just don’t die

So far that’s been working for me.

Once again further diluting the meaning of the words “bought” and “sold”

Reddit also has vote fuzzing where you can get the number of votes, but it’s always manipulated for some reason.

The stated reason is to prevent abuses like “piling on”.

kent_eh , 2 months ago to technology in YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers

My videos are also randomly going from 4k to 360p, and having long hitches/pauses

I’m seeing this as well. Except I’m not using an adblocker on youtube, and I am paying for youtube premium…

I don’t think it’s entirely caused by youtube fighting adblockers. I think it’s more likely just a regular, boring, old fashioned fuck-up.

I didn’t say it wouldn’t work for me, only that they make it hard to get here.

Because most countries are not like the US.

It’s odd to see this level of American exceptionalism in the wild.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive terms.

It would be cool if they sold the thing in (or were willing to ship to) my country…

He’s one of my favorite rednecks on youtube.

Do you realize there are 5 cases already like this? Do you know why? Because this mistake is super common.

Maybe it’s common for Americans to be this lax with their weaponry?

I don’t see the citizens of other countries making the same “common” mistake.

Putin is welcome to cease firing and get his army back on the other side of the fucking border any time he likes.

Ukraine has no interest in a ceasefire that causes them to lose territory to the Russian invaders.

And rightfully so.

Lightburn for controlling laser engravers.

It’s pretty much the only choice on Linux (though it is cross platform). Free 30 day trial, then ~$80 lifetime licence.

The other choice is LaserGRBL, which is open source, but doesn’t seem to have a Linux port for some reason. And it has a lot fewer features, with a more complex workflow.

it will just crash on you before you even find out

Older versions may have had issues with that, but I haven’t encountered any crashing in over 2 years. (And I i do 6 youtube videos per month with it)
