Just two more weeks

I tried to use Pocket because of Mozilla’s relentless promotion, but I ended up finding it too clunky compared to regular bookmarks.

First question: You use

--download-sections "*00:00-10:00"

as an option to download the first 10 minutes. The asterisk means the numbers are treated as a timestamp instead of looking for a chapter with that title.

Second question I don’t know.

I always begin seeing weird shapes if I keep my eyes fixed somewhere. Doesn’t matter where it is, can be a white wall even. I don’t think it’s anything more than a quirk of how our eyes work.

As if someone took the concept of spaghetti code and applied it to an entire company.

I feel like a true meritocracy would be a system kind of like Plato’s republic where children are separated from their parents as early as possible and are all raised from the exact same level, so the only thing that sets them apart will be individual talent (their merit). If not this, then the wealth, status and connections of your family will influence your opportunities, which runs counter to meritocracy.

Safe to say it’s not a system I’d want to live in.

I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.

I won’t let you do this, the people deserve to know!

Omnipotence without knowing how to control it could very easily instantly annihilate you, whether physically or mentally through complete ego death.

it was enabled on my phone and it never asked me

Anything good?

Then all of them. They are human beings, not black holes of pure evil.

why does it need to be built in? What’s wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?

I’d assume that “related” suggestions would still work, unless Youtube decides to break them out of spite.

You can get that experience any time by going to Trending.

You could also pour milk in your boots.

Yes I’m a bit confused as well, how are they supposed to know what to recommend if they don’t know what you’ve been watching?

Sounds like they kept a watch history anyway but in secret, and turning it off just means that the user can’t see it anymore. Exactly like back when turning off location history on Google apps just meant you couldn’t see it anymore, but Google still collected and kept the info.

Yes, I do wish it had a longer memory. It feels like only the past few days of watching has any impact on suggestions, if you’ve neglected to watch videos about a certain topic for over a week it’s basically ancient history and never comes up again. I’d love to get a varied mix of things I’ve been interested in for the past 6 months or even longer.
