I mean he is right, I feel like this decision spits in the face of the spirit of the Debian social contract but whatever I guess… Considering Debian’s position and how many projects rely on it I understand why the decision has been reached but that tells me it is thinking of itself as a business and not a community first.

Good news

I have a deep respect for the Wikimedia Foundation but this looks like a pattern of behaviour form them. are there any alternatives worth looking into?

This is just how root certificates work no? The assumption that the Russians will abuse this is just as valid for any US company, given what we know form the Snowden leaks.

Not a stupid question. It does not look like at the moment, wouldn’t say it’s impossible though. As we progress with better and better technology I personally think it is an inevitability.

There a plenty of science fiction books and shows that focus on this.

True true, just pointing it out as I thought it was more recent.

LOOOL

Thought the format looked familiar! Good old Onion 😂

Should not have laughed so much 😳

I mean. This isn’t the clearest meme is it? Lol

Agreed it’s important to seperate. It is hard explaining to people though, they still just call it AI in general

Its real!

Not exactly sure what the end goal is. To get YouTube content but not pay? YouTube is free at the point of use. There are great adblockers like ublock Origin and SponsorBlock that can be used on mobile (android) devices and web browsers to rid yourself of ads.

There are resources available to download YouTube videos and save a ‘local copy’ like yt-dl. This is only practical for selected videos. For education purposes of course.

The main issue is that there is a huge volume of YouTube content though. Like 8 hours per second. That becomes prohibitively expensive and impractical.

Not that I am suggesting you use these tools :)

There are alternatives like peer tube that is decentralised, some leftist creaters are on meanstv.

EDIT: spelling and clarifying

all good now, I think it was a syntax issue on my part. I could connect fine before making the changes but after checking the spaces for the YAML file its all working now

Thank you, I think it did not like the syntax I had when uncommenting all working now :)

I wonder why so many are putting their lives at risk to make this crossing. cannot think of any reason for the life of me

Got board and stated reading the controversial comments. The mental gymnastics here are just… so much defensiveness for something that was clear at the time. Even back then.

Thanks, will take a look a my setup
