Yt-dlp is the way. J-Downloader is okay too if you need a good interface but dlp is just too damn powerful to not use

True but I didn’t want to get into the nitty gritty and just comment on the conservative “crime in the streets!!” fantasy

US too, crime has been dropping for decades but we apparently need a Gestapo force to go after criminal gangs

Wow, this is especially bad. Feel a bit of consolation from across the pond that ours isnt the only country completely caught in the AI scam (although it’s probably the worst offender)

Please at least have the decency of tagging me if youre going to talk about me to openly

Forced, secretive estrogenization of TI’s is a real thing

Yeah Im not going to normalize any part of these fucks.

Camus reference ♥️♥️

IME there are two wings to the “internet privacy” philosophy. On one side is strictly against advertising and other forms of privacy invasion that I’d call Private Intrusion, basically "I don’t want the highest corpo bidder reading my email contacts and knowing which coworker I wished happy birthday to. On the other side is the anti-Governmemt surveillance mindset, Government Intrusion. Pretty much what it sounds like.

Some people only care about one end. Most people have a stake in both, to one degree or another. IMO, I feel like more people care about corporate surveillance than government. Couple different ideas why, maybe some people still believe in a benevolent government, countering corps feels more feasible, and/or most people don’t feel like they have anything to hide, legally, but don’t love the advertisers’ mind games and want their wallet/freedom of choice respected.

Turned into a bit of a rant here and got a little off topic. All that’s to say, though, that I wouldn’t immediately fault someone who says they’re “Privacy-Minded” but still uses Proton dispite their Trump endorsement, it’s just a different set of priorities.

Seems like youre right, I must’ve got my headlines mixed up. Can’t find anything saying they donated but their CEO coming out immediately with praise is an awful thing regardless, IMO

■■■ Proton ■■■■■■■ donated gave praise ■■■■ to ■■■■ Trump.

I use the whole suite and pay for it ever year because theyre the best competitor to Google, but Proton isn’t one of the “good” ones and I wouldn’t trust them to contest a subpoena or install a backdoor, either

Dispite

Just get a used Filson off eBay. I’m not even sure why you would consider anything else

Oh no! OP’s feelings got hurt

Looking up “Trump Hands” is about to pull up some much different results once that video leaks if this is true

I would like to suggest that there was a cover-up about Trump fellating “Bubba” Bill Clinton while their buddy Jeffrey Epstein watched and photographed

Hi

I loved that stuff and the cheap TV thriller plot of James getting abducted by a femme fatale in a mansion then running away to Mexico. And Donna manipulating a horrible representation of a young man with autism who lives next door to a magical baby David Lynch. and Cooper’s evil ex-partner who was never mentioned before coming back as the villain for the last four episodes. Just pure craziness

Its been a while since I did a full watch through but doesnt the case get solved in the middle of S2? I remember really liking the later half of S2 when the conspiracy stuff and all the different plotlines really got underway but I know this isnt a popular opinion

All 3 seasons are great though, but man, those first couple of 1 are dense and put me to sleep for years every time I tried starting it. Eventually I just had to sit down at 10AM on a Sunday with a (damn fine) cup of coffee and force myself through them

Twin Peaks is great. The Return is phenomenal so definitely push through the first season of TP which can be a bit clunky
