Sounds like a magnetic variant of eink displays. Very cool!

He did say ‘many’ not ‘all’ and that he, personally supported him, so no lie then showed that he supports him with the selfie. The reactions show why his third sentence was said (the one where he states that he and others were afraid to admit their support). It is very possible that I don’t understand where the lie is, though. I’m very tired. I’ve always found politics in that country strange, so I think I may be missing something. Without getting into why someone should or shouldn’t support one or the other, can someone explain where the lie is?

Is sticker robot not as cheap?

I had a friend who did that.

Had.

Kolanak going in for the kill.

Sorry. But that’s not cat dog.

This is…

That’s fair. It’s more of when google breaks YouTube for the custom apps, that people start to get all pissy lol

I thought about doing this, but didn’t want to essentially be their maintainer. I do that enough at work lol

No way! That’s awesome! Someone else here suggested something like this, but I didn’t realize it was for all cartridges. Very cool!

Not sure about USBC, but it was in their lightning cables.

It’s not farfetched that they would also add it to their “certified USBC”.

Edit: apple isn’t hiding this program, either. Nor should they. It has merit. But it can be abused, as it was with certified lighting cables.

If only.

Now, I don’t know if it’s in USBC cables, but it was in their lightning cables.

Edit: also, I think it’s funny that you assumed I was angry/mad about this hahahahaha I’m really not. I no longer buy apple, so it really doesn’t affect me. And if I did buy apple, I don’t think I would care that much, as when I did buy apple, I bought certified add-ons. I was simply pointing out the gap in the passed regulation. It seems that you’re more upset about this than I am. Sorry my comment affected you this way–it was not my intention.

Not if when they add a chip in the official Apple cable that the iPhone/iPad/iwhatever checks for, and refuses to properly charge or transfer data without it. At this point, a generic USBC will only work for a short time, before the device rejects it, forcing you to bin it and buy a new one, which negates the benefits of the regulation. Regulations do work, but they have to be thorough, and this one isn’t covering all the corners.

Edit: changes when to if. It was causing confusion as to what I meant.

Thank you for this!

I actually use a Zebra F-301 ballpoint, and it’s great for its price. Do the converter kits work with this pen? Although, I’m not sure it’ll be worth it, since the kits seem to cost more than the pen haha

I’m going to change the Must-Have to Really-Like-To-Haves lol I see I was being very wishy with them. I don’t mind saving up and getting a more ‘long term’ pen that’s reasonably priced to be a daily driver. I don’t like dailying pens that would break me if they get lost or stolen. I travel for work, and have lost so many cheap pens over the years, and more than a few nice pens. The only one that truly caused me grief was one my grand gifted me.

I also fully expect to buy more than one pen and alternate dailies. But, that’s problem for a future me to solve haha

You made it into a choose your own adventure template hahahahaha

BonziBuddy! He was the best! Almost as good as the dancing baby.

And in case anyone is wondering…

I agree completely. It’s actually why I went with NewPipe as a recommendation to family and friends. After a few months using it, I really didn’t miss the original YouTube app, and it has become, when combined with the ease of installation, my go-to recommendation for Android users who want to block ads and be able to play audio in the background with the screen off. All of these solutions have the potential to temporarily break as google (needlessly, imo) fights them. The FOSS solutions fix is to apply the update, where as revanced is to re-revance the YouTube app (not so simple).

And as for your calm and pleasant comment, I try to always be : ) we’re (mostly) all here to have a conversation (at least, I treat everyone as though they are, until they show me otherwise lol). So, thank you : )

Hahahahaha!! Good catch! Fixing now

I don’t disagree with this point. Calling them objectively better however, is not covering the whole story imo. They are objectively better if your goal is to deproprietarize (not a real word) as much as possible. But if your goal is to just block ads as seamlessly as possible while still keeping all other features in YouTube, then those FOSS apps drop to subjectively better.

I appreciate your viewpoint, as it’s a part of what makes the software development community so great. I don’t necessarily agree with it, personally, since they all rely on proprietary backend (YouTube), but I truly do appreciate it.

Imagine watching YouTube. Your kid, spouse, grandparent, whatever falls and gets badly hurt. You pause the video (out of habit, instead of shutting off the TV) to tend to them. You toss the remote as you rush off the couch, the remote is lost. Instead of silence so you can hear whether they’re breathing and be able to hear and talk to the emergency services dispatcher, you hear an unskippable ad. They perish, because the dispatcher couldn’t hear you and get the ambulance truck to your door in time.

Imagine watching YouTube. You’re alone in your house. You hear something at the window behind you. You pause the video, since it’s probably nothing, to listen more intently. Instead of silence to allow you hear the burglar, you hear an ad for something you would never buy, as the burglar breaks into your house and attacks you for that sweet, sweet PS5. You perish, because you couldn’t react in time.

Edge cases? Maybe. Possible? Yes. Will YouTube/google be charged with accessory to murder? I highly doubt that.

Pause ads are a very bad, and very dangerous, idea.
