Or maybe its a good way to reset it

If I visit Youtube without being logged in, all I see is junk. Why would a regular user of YouTube ever want to reset their watch history?

Some people don't like living in a personalized bubble.

Nikon defaulted to DSC_0001 for some time now, may still do but I don't have any Z series gear to check.

In my notes the Sony section was listed Sony / Nikon, but there was non-Nikon pattern in there and I removed the Nikon label to reduce inconsistency. Then I didn't update the Nikon section to include the other pattern. :) Should be fixed now. If you notice anything else, let me know!

DSC_XXXX originates from Sony's "Digital Still Cameras" but has been used by multiple other manufacturers. Besides Nikon, my old Canon DLSR also used this naming scheme by default.

If you upload a video and set it to public, you're responsible for that. End of story. It is not the responsibility of others to guess your intentions.

> and set it to public That's the issue. These people likely didn't affirmatively do that.

IIRC at least for a while it defaulted to unlisted and then at some point YouTube changed all unlisted videos to private which removed a lot of videos from view where the original uploader was no longer around to set the video to public.

this is what youtube and reddit was like during 2011. it was calm, serene, accepting, warm, human. it was just this perfect mixture of user friendliness, people knowing how to type and use computers and just before the internet was taken seriously by anyone and corrupted by money. before social media became a serious political consideration. i remember very clearly that even at the time it felt too good to be true. t…

You're speaking of a world that doesn't exist. Even back then people were trying to make money out of YouTube.

There were people trying to make money but that wasn't the default and the attempts at doing so weren't as repetitive.

Lots of digital cameras use an incrementing number in the filename. If you ignore the prefix part, I wonder what is the most commonly uploaded filename number for photos and videos?

The most common number will probably be something very low since in many cameras the numbers reset when you format/erase the card.

Although as that link says, the prefix depends on the manufacturer. My Sony Mavica cameras have MVC_, newer Sony cameras are DSC0, my Fujifilm cameras have DSCF, I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple

>I think IMG_ is pretty unique to Apple You'd be thinking wrong. Canon cameras also use the IMG_ format. It's been a while since I've dealt with GoPros, but I'm pretty sure they are IMG_ as well. While it's nice to hold onto what you know from experience, extrapolating that to end-all-be-all knowledge is just not a good stance. Especially in the light of information from people with wider breadth of information.

> Canon cameras also use the IMG_ format.

That's a sweeping statement that is definitely not true for all cameras Canon has made.

This is genuinely amazing. The complete lack of editing. And strangely some of the videos were allowed to have copyrighted content in the background (meaning ContentID wasn't live or hasn't been retroactively applied) really sells the scene. Like, the last one has Taio Cruz's Dynamite playing in the background. Amazing. The Ea-Nasir Tablet of our time.

> And strangely some of the videos were allowed to have copyrighted content in the background

What is strange is actually how we put up with copyright interfering how we communicate to this extend. Sharing a slice of your life as-is should not be something that other people have a say about.

I see parallels with this and RuneScape. Now it's all about efficiently grinding stats or flipping stuff on the exchange. Back in the day it was all about trimming armor and buying gf.

I think that has more to do with being a kid vs being an adult. Kids are probably still buying gfs on Roblox and Minecraft today (disclaimer: I have no idea what kids play these days lol)

It's intelectually lazy to dismiss any concern about societal change as "you have just gotten old".

I just opened it in incognito in Chrome on Android noticed that the YouTube videos continue playing without interruption even when I switch to another tab or minimize chrome altogether and switch to another app. how can we harness this power to play our favorite audio tracks in background (without any ads to boot ... shhh don't tell Google) I also notice that the website triggers a browser warning when loading that i…

There was an iOS app that used to let you do this; it would play music via Youtube embeds in a hidden web view, exposing its own UI for all the functionality you'd expect from a music streaming app. Whether this was legal is... a gray area, it was a somewhat legitimate company that won some kind of Canadian startup contest on TV, but the music industry was, very predictably, furious at their business model. Eventuall…

You essentially described Musi, although it still serves you the Google ads and its own occasional ad every now and again
