Yeah, if that other user copyrighted the video.

Does YT own the content? Its not exactly the same as movies, music or TV shows. He is downloading a video made by another user and uploaded to a publicly accessible website. Account is not even required to watch YT unless its +18 content. So what is Google going to argue here that user X stole users Y content and they are just good middle man samaritan?

Sure but X doesn’t indicate it being a hospital or any other institution that would have people confused. Its just a letter.

I havent seen an advertisement on YT in about 20 years. Did none of these people ever heard of uBlock Origin?

What ads is he talking about?

Agreed on that. I had to take a break from reading this post just because of how unreadable that blog UI is

AppCleaner is no good after you deleted an app by other means and it left crap on the hd tho… as far as I recall CleanMyMac was a paid closed course app?
Re:Making macOS Apps Uninstallable on Friday February 17, 2023 @06:41PM (#34842110)
Is there any tool that can find those leftovers and remove then permanently?
Re:How I Use Notion to Manage Everything on Friday February 17, 2023 @06:20PM (#34841946)
But thats why you cant compare a ready product to use like Notion to org-mode. I’m somewhat an advanced user and I cant be bothered fucking with org-mode. Obsidian is just perfect for my needs.
Re:How I Use Notion to Manage Everything on Friday February 17, 2023 @05:49PM (#34841693)
Org mode isnt something an average user can manage no matter how many times comments like that are written

They dont have the app anymore do they? Its just electron.
Re:How I Use Notion to Manage Everything on Friday February 17, 2023 @05:35PM (#34841550)
I feel exactly the same. How the hell people have time foe all this?

It’s procrastinating in a fashionable way to make yourself feel like you’re productive.

Is it any different from all closed sourced services?
Why people still use those spying, ad serving services and then complain about it is beyond me.

Its 2023, we know better, move on to a service that respect your privacy.

Re:It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon on Saturday November 05, 2022 @10:31AM (#33481836)
I dont really understand how Mastodon works. I tried to search for this guys profile (our of curiosity, I dont know who this is) and it doesnt come up in search results even if I search by his handle directly. Why is that? Do I need to be on the same server as him or something?
Re:It looks like I’m moving to Mastodon on Saturday November 05, 2022 @04:40AM (#33479288)
Or do what I had done - delete whatsapp and text them saying it’s either text messages or download Signal from here [link]. Everyone I gave a shit about had done that.

Ah, I missed it. Thanks!

Having txt files is just more portable for me in terms of any future software changes. It’s a backup for lifetime essentially as I’m not tied to Apple Notes nor Obsidian.

I save more by default too, I have a template that imports when I add new book to my collection and I just fill it with info/tags and my notes/quotes and other interesting stuff related to the book.

My favourite thing about Obsidian is that you can interlink all the notes together. Its super useful if you’re referring to other books in your notes or if you have literature notes on different books.

Probably, like most people, he just read words ;)
Re:Art Garfunkel's Library on Friday September 16, 2022 @02:18AM (#32862722)
Yes, this is something I had to learn over the years. I always had this notion that I HAD to finish something (book, movie) to be able to express the opinion on it. Now, if I dont enjoy it I just stop reading and when I’m asked what did I think of it I simply answer that I didnt finish because xyz. It gives you so much more time resulting in reading something you actually enjoy.

Looks like The Road by McCarthy (2006) is marked as his favourite but for some reason is not included on the favourites list.
Re:Art Garfunkel's Library on Friday September 16, 2022 @02:12AM (#32862688)
I started keeping a text file with all things I read and another one for audiobooks. Since Obsidian came out I use it to edit my file and link books together.

I use the following format:

[[title]] by [[author]] (date finished)

That way I generate a separate file for each book where I can keep notes and my rating. I also keep a separate file for each author so I can easily link all the books/short stories/essays etc by that author in one place. Obsidian is bloody awesome.
