yt-dlp is a CLI program for downloading videos from an absurd number of sites. Originally created for backing up Youtube videos, but has expanded to cover thousands of sites over the years.

Plus housework, plus child rearing for some people.

If I remember right, the devs of Nickelodeon All Stars Brawl and the devs of the GTA Remasters experienced something similar. They had bug fixes ready to go but had to fight with the rightsholders (Viacom and Rockstar, respectively) to be allowed to publish the patches.

Yt-dlp also appears to support downloading videos from Facebook.

For the era of tech shown, you’d also have tons of clicking and whirring hard drive noise as well. Old Hard Drives are noisy. You can hear all the seeking and read/write operations.

Personally, I find that noise comforting, but the inconsisent nature of it would make it hard to tune out.

I mean, Paypal is a bank that isn’t beholden to all the normal bank regulations and customer protection rules due to technicalities. They have been caught effectively seizing customer funds through locking accounts for questionable reasons before, and offer no reasonable way of recovering funds from locked accounts. Numerous stories of people operating online etsy (and similar) storefronts getting accounts locked for vague claims they were actively money laundering, with no means for appeal.

Anyone just now becoming aware of the paypal execs’ corruption hasn’t been paying attention.

Does Ross/Accursed Farms, the person who started this movement, not count?

Man, someone put a lot of effort into this shitpost of a site.

Holy shit, the amount of pure seethe in the jkpress post could power a small city.

The more of Mullenweg’s posts and such that I read, the more he comes across as someone that took some professional/business writing classes and thinks that just because he’s using business speak conventions it means that he’s not coming across as a massive petulant child.

It’s a shame, because he does have some valid points it seems: that the proper existing process wasn’t followed for offering to take the lead, and questioning security and sanity controls in a distributed theme/plugin system.

But it’s buried so deep in barely concealed shitslinging that it’s nearly impossible to take seriously.

Man, this meltdown just keeps fucking going, doesn’t it. Every time I think Mullenweg has finally settled down, he does something else incredibly dumb.

Sad part is that he’s likely to get away with this pne since it’s not effecting a company with enough money to make it a legal battle.

This isn’t subversion, or any sort of theocratic hellscape.

Girl could have gotten an abortion 100% legally up through 20 weeks of preganancy. At 24 weeks the fetus becomes viable outside the womb. At 28 weeks she (with the assistance of her mother) took meds to kill the fetus and induce a stillbirth, commenting that she couldn’t wait to be able to wear jeans again.

She goes through natural labor to pass the stillbirth outside of any medical facility or supervision, burns the remains, and buries them on a farm. When questioned by police, she and her mother admit to using Facebook Messenger to discuss their plans.

The only thing in any way related to the romanticized fiction of some sort of downtrodden freedom seeker you’re talking about is that using encrypted communications would have prevented their discussions from being available to be subpeona’d. That said, admitting to police you even had those discussions in the first place kind of defeats the damn purpose.
