Holy hell that sounds cursed. How obnoxious are they? Can you share a screenshot?

Next time I'm cursing Spectrum I'll remind myself that they aren't doing that at least.

As a child, going from the 60s Batman series to that was almost whiplash inducing. I did not expect animated Batman to give me the feels. I did not expect animated Batman to honestly scare the crap out of me.

I have no idea who decided a 90s kid show should have writing that good but they made the right call. Xanatos is one of the best written villains ever.

Bonus if the VOB is encoded out of order and uses the chapters specified in the IFO to play the episodes in the correct order. CW/WB shows did that a lot for some reason.

Ahh gotcha. So this is the start of the fork. Interesting.

Well I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on it. Think I'll make an account over on your side too just to keep up with my basic plan of diversification.

Huh, got me intrigued, gotta say. Any significant differences between mbin and kbin you can point out? I know for me in kbin the Mastodon interactivity doesn't work the best, and finding the context of replies in threads doesn't work when it goes to multi-page.

Hey thanks. Just wanted to make a great game even better.

Jello is not vegan.

Let's not forget the Mediterranean cuisine either. Falafel. Hummus. Baba Ganouj, Dolmas... crap I've made myself hungry now.

Depends on the brand IMO. I actually really like Impossible Meat; to me it tastes like decent quality beef with some really good hard to place seasoning. If it wasn't so damn expensive I'd get it over actual ground beef.

That's me, yeah. Though these days it's handled by sandbox6, who took over for me when RL intruded.

But yeah, hi!

The copy of Invidious I installed on my NAS is even more steps ahead.

I too have an NAS that runs Docker and have been looking for things to run on it. Container++! :D

That's where I'm at as well. For a long time I didn't bother with adblocking on my TVs and a few other devices because I could tolerate 1-2 ads before every video and the occasional mid-roll ad on the longer videos. Then they started ramping things up; it was when I got 10 ads on a 6 minute video, 7 of which were the same ad that I'd finally had enough. I'm not going back, they can get bent.

People were okay with ads, then YouTube started making them obnoxious. Ads every 2 minutes, postroll ads that interfere with autoplay, incredibly long "ads" which mean you need to watch YouTube like a hawk to make sure your 5 minute video hasn't been interrupted by an hour long ad you need to manually skip.

There's a balance that people need to be happy with a service, and if the service doesn't provide that then people will use things like adblockers to get it themselves. It's the same thing that happened with the first "adpocalypse" that brought about most of the big name adblockers in the first place: people were okay with unobtrusive ads, then advertisers started running popups, overlays, autoplay videos, fake system notifications, on and on and on. The advertising became so disruptive people were unable to use sites without adblockers. And so the cycle repeats.

YouTube brought this on themselves.

It also hasn't changed much for the porn/adult content side, though a lot of those users are slowly migrating to other places, especially bsky.
