It's a feast fit for royalty! ....To them

I hate those things.

Even when you do it correctly sometimes it won't accept it

time to look up some alternatives.

VLC's UI on windows hasn't changed much in over 10 years now. It definitely would benefit from a search function to quickly find certain settings to fine tune your expirience with it. But I sandbox all of my software, so no cache files or data it writes onto the drive I make it write to ever sticks around for very long.

Any time I need to open a link from a friend I copypaste the link into a sandboxed browser that doesn't have access to any of the shit going on in the other sandboxes instead of opening it rawdog into that same sandbox.

many instances of piped and invidious won't accept your connection if you're not logged in with an account there. and now a lot of age-restricted videos on youtube won't play through an alternative front end at all.

I have ways of virtuallizing multiple instances of the same stuff, I can just copypaste a youtube link into another instance of my browser full of userscripts for bypassing all of google's garbage.

it used to be a peer reviewed scientific study that huge helpings of grains were good for you. Turns out the food pyramid was created by people who would benefit from the sales of grain-rich food full of sugar.

speaking of sugar, it used to be a peer reviewed study that fatty meat was bad for you, turns out that was written up by the sugar industry

Also the security of the app is weaker than signal. They removed forward secrecy which means that if someone gets your private key they can decrypt any of your messages. This is made worse by your messages being stored in Loki net since anyone with your key can become you and see your entire history. Even if you delete a message it likely can still be recovered.

that's one of the problems with everything that's anonymous with no way to verify or track who's who.

Okay I looked into it...Session uses its own encryption method that involves anonymity, signal and simpleX don't have any particular focus on keeping their users anonymous.

You can't have perfect forward secrecy if your users are also anonymous, at least not over a messaging app...this is the first time I've looked into this issue.

crypto behind it basically a pyramid scheme.

Any crypto currency that isn't Bitcoin, Monero or DodgeCoin is that.

who the hell still uses windows media player? I use windows and everyone else I know who uses windows never opens WMP. We all have VLC for videos, but for the movies that we all totally pay for we use Kodi/XBMC or jellyfin

it sucks, a lot of things need to be fixed

Session has had quite a lot of controversy.

Like what? You mean the pedos that also use it? There's pedos that do all kinds of illegal shit here on a few different instances of lemmy too...at least that's what I heard from the owner of a mastodon instance that didn't want to federate with one particular instance that kept happening on.

dot gov? That's propaganda.

The government is not your friend, it never was nor will it ever be

where's the invidious or piped video link?

what about a session community? That one's actually private

I always thought dice like those were made from vertebrae

I guess they're ankle bones

I don't think that's how it works.

Eat meat

My cats would hate that

Think about how many times the copyright nazis have tried to crack down on piracy and then imagine how much good that kind of effort could do if they set up sting operations to catch pedos

Have you seen how fast and sleek 460 magnum is? 500 magnum was the "stupidly big" one, 460 was the one that they put a lot of science into

Much like the 50BMG in contrast to the 408 cheytac
