  • Have you tried going through an invidious instance? Freetube does that so I don’t think the VPN is really necessary. You are already accessing YT through a proxy of sort with invidious.

    As long as YT bans lists of VPN IPs there is no point in complaining about it. Either find a VPN that is not blocked or go the Invidious route but there isn’t many approach…










  • I keep up with US news for years by now and I’m some French dude who shouldn’t care about it. The US is a preview of the next issues my country will encounter so I think it matters to follow some American news.

    I think it doesn’t matter really why American elected Trump twice. It just raises the question on what can we do to change that. And there is nothing else really to do that trying to reach out and convince the other side.

    My main philosophical question out of this is what can you do if your country decides unequivocally and democratically to be racist or Xenophobic or commiting war crimes?

    It also doesn’t really matter as to why a large group of human beings can agree to be racist but I think it definitely says something about humanity. In some way it makes climate change more “acceptable” in my mind. Maybe we do deserve to go extinct if after all this progress and intellectual collaboration all we get is deciding to become racist or discriminatory, to morally fail, to prey on the weak and powerless.

    That’s how bad the US looks for me right now. It’s depressing in general about us humans and not just America. It’s a testament to our ability to be evil and to collaborate to be evil or mean to others.

    We usually get one or two people saying to look for the helpers in time of crisis. There is no helper for this crisis. Good luck living in a dictatorship I guess.




  • Oh I’m sure Adobe has the greatest of intentions on this. Such a reputable company that has a stellar past.

    I’m sure they won’t gatekeep this digital human signature in some atrocious proprietary standard along with an expensive subscription to have the honor of using it.

    Don’t listen to Adobe on AI or even better don’t accept any “idea” or solution from Adobe.







  • I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

    I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

    Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

    What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?
