I'd say, just go in to any nursing home, and say you want to adopt s grandma. They propably assing you multiple ones; unfortunately in msny cseses there are loads of elderly people who don't get visited by anyone, so they are very happy to have "volunteer visitors".

Sounds like a great band name

I would so much like to love peertube, but I have yet to find any instance that hosts the trash reevant to my interests. Mostly they either are filled with reuploads from YouTube, or are full of radicalized conspiracy theories (which I encounter very rarely on any other form of fediverse).

And then there is the "dumploads", which makes the instances seem like they only have one active contributor, as they dump like 60 videos right after another, resulting the frontpages to have just one note content. This, however, could be gixed by otion to group conecutive uploads as "[latest video] and [n] other videos from [user]", which would help to find more diverse content, as well as discourage dumping.

Then again, that is only my opinion, and if PeerTube is fine for others, who am I to complain. It just doesn't seem to be for me :/

I personally find it rather infuriating that swapping those is made so difficult, and to this day don't know who has more usecase for media keys and varied power buttons over function keys.

And the worst thing is, if the upper row defaults as mefia keys, and toggling Fn to be function keys by default, you also toggle numpad to the right side of the keyboard. Don't get me wrong, I like numpad, but I quite don't like losing half of my keyboard, because keyboard manufacturers don't know what keys should be behind the Fn.

Where doed WPS office source it's ads? I mean, if you run it in a (more or less) sandbox (well, you might want to have access to the files you're editing), and without access to internet, how does the ad interface behave?

Because banning plastic straws is more visible to consumer, and takes less from the profit margin of the companies?

Well, in my country they've replaced the straws on those 2dl juice boxes by a flimsy paper straw that disintegrate with any contact with any liquid, and can't punch trough the tiny METALLIC seal for the straw hole. These useless paperrolls are packed in pladtic, and gued to the side of the box...

"Shorts to normal player" is the one on chromium (I used to use it in sandbox exclusively for YouTube). On Mozilla, the "YouTube Shorts Normal Player" seems to do the same trick it seems.

That is actualla good feature then, if you need it for accessibility... But why on earth does it need to prompt you to enable it with such an annoying way? To my knowledge, it's the only accessibility option that agressively advertises itself specifically when you don't want, or need, it to.

More logical behaviour to prompt the enabling would be if a "modifier" key, and "non-modifier" key is pressed in sequence, but not at the same time. As the assumption of sticky keys is that the user is not able to press two buttons down simultaneously.

That said, it is likely that a person who has need for this feature, but is not aware of it's excistence, would not use other modifiers than shift, as they are needed exclusively for hotkeys, which is on the far end of the learning curve (as mouse, and right klick are more apparent to learn), and if such feature is needed, it's excistence is apparent at the time you start to use the systems via hotkeys. Instead, if you hammer shift repeatedly while typing, it indicates that you light benefit from tjis feature. Thus only requiring detection of the writing cursor being active, which is already possible, because there is an accessibility feature to highlight that. I know this, because a fresh install of windows suggests that you go trough accesdibility on first startup.

Sorry, I know you're not developing Windows UI (but what do I know, if you did), but I kindawanted to rant a bit about such an apparent solution to a problem that has plagued from Win 3.11 at least.

Well, I got annoyed about that, and found a browser addon that changes the url from shorts to videos.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Someone already posted the piped -link, but in general, uou can make any YouTune link to piped link by replacing the youtube -part of the url to piped.video

Took me a while to figure that out myself.

-The break meant that there would be at least 15 minutes of no ads after

-During that long break you had the ability to empty your bladder, or get more snacks

-You didn't get repeats of ads during that singular break

-The ads weren't targeted to you specifically, but targeted to the viewers of the show you were watching

-The advertisers saw value in "quality over quantity"
