But isn’t minmaxing the fun out of your game to chase the 1% damage increase exactly what RPGs are about?


Don’t eat the liver tho. Polar bear liver contains so much vitamin A that it is toxic for humans.


Raise cattle and still be vegetarian for maximum efficiency!


It was XFire -> TS -> Vent -> Skype -> Discord for me.


Guilty until proven innocent.


So calling minorities “vermin” and making up shit about immigrants eating the pets of US citizens is a “tiny transgression”? No, that is text book nazi propaganda fueled by hate and endorsed by idiots.


Our license plates look like this: 2/3-letter city identifier - 1/2 letters you can choose - a 1-4 digit number you can choose. A friend of mine has the initials A.H. and was born in 1988. He wanted CITY - AH - 88. Registration did not allow it as it’s nazi dog whistling.
Dog whistling is very common to find like-minded fascists and nazis. Kind of a sad, pathetic life if you think about it.


I wrote myself a Chrome add-on that adds a context menu entry to play or download links.
chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(() => {
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "processLink",
title: "Download as...",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "720p",
parentId: "processLink",
title: "720p",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "music",
parentId: "processLink",
title: "MP3",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "maxQual",
parentId: "processLink",
title: "Maximum quality video",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "separator1",
parentId: "processLink",
type: "separator",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "piQual",
parentId: "processLink",
title: "30 fps for RPi",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "separator2",
parentId: "processLink",
type: "separator",
contexts: ["link"]
});
chrome.contextMenus.create({
id: "streamLink",
parentId: "processLink",
title: "Stream to VLC...",
contexts: ["link"]
});
});
chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener((info, tab) => {
let linkUrl = info.linkUrl;
if (info.menuItemId === "720p") {
sendLinkToNativeApp(linkUrl, "video720");
} else if (info.menuItemId === "music") {
sendLinkToNativeApp(linkUrl, "music");
} else if (info.menuItemId === "maxQual") {
sendLinkToNativeApp(linkUrl, "videomp4");
} else if (info.menuItemId === "piQual") {
sendLinkToNativeApp(linkUrl, "video720p30");
} else if (info.menuItemId === "streamLink") {
sendLinkToNativeApp(linkUrl, "stream");
}
});
function sendLinkToNativeApp(link, action) {
console.log("Sending link to native app with action:", action, link);
chrome.runtime.sendNativeMessage(
'com.example.ytlink_processor',
{ link: link, action: action },
function(response) {
if (chrome.runtime.lastError) {
console.error("Error:", chrome.runtime.lastError.message);
} else {
console.log("Received response from native app:", response.output);
}
}
);
}

sys.exit(0)
message_length = struct.unpack('I', raw_length)[0]
message = sys.stdin.read(message_length)
return json.loads(message)
def send_message(message_content):
message = json.dumps(message_content)
sys.stdout.write(struct.pack('I', len(message)))
sys.stdout.write(message)
sys.stdout.flush()
def process_link(link, action):
if action == "stream":
cmd = 'yt-dlp --stream "{}" -o - | "D:/Programme/VLC/vlc.exe" -'.format(link)
else:
cmd = 'yt-dlp --{} "{}"'.format(action, link)
result = subprocess.Popen('start cmd /c "{}"'.format(cmd), shell=True)
return result.stdout + result.stderr
if __name__ == "__main__":
message = get_message()
link = message.get("link")
action = message.get("action")
if link and action:
output = process_link(link, action)
send_message({"output": output})
The actions are just aliases for different qualities (old pi, so 720p60 stutters at times), audio extraction, etc.


Awesome, works with VLC as well. Thanks.


Downside is that you’ll have to regularly delete all the videos you’ve downloaded.


The reviewers in the 3rd world country are the ones who have to deal with the appeal. I guarantee you that the removal was some form of automated system. No human review is required for deletion from the playstore. The idea behind ithat is that legitimate app developers will appeal in cases where the automated system fucks up whereas the conmen will not.


Fever is okay to deal with. Runny nose or achy throat are the real joykillers.


“We and our 6472 vendors value your privacy.”
Why am I hesitant to believe they do?


UK is not EU, so EU law does not apply.


Good alternatives? I like their mail client and the possibility for aliases that I can generate and lock once they get spammed with newsletters.


All crypto-currencies are overhyped, almost cult-like trash that do nothing but create problems and waste energy. The whole lot of them, no exceptions and they will all fade away eventually, when the fad moves on.


This reminds me of Black & White, the god simulation game from, idk, the early 2000s. They had a list of common names and if your save profile matched one, a creepy voice would call you from time to time.


That meme format only works if the last 2 panels have the same message.
At this point I’m sure it’s not even about control anymore, it’s just that privacy sometimes gets in the way of “line go up”.
