  • It became downright personal for me. Its about accessibility.

    My brain works a certain non typical way which is challenging to live with at best.

    Sudden advertisements hits me like a physical punch in my face.

    The ui focus on everything new rather then a nice subscription view with filters meant i who does not watch daily would frequently miss new uploads from the channels i do like.

    I felt like i was in a toxic relationship being pushed to watch on their terms while openly hating that i protect myself from ad-sault by using blockers.

    I realize i did not need things to be this way and am smart enough to build and alternative.

    Now i have a yt-dlp script downloaded the latest uploads from chosen channels straight to jellyfin and also a selfhosted invidious with custom tweaks for everything i dont want to spend storage space on.

    Basicly i take 100% of what i liked and never have to visit the website directly again.

    They are waging war on invidious, it breaks on occasion. Yt-dlp though, stable as a rock.












  • The message in detroid become human seems to be we would go full extermination out of fear of losing our spot on top of the foodchain. Which does seem plausible.

    What i really didnt like though was how androids were designed to suffer

    They had no ability to shut themselves off, if you kept abusing them they react and respond like real people. They where forced to stay sentient in their single body.

    This is also why they had to experience standing in the back of the bus just for the narrative. Could have just send a drone. Could also just shut down the body while traveling and do something in cyberspace instead.

    If there is one thing certain about digital “life” its that it wont have the same restrictions as us and a body is optional and basically a set of clothes.

    While i did enjoy Detroid it was designed around its own pre set narrative rather then explore what could emerge organicaly if machines became sentient. I could not really take it serious because of that.








  • I would personally argue that fixing the law means getting rid of the notion of intellectual property all together.

    In my own reasoning someone copying me is the highest form of flattery and i would still have an edge understanding the properties of own idea better then the copycat does.

    Its a huge limiter on human progress and absolutely non sensical in situations where multiple people just happen to have a similar idea. As it stands now an employee could invent the cure to cancer, the employer claiming it and then putting it in a vault to never use and bar anyone from creating it.

    Naturally such idea of abolishing copyright receives lots of criticism from many people because we would have to solve other problems that copyright now aims to fix but i don’t think that justifies the damage it does.
