Re:Making the dislike count private across YouTube on Wednesday November 10, 2021 @03:56PM (#29180646)
so what indicator can we use to check whether a video is scam/pointless/have wrong information?

The only one benifiting from this is Youtube itself since we'll have to watch entire videos wasting hours on useless content and they make more money.

"dislike attacks" what an implausible argument.

Re:Joe's Online WAD Editor and Creator on Friday November 05, 2021 @12:18PM (#29121367)
Well I'm or was in a bit of a unique situation, I'm running PuppyLinux live on a 4gb RAM, without a disk--only a 16gb flash drive. Meaning I can't install large apps such as wine. Since then I've found an Appimage for Proton/Wine[1] that I can save in my flash drive and use occasionally (But I may have to often delete the `.wine/` folder because it take up space). Also, I didnt care about quality cause I needed to see old low-res textures for reference, i was interested in PSX style games for like 2 days.

You guessed it right, I use Linux and I couldn't even use Wine when I needed to view some WAD files, Joe's editor was the only one I could use. It lacked an export feature however so I added that and redesined it to be reactive with Petite-Vue while at it The reason I had WAD files is not because of Half-Life lol, I just looked them up cause I wanted to view old-school textures and how they're made. I was interested in PSX style games cause it's a trend now and that was the first reference material that came to mind.

Indeed goes deep it was the first time I look into code doing something like this done, Joe the original creator wrote a tutorial for his method whic:h helped me understand it a bit https://www.j0e.io/tutorials/wad3-format/

I'm not that good when it comes to algorithms and such so I can't say I can replicate the method by myself in other languages for example, That's why my additions were only the redesign and minor features like search and exporting

Oh and maybe y'all can talk about the parsing etc, that's his website I linked above, when I emailed him he said he forgot about the project since no one ever mentioned it (despite being the only HL WAD editor that works online I found)

Re:Show HN: A web video player for local files on Tuesday August 03, 2021 @10:53AM (#28049928)
A while ago, there were some bugs in my Manjaro installation and it caused both VLC and MPV and pretty much any other video play to freeze during video playback, so had to play inside chrome which was inconvenient so this would've been great! will bookmark for future use thanks
Same! Only stopped making memes cause it's annoying on PC. It looks good but have some feedback: Auto position should either be a button or the image should be auto positioned after it is resized as well. since it don't re-position automatically now, it's more like a one time action than a check box. Well kinda, it make sense in a way, so don't mind that i guess lol
