That both you and Blakey focused on how he shouldn’t be going around in headphones as if it mattered in any way in the context of the story.
I specifically said it didn't matter. Scroll up.
If you want to blatantly lie, fine, but it's kind of dumb to do it when the evidence that you're a blatant liar is on the same webpage as the lie.

Nah, don’t feel like doing that.
Especially since I can blatantly lie instead!

@kt_ That's what usually happens whether I want to do that or not, since the escalator just sort of throws me into them. And it's never a beautiful woman who falls in love with me at first sight like in a shitty romcom, instead it's a couple of old people pretty much 101% of the time... fuck my life.

You should consider going to a gym that has an escalator.
And then you should ride it at least 20 minutes a day. You will find your destined one.

@tsaukpaetra I wonder why the EU hasn't gone after Apple forcing every single browser on iOS to use Safari at its core, considering how pissy they were a MS bundling IE with Windows. Preventing browsers from using their own rendering engines kinda makes it hard to release a better performant browser for iOS, or add special features. Firefox for iOS cannot use addons, which is otherwise the main selling point for it on mobile.
I wonder why the EU hasn't gone after Apple for forcing half of their store rules. But they don't just go after companies at will. They do so when somebody complains. And most likely nobody with sufficient legal budget to push it through got pissed enough to bring it up yet.
Note that Google does not really care—Chrome is just a co-product for them and as long as Safari renders well enough, which it does, they don't have any problem with it—and Mozilla is a non-profit that does not have much legal budget. So who could complain is somebody making other application that was rejected from the store for some other stupid reason and that's mostly small companies that don't have that big legal budgets either.

I most certainly am not, Mozilla!

Apparently companies are putting white noise into the Content ID system on YouTube. Because they totally own the copyright for all white noise.
-
@lb_ at least they won't get any ad revenue.
Copyright deadlock on a 10 hour video only containing audible white noise and a single image. I don't even know which part of that sentence is the craziest one. What a time to be alive.
-
@onyx Looks like they all get some money, since none of them disabled monetization.

Unless something changed, multiple monetization claims mean no ads run, because they can't all own it and make money off of it at the same time.
Since Jim Sterling still seems to be using this method to keep his "Jimquisition" show ad-free (he never wanted ads of any kind of it himself, he monetizes other videos though, that show is an exception), I'd assume that's still the case. That, or he now just plays multiple copyrighted clips in his videos as a meme rather than an ad prevention measure, but I'm pretty sure he'd say something about it not working any more if it stopped working
I guess I should try visiting YT with AdBlock off and check, but I'm still traumatized from the last time...
-
@onyx Yeah I've seen that video and I just re-watched it, at least one of the claims has to disable monetization. Otherwise the revenue just gets split. See the video you linked at 5:03 and 6:28, in both cases one or more of the claims disables monetization.

Fair enough, I don't remember if that was mentioned in the video and I just forgot, or if it wasn't explained clearly. I mostly just listen to his videos while doing stuff, so me missing it on the screen wouldn't be weird.
Guess that might also be why he reuses some of the clips all the time, might be that those are the specific ones he knows will cause that exact behavior.

@blek Turns out, something is making my browser report a completely wrong user agent (FF 52 on Win64 instead of what's in the screenshot) and I have no clue what's doing it. I don't have any addons that manipulate the user agent, or at least I'm not aware of it.

They're too busy spending it on being a non-profit in San Francisco.

If you search "general.useragent" in about:config, do you have any non-default values?

@heterodox Nope, I see three options and they're all default.
I guess I'll try disabling addons one by one.
Edit: nnnnnope... seriously what the hell.

Weird. If you hit F12 in Firefox and look at an outbound network request, is the User-Agent header correct or incorrect on the request? It's possible an intermediate network device could be changing it (e.g. transparent Privoxy), but it probably wouldn't happen on SSL sites.
-

The "I don't need feminism" thread is .
-
@heterodox Yeah, the outbound request is wrong. Anyway I found the problem, it's the
privacy.resistFingerprinting
option. Resetting it back to false fixes the user agent.Edit: WAIT HANG THE FUCK ON. First I thought it was some kind of bug but... does that option actually change user agent and break Mozilla's own addon portal on purpose? And god knows how many other sites?!
I can understand the train of thought that goes "if every FF install reports the same user agent regardless of the actual environment then individual users will be harder to track", but that's fucking dumb, because that option still doesn't stop Panopticlick from saying my browser is unique since UA is a tiny bit of the overall fingerprint, and... aaaaaaahhhhhhh!
-

Skynet alert.
Before posting this, Google popped up a notification on my phone that my 'animation' was complete. I opened it, utterly confused:
This is still goddamn adorable, but I'm getting scared. All I did was download that video (in WebM format, no less); Google created this with zero input from me, in ~10 seconds.

@ben_lubar It's set to back up all the albums except for app temp folders. I knew the original video was ending up there. But the analysis of the video, leading to it creating a looping gif which is absolutely perfect, that's just slightly unsettling.

Well yeah, because there's no good reason for anybody to want to run Safari on Windows.
It's basically just so that macOS users can pat themselves on the back for using a great browser.

I had wanted to see if it would allow a website that has a few peculiarities to run properly.
But as it turns out, the last version of Safari for Windows is from September 2016, and is no longer hosted on Apple's servers. There actually isn't a download link on the Safari webpage.

WHAT
I switch to IntelliJ, as soon as I click, VSCode comes to the top.
I minimize VSCode, next it's the server window. Minimize that, next it's Discord. Minimizing and maximizing IntelliJ did not fix it; what did was minimizing everything and only opening IntelliJ and then clicking in it.

My WTF of the day:
Don't do goddamn fucking video tutorials if you don't also provide the code you're supposedly "tutoring" in.
Because if you suffer through the goddamn "So this" and "So that" and "So there!" for half an eternity only to discover that somewhere along the line you seem to have missed some line you shitty bastard had to go and edit somewhere in your mess then you can kiss any semblance of sanity goodbye because you simply won't find the error due to the fact that a) it's a fucking tutorial and b) you only ever show a portion of the code which makes comparisons of errors a really time-consuming task because now I have to fucking watch this mess all over again!
Gah!
Video tutorials for code can burn in hell. And their developers with them.
-

Yeah, this is dumb. A lot of not-video tutorials do this too.

@tsaukpaetra One of my pet peeves is C# tutorials that say "use [obscure framework method]" without showing me what namespace it's in or what to put in my
using
statement.
