I’ve been slowly working on it for the last year or so. It’s gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.

At work we get around this by not having docker or anything similar set up in the first place.

I’m getting tired of it lol

Canceling out only a tiny bit puts you on an orbit similar to earth’s. You need to kill basically all of your momentum.

I knew something was up. We’re onto you /u/fossilesque

One thing to note, actually cooking something requires an application of heat over time. Instantaneous heat transfer will not cook, it will usually just burn.

Some people say you can use a nuke to cook a pizza if you put it in the right spot, but the same problem would apply.

Related, some guy did actually slap a chicken into being cooked. It was predictably disgusting:

Not sure, but other alternatives do embrace it. I use FreeTube, and it has a built in function to use DeArrow. I’m loving it so far.

Oh I know, I’m right there with you. But I get a level of entertainment out of it.

I don’t think the people who are supporters of jury nullification are saying such laws are fine.

I disagree. Laws aren’t always moral. Texas could outlaw donations to the Rainbow Railroad and it would be wrong, the organization should still exist.

But in this case it is pretty clear that the plagiarism machine is in fact, bad and should not exist, at least not in it’s current form.

They didn’t mention personal stuff

I can’t say I’m familiar with that particular event. But I’m guessing there is a difference there in that iMessage is well, a messaging service. YouTube isn’t, their videos are on public webpages.

All Freetube and company needs to do, if it comes to it, is find a way extract a video from a public webpage. There’s a million ways to do that.

iMessage is not a public webpage, and so there is no real way around it unless you go through their api.

Youtube/google/alphabet are almost certainly aware it exists already. The only real risk is too many people switching to it.

But even then there isn’t much they can do to stop it’s use. They can’t tighten up or remove their api, but then page scraping will take over. They can obfuscation their page, but that will not work forever.

It’s a cat and mouse game that is impossible to win for them.

Even so, having more software natively supported will always be a good thing. Half the reason why people drag their feet on switching to Linux is because of the lack of support for their favorite software.

A constitutional republic is not mutually exclusive with democracy.

This is like saying “it isn’t a car, it’s a vehicle”. No shit it is a vehicle, but the type of vehicle is “car”.

Is your computer networked? If so, that’s a bad idea

That’s how I feel too. If it were to die, it gives more room for things like peertube to grow from its ashes.

I’ll need some sources on that one.

I’m speaking from past experience here. I’ve had conversations with right wingers where I’ve brought up NASA articles about how one of their satellites is tracking climate change. And often times it’s met with “well that’s just want the government wants you to think”, or "that’s from NASA and therefore it’s propaganda.

On a more personal level, my mother is a lunatic anti-vaxer. She treats the CDC and FDA like they’re straight out of 1984. She always either ignores shit from the CDC/FDA, tries to establish them as liars/frauds, etc.

I don’t exactly go around saving screenshots of conversations with right wingers, nor do I record arguments with my mother. And none of this lends itself to being easy to track on a search engine (esp given how shitty they are nowadays. That brings us full circle lol).

So take my word for it or don’t, I don’t care.

Then this conversation is pointless if you won’t acknowledge the risk of it

There is risk associated with everything. You can’t have public policy without risk. You can’t have a president without risk. You can’t have a government agency without risk. So what’s your point?

None of those things are direct propaganda tools.

To you they aren’t, but to the right wing they are.

The second they start having to put maga posters into you mailbox and nobody else’s you’ll see it differently.

We are already at risk of that. I don’t see what your point is.

is that you want to talk about removing capitalism.

I’m all for removing capitalism, but that’s not really my aim in this discussion. I was more interested in the difficulty/value of nationalizing something like a search engine.

and its parameters you won’t admit how bad nationalising a search engine is without other privately owned alternatives.

Given the popularity and successes of NASA, the USPS, NOAA, etc, I think you are being overly pessimistic.
