Gregory's Server
Bewildered developer is exposed to the agony of the GIF file format

the skip ad button was a scam made up to force you to pay attention to ads
 @sponsorblock according to this pinned thread on uBO's subreddit, youtube devs and adblock devs are in a pretty heated fight, like, right now that thread gives you an idea of the kind of overengineered obfuscated overdone mess the youtube website is google is going way too far to temporarily inconvenience adblock users  @soop @sponsorblock YouTube devs or YouTube managers/execs? Wild to think they've fired any dev who thinks it's scummy but does the work anyway and finally found the pool of devs who like ads YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream. This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times. For now, I set up the server to detect when someone is submitting from a browser with this happening and rejecting the submission to prevent the database from getting filled with incorrect submissions.

@sponsorblock Youtube keeps spending money on a war they can't win. We will always find a way @sponsorblock A potential solution to this is to store not just a timecode on sponsorblock server, but a video-fingerprint (like store mean variance of group of pixels in like 5 random position, each 10 frame) sad to have to fight this... (they premium cost so much also, and they censor everything, not neutral...) @sponsorblock do you know if they're injecting ads within individual DASH segments or do they have the ad serving logic where they serve the DSAH metadata?  this isn't about chess, by the way.
my point is that you should do whatever you have fun doing; even if you're bad at it. lose at chess, paint ugly paintings, play bad music. maybe you'll get better, maybe you won't. the important part is that you're having a good time. пора сделать резервную копию своего телефона на этот раз такую, чтобы её потом было вообще возможно восстановить, лол wait 2019 was 5 years ago? :blobcatgooglyholdingitsheadinitshands: мне было охуеть как скучно, поэтому... помните тот ИИ, о котором болтала @mnnwvn? ну так вот, я начал писать для него гтк4 морду на питоне. потому что телегу всё время в фоне держать неприкольно More fun publisher surveillance:

 @jonny Aaah yes, DMCA against random citizens, enforced by the same govs who original funded the majority of the papers in the first place. So, the tax payer gets to pay for the education, the research, the access fee AND the cops and legal system who have to go after the right minded citizens who publish the stuff they already payed for at least twice. This is fine. 🔥 The market will regualte itself.  “Jesus and Grimace are cousins!” was not a sentence I expected to write today, but here we are. #etymology  BREAKING: #FuckStalkerware pt. 7 - israeli national police found trying to purchase stalkerware
