Yet if I enter something like ‘resolv’ in Google I need to add ‘-resolve’ to not get hundreds of unrelated results… Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose… I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query…

But with terabox and “content plaza” it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I’m guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results… 1 result? Those are pretty common words,…

Torrents, modded apk’s,…

Check out my results for some chinese download service called “Content Plaza” for example:

Google:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the ‘entire’ internet? 2? Right…

I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

Here’s a little hack if you do have to use youtube:

Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,… After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it’s being abused. 😅

Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.

Add 2 more full versions and it might crash your towers. 😅

Hehe, yeah, even their God’s were recycled Greek ones.

Humans…

Can agree over a universal charging cable, but not over simple math rules…

Roman got it from the Greek too before adapting it, iirc.

I don’t see the problem actually.

1. Everything between ()
2. Exponents
3. multiply and devision
4. plus and minus
5. Always work from left to right.

==========

1. 1+2= 3

2. No exponents

3. • 6 devised by 2 (whether a fraction or not) is 3
   • 3 times 3 is 9

4. Nothing remains

Oh boy, can’t wait to see if the commenter upvoted my reply for the effort.

If I could find a good Peertube instance, I’d take it upon myself to reupload everything I like there. I collect the 1080p(60h if available) clips locally for Kodi anyway…

Back to Greek then. 😅

“I see a wooden sculpture of the state of California…”

Walks into wall

As an enlightened I must object.

Or worse, a link to 2 girls 1 cup or tubgirl. 😅

Everytime I pass this meme, my mind auto-ignores it cause it’s been brainwashed to automatically think it’s an embedded ad. 😅

This just shows how I still need to get used to the fact Lemmy doesn’t do that and and that this image is actually well made. Kudos! 😅

Last time I tried this myself I could play a lot, but never the ones I wanted and ended up switching back anyway. Ever since I’ve just always been running a linux and a windows PC, each to its best use.

I must stress however this experience of mine was over a decade ago and I have heard there’s been a lot of improvement on the subject, with steamdeck becoming a thing and alike, so I have no up-to-date experience in what runs and what doesn’t anymore. What I cán tell you however is that whichever Windows-only game did play (using Wine back then, dunno how it’s done these days) always played at least 2-5x better than on the actual Windows it was made for. 😅

So good luck and I would love some information as to your eventual result!

All conspiracies come true if you spread them and wait long enough… Eventually some crazy rich guy will have heard it and make it real. 😅

Humans are weird. 😅

You shouldn’t… You should also not be on the internet with that temper against strangers with different opinions…

You do know it’s full of those, right?

Either way, I did not advocate for any such a thing. I’m only saying that the way to deal with a problem is by taking on the cause, not the results… Results will keep coming if the cause remains.

Go stick your effort into getting rid of CSAM’s creation. That way there’s no more children harmed instead of you just making yourself feel better cause you attacked someone on the internet that wouldn’t hurt anyone, but you just preassumed did cause he thinks differently on the subject. I’m not even a CSAM interested person. I hate children getting hurt as much as the next guy. I just wish we worked on a solution instead of bandaids.

And I’m just not taking part in the bandaid part. 🤷‍♂️
