@iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook @fugger I think you're right! I still prefer youtube-dl though. Firefox wants pulseaudio for audio input to work, but as I hate pulse, I use this wrapper called apulse. It introduces some lag which makes audio and video out of sync. It's okay for video calls and such, but it pisses me off watching videos like this. With youtube-dl I can also keep the video if I like it — so youtube-dl is my weapon of choice when it comes to dealing with web video.

@cyberspook @fugger @iska@mstdn.starnix.network It should be like this in theory. But in reality js is often abused and you can't even read text without these fancy decorations. I have js blocked by default in firefox and even some sites for the tech-savvy like python.org or stackexchange show you warnings about enabling js. Pleroma doesn't show you a thing with js disabled I think.
You can use youtube-dl or mpv directly (which in turn will use youtube-dl) for youtube, but you can't avoid js on some other sites.

@appak My cats sleep under a blanket when it's cold and I cover them, but they don't hide like that themselves. Jokes aside, maybe they don't feel comfortable about it for some reason. They prefer their cool (but warm) sweaters and their heated rug.
Oh, they do come under the blanket themselves when I'm under that blanket too! Maybe they feel cuddly or maybe they just feel safer this way, knowing I'm already there and no one will sit on top of them by accident 😸

@appak They do!
They just don't do it often as they don't want someone to mistake them for 🐷🐷 in a blanket (which are in turn just hot 🐶🐶 in disguise) and eat them 🙀

@twann It's a bit strange that Microsoft acquisition itself didn't make many consider using them. But this coding "companion" did 🤣

@matrix Pokemon GO monsters aren't as scary though. And I think there's some sort of criminal penalty for "catching" mosters found via Tinder.

@aivistana А моя кошка играет со мной в Cat Quest в кооперативном режиме!
Я даже хотел опубликовать видео в разделе Reddit, посвящённом игре, чтобы разработчики не вводили людей в заблуждение: что в первой части игры не было кооперативного режима — он был, просто не для людей.
Потом я вспомнил, что для этого надо будет зарегистрироваться в Reddit, а делать этого я конечно не хотел. Но видео осталось.

@stux At first I thought it was a short video loop, but then something different started happening. M. Night Shyamalan level plot twist!

@sai
>you still have much to learn
Oh, yes, I've started working on my anger management since then and now it something doesn't work as expected… I just THROW THE DAMN THING OUT OF THE WINDOW!!!11 🤬

@sai Rain, wash away my sorrow, take away my pain 🎵

@sai I did the same thing when my MacBook didn't work right! Although as I lack beak I did it just by throwing random objects at it.
Do I still qualify as a bird? 🐦

@safiuddinkhan@fosstodon.org Could mean that the installation went extraordinarily well, better than your average 100% successful installation.
Maybe something extra got installed along with the software you wanted. Look, all the cool kids are into these cryptocurrencies nowadays, so this cryptominer should be useful, right? 😏

@fugger @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @cyberspook The web is the main problem, otherwise old hardware is quite usable. Yesterday I've fired up a neetpad from 50 years ago (Thinkpad T40) to update it and generate ed25519 ssh keys for it. And everything except the web is there. You can use gomuks for matrix, amfora for gemini, mutt for mail and gomphotherium for fedi, mplayer plays 720p videos just fine. And this thing's got only 512 Mb RAM! The web is not the biggest problem, it's the only problem actually.

@cyberspook @iska@mstdn.starnix.network @fugger Yeah, I pipe html messages from mutt to w3m, decoding them with perl first because for some reason quoted-printable encoding is broken in mutt. And yes, there are lynx, links, elinks and all that, but you can hardly use them for the js clusterfuck that's called web nowdays.
