manipulate DOM is quite nice. There’s also adequate GUI apps in Monomer, and fast games terminals up right now.

You don’t need to go past a single monad transformer layer for most uses, and effect systems have replaced deep stacked monad trans.

We also finally have GHCJS and WASM backends, although those are new and not really mature.

We need money to jazz up GHC, unfortunately.

Haskell is bretty cool, despite all the memeing it gets I think monads for structuring programs are an excellent innovation and seem like a great example of the "stop and think about how to really do this correctly" approach winning out versus the "just git 'er dun" style.

Typeclasses are nice in the small (Eq, Ord, etc) but there is an annoying tendency of Haskellers to abuse them to write ostensibly modular code where something like OCaml's modules would be more appropriate. The same Haskellers also want to pack more and more fancy types into Haskell even though fundamentally Haskell is not dependently typed and never will be. Why not leave dependent types to actual dependently-typed languages?

The community also cannot seem to decide if they want industrial buy-in or if they want to stay a "weird" language

Capitalism.

well netflix will recommend them some hecking lefty content for them to entertain themselves, i say it's a good deal for everyone involved as far as i can see

And people wonder why opsec is important.

Way waaaay more egregious is this story. Facebook should have been shut down at this point and Zuckerberg should be in jail for cybercrimes at least, if not other crimes. It is absolutely baffling how bad this is.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/
In 2016, Facebook launched a secret project designed to intercept and decrypt the network traffic between people using Snapchat’s app and its servers. The goal was to understand users’ behavior and help Facebook compete with Snapchat, according to newly unsealed court documents. Facebook called this “Project Ghostbusters,” in a clear reference to Snapchat’s ghost-like logo.

On Tuesday, a federal court in California released new documents discovered as part of the class action lawsuit between consumers and Meta, Facebook’s parent company.

The newly released documents reveal how Meta tried to gain a competitive advantage over its competitors, including Snapchat and later Amazon and YouTube, by analyzing the network traffic of how its users were interacting with Meta’s competitors. Given these apps’ use of encryption, Facebook needed to develop special technology to get around it.

>There's already a couple different "internets" available for you to login to right now. Everyone just needs motivation to start using them more
You motivate them by offering what the legacy Internet wants to sanitize. At the bare minimum that means flouting the law. I'm talking about small things like in the early days of youtube: I remember some jailbait teenager mooned the camera as a "fuck you" to some other youtuber, and the video actually stayed up. The point was no one gave a fuck. Or do what the pirate bay used to do and openly mock the cease & desist emails they got. We need to go back to that mentality.
But we really need to build organized criminal networks of individuals who talk directly to each other and can't get taken out by the seizure of a particular platform. They have to be "honest" criminals like a drug dealer is "honest": you pay him money, he gives you drugs. No scammers like hitmen-for-hire, they just drive people away.

So it seems Youtube is increasing it's pressure against Invidious and third party apps. What do you think, is this the end of adfree Youtube? What will you do?

>>24479
Invidious isn't particularly threatened by this round but you should still donate.
>Is it over?
It's Youtube. It never began.

>>23848
it won't happen, at least not by force. that's an outmoded means of social control
you're already living after the internet in the era of the big, centralised tech company. 4chan is a rounding error (not to mention probably a honeypot) and /leftypol/ is even less important than that.
the only major things that're going to change over the coming years is that search will get worse and AI generated gibberish pages will push down the signal-noise ratio when you're looking for actual information.

the fear of the jackbooted facist coming to take your 4chan away is a fundamentally outdated understanding of social control. no "rebel" sites pose an actual threat to the state and most "rebel" content is stuff the state is perfectly content with like people saying the n-word and pornography. even for stuff that the state doesn't like: piracy, cp, leaks, etc, the optimum level of those undesirable sites is not zero: if online piracy were impossible then offline piracy, which is harder to track, would explode. you want it to be inconvenient so people give up and buy the thing, but not so difficult they buy it out of the back of a truck on a microSD card. you want just enough CP that you can keep up a steady process of arresting those involved in creating, distributing, and posessing it. again: much easier when they're using an FBI server than when they're buying polaroids from a truck. even leaks: you want there to be a central place for leaks, even if every so often someone leaks your government's documents, because people will also leak other government's documents. furthermore they can be used for disinfo - "this site is trustworthy, it leaked US-document-X, therefore it must not have an agenda when leaking Iranian-document-Y."

"free to consume in your personal life but impotent when it comes to changing social conditions" is the condition of the average person today. we no longer live in an age where a capitalist regime needs to ban Marx for fear people will believe in him - forget that: now you can securely sell Marx to what is, more often than not, the mere Communist fandom.
