Борьба с накрутками а-ля рюс: не просто не учитывать такие загрузки страницы, а говорить пользователю о том, что так делать нельзя 🤣

I think they are blocking YT in Russia — there were some news that the ban was lifted recently, but I never checked whether this is true myself. I'll see what I can do 😏
@charlie_root
Deal! I'm not sure it would get counted though, as I'm browsing over VPN and no longer have an account, but I'd be happy to oblige 👍
@charlie_root
True! And I tend to forget that not everyone uses 10+ y.o. hardware like I do: I would kill for saving that extra minute on encoding. Man, I unironically sometimes do video editing with ffmpeg — in Windows too! 🤣
I would also be too lazy to install Kdenlive, but you probably had it already.
@charlie_root
Man, are you using Kdenlive solely for the purpose of adding cover art to audio track? 😲
Doesn't ffmpeg do it faster and using less resources? I can even imagine it being trivial to accomplish, something like… https://superuser.com/a/1041818

Means of paylo… oops, I mean pancake delivery 😅

Nah, just joking. I often neglect the doctor advice, but boiled things are indeed better for your digestive tract than fried ones.
@charlie_root
Fedi is good kind of insane (hey, look — all my wardmates are here!), TwitteX is bad kind of insane, TikTok is too braindead/boring TBH — lacks depth IMO.
@iska @moonchild
> boiled meat
Such a blasphemy! Fry it immediately, like a manly man would do 😤
@ozzelot
It's also free if you have unlimited data and a handy torrent seedbox 😜
@joey
Maybe it has to do with whether is country is a popular tourist destination. In countries with a steady tourist flow people are more used to the outsiders and see then as an opportunity: to have good time, earn some money maybe — rather than a threat 🤷

@joey
Sometimes I start thinking to myself: maybe I'm too paranoid to expect that from people? But then I remember all these stories, sometimes firsthand experiences from people whom I have no reasons not to trust, and even my own experiences — hardly tragic, but easy to extrapolate — and I'm like: nah, better safe than… waking up without a kidney in a rundown shed I see for the first time 😅

На самом деле меня всегда забавлял этот конфликт в силовичьей голове между желанием всё запретить и не пущать и соблазном возможностями слежки, которую открывает повсеместность всех этих гаджетов: как бы так сделать, чтобы в Интернете были только Вконтакте и ГосуСлуги — но чтобы люди продолжали хотеть этим пользоваться? 🤔

Man, this shit is not supposed to discourage you — it's supposed to be fun, if you ain't having fun just stop, you don't have any obligations to do it 😄
None
Just in case: DMs/PMs simply don't exist on this instance as concept — don't use them, use the other instance if you absolutely have to, or send an email to any address at m0xEE.Net or .Com or .Org, but I prefer keep most communication public.
