Yeah I use foobar and it works fine, but it still sucks and still affects us that the culture is streaming based. It's better when your habits aren't niche and you're not always fighting against the norm.

Before you comment I'm begging you to take the parent comment in the general spirit of digital "ownership" having taken over the culture and not point out that Winamp technically still exists.

We gave up Winamp for this.

I'm boycotting because the new chicken is a gross honey thing instead of last year's Al Pastor which I liked. If I wanted chicken drowned in sugar sauce I'd go to Panda Express.

I also went through the phase where I thought I was an audiophile/videophile and everything I collected needed to be in ultra high quality. Eventually I realized it was stupid and now I spend a third as much money on storage and still have perfectly fine media that I have no issues with in practice despite the flaws I'm supposed to see in theory.

you'll do nothing but bloat the file size

That's very wrong. Going from h.264 to h.265 cuts file size down to 25-50% of the original. That's what the HE is for in HEVC.

It takes principle and courage to enrich the Nazi site for only two and a half years and not a day longer.

June 2025 is when manifest v2 is supposed to die for good. I think the issue is that it's not really possible for Vivaldi or Microsoft or whoever to keep the code in there long term even if they wanted to.

Isn't every chromium browser going to lose manifest v2 eventually, causing the real ublock origin to stop working?

Don't make a bigger deal out of it than it is. Nothing bad is going to happen.

The obsession with privacy can be taken to an extreme where it's a negative for your mental health. You can sacrifice a little privacy for another important benefit. 100% privacy is either not possible or practical, so don't let it stress you out. I'd be more concerned that AI might lead you down a wrong path, but you're an adult, use your own judgement.

Why would they check for piracy when it's not them you're pirating from and stopping piracy would remove the most popular use case of their product?
