Free speech doesn't die with this. Host your own site.

The year is 2041. Google announces that only a negligible fraction of users acceses websites outside of the clean pool. These users are at risk, they claim, due to "all the bad stuff on the free web". They refuse to clarify if this refers to malware or to content not aligned with The Party doctrine. However, they draw the consequence that "free web" sites will no longer be supported by Chrome, to protect the users. L…

Press fork.

do you never encounter opening youtube video in a new tab only for video itself to load, while rest of the page doesn't?

That sounds pretty nice. Is there a way to do it on purpose?

I know that's a tongue-in-cheek joke, but just in case I'm fond of the plugin unhook.

You are a digital hoarder. I have taken so many pics that I wouldn't even bother to look back that them (do we ever?) but Google memories is really a neat feature, it refreshes memories. I think you should run a similar service to refresh memory of your favourite videos like they are on speed dail.

Might sound stupid, but: differences between Google memories vs. Snapchat memories? Also my issue is that I would NEVER upload the photos I have on my hard drive due to privacy issues, but if I had a local model that could categorize photos and whatnot, that would be cool. I have over 10k screenshots / images. Many of them have text on it, so probably need OCR. > You are a digital hoarder. Is this meant to be negativ…

> MS Media Player eventually fell behind the curve, but eventually we got VLC and things got great. And in-between those we had Media Player Classic together with the Combined Community Codec Pack, and once you had MPC + CCCP installed, you could finally view those glorious aXXo-branded 700MB files found on a random DC++ hub.

I'm still using the Media Player Classic Home Cinema to this day. https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc Never liked VLC, but that's just me.

That's awesome. I used VLC only because of the nightmare of codecs back in the day, and worked well for me for ages. I now just use mpv with some UI plugins.

This absolutely screams graphics card drivers problems to me.

Does it? Why do they play perfectly fine after being downloaded?

On Linux? One can dream But if the correct drivers are installed and work, I think it will solve the issue.

"their" content? This is Youtube. Of course, the same can be said for FB, Tiktok, instagram, Pintrest, reddit, ... and I'm sure the list keeps going. Frankly, Youtube is pretty damn good about this, really.

No where else to go that pays. They can pay which entices those to stay. Google owns that monopoly.

Well, there used to be a lot of economic theory about how stupid it is to have marketplaces (like Youtube fundamentally is) be owned by anyone but the government. Entire books.

Yet no-one seems to remember.
