I watch quite a bit of anime and a lot of subtitles seem to be in a format that includes advanced features such as stretching/shrinking text, rotation, karaoke effects and what have you. I think the sub format is actually called .ass or .ssa, but don’t quote me on that.

Anywho, I tried watching some random anime a few years back and was using VLC at the time. VLC detected the subtitles, but couldn’t do anything outside of just displaying them. It couldn’t do the advanced effects. So, I switched to MPV which just worked and have been using it ever since. As I said, this was a few years back and VLC probably can do advanced subtitles at this point, but eh. I’m too used to MPV now.

It seems to be more lightweight than i2p. Also possibly for Java haters.

(And right back at you)

There’s a version written in C++: https://github.com/PurpleI2P/i2pd

Well, you seem to have given this issue considerable thought. Here’s hoping it works out for you.

Man, that’s a whole lot of homework just to access a Microsoft account. In addition, Windows has a nasty habit of rolling back changes every time there’s a major update (like upgrading from build 24H2 to 25H2), so the tweaks listed might not even stick.

Thanks for the explanation!

I notice that the website has a “Powered by Tor & Haveno” button at the top. What’s the relationship between RetoSwap and Haveno, exactly? Is RetoSwap a fork of Haveno?

Still in development, I’m afraid. Not yet ready for regular use.

This is for connecting a Dreame vacuum robot to a PC for purposes of flashing Valetudo firmware over their stock firmware. The breakout board is needed because the connector on the robot is not USB, but a 2x8 PIN connector. When connected to the vacuum, it looks like this.

Oh cool, I was not aware. It’s always nice to have options.

To add to this: unless I’ve missed some, Mullvad seems to be the only VPN provider that doesn’t take your data at account creation. You are assigned a random account number. That’s it. No username, email, birthdate, etc.

You’re right, but let’s be honest: it may as well be.

And we should listen to this snake oil salesman why?

Actually, there’s still stuff like localmonero and bisq which were non-KYC when I last checked, but your point still stands.

What this basically is is signees asking Google to fix the problem that Google itself caused. I hope for other people’s sake that this goes through, but since we’re talking about Google, I am all but convinced that Google will pull something like this again in the future.

I can’t get over just how wonderful it is to have AI in our lives.

Bad news, I’m afraid. Tried opening a few restricted videos with PipePipe, FreeTube, tried downloading with yt-dlp, nothing works. YouTube is being locked down.

Man, just good decisions all around on Discord’s part.

I mean, you’re not wrong, but have you seen what those alternatives were?
