<infinisil>
Haha youtube, what the hell
<infinisil>
There is now youtube premium, one feature of which is that you can *download* youtube videos
<infinisil>
20 bucks per month!!
<infinisil>
They seriously overestimate what I'd pay for this
<infinisil>
Oh also you can play videos in the background with it, I guess that's the replacement for youtube red.
<infinisil>
Yes those are nice features, but I won't pay 240 per year for this shit
<qyliss^work>
woww
<__monty__>
Why wouldn't you be able to play videos in the background with youtube?
<qyliss^work>
they deliberately don't let you, at least on mobile
<__monty__>
Ah, on mobile.
<qyliss^work>
they even manage to break it in the browser on iOS now. I don't even understand how.
<infinisil>
At least youtube-dl still works (yet)
<qyliss^work>
they're going to have a hard time breaking youtube-dl
<qyliss^work>
Kind of a pointless cat and mouse game for them
<infinisil>
They just recently did break it, but it got adjusted rather quickly again
<wirew0rm>
they can pay people for doing the cat and mouse game, youtube-dl (and NewPipe) can't? I think it's more not breaking their own service in the process
<qyliss^work>
yeah exactly
<ekleog>
the DRM industry shows that cat-and-mouse rarely work
<ekleog>
then youtube has more control over time than DRMs, but…
<qyliss^work>
I guess they could use Encrypted Media Extensions...
<qyliss^work>
(I will never forgive the W3C for that)
<ekleog>
given youtube's quality, you can just film your screen and plug your outgoing jack to a micro
<ekleog>
good luck fighting that
<infinisil>
The only thing that seems to work is to make the legal paid thing *much* more convenient. See patreon and netflix
<qyliss^work>
yeah
<infinisil>
*cough* anime industry, please take note ^^ *cough*
<qyliss^work>
ikr
<qyliss^work>
I would LOVE to pay for anime
<qyliss^work>
I don't watch much, but that's mostly because it's so damn inconvenient
<infinisil>
I'm always torrenting stuff, and crunchyroll is kinda shit and doesn't have most stuff. And it's hard to pay the original creators, the best option being buying merch. But if I buy merch I'll have to pay shipping as well which is hella damn expensive to here in switzerland
<infinisil>
Just gimme something patreon like for all anime
<joepie91>
anime industry? I think you mean 'the entirety of the cultural and technological production industry'
<joepie91>
:P
<joepie91>
relatedly, games on GOG are the only games I pay for because I know that I'll get them without DRM bs
<joepie91>
well, that and games that are independently sold DRM-free outside of any platform of course
<joepie91>
but that's pocket change
<infinisil>
joepie91: It's particularly bad with anime I feel. I give lots of money to people in tech and entertainment through patreon
<joepie91>
those are probably not massive studios though
<joepie91>
(I do throw money at people via patreon now as well)
<qyliss^work>
Anime is particularly bad because there's often no legal way to obtain in at all, short of importing a blu ray
<joepie91>
I do have to say I've kinda come to dislike the "paid per thing" variant of patreon
<joepie91>
I feel like it puts too much pressure on the authors
<infinisil>
qyliss^work: I waited with watching Kimi no na wa until I could get the blueray myself :D
<infinisil>
joepie91 They can choose it themselves though. Some of them feel more comfortable to have to put effort into something to get money
<infinisil>
I've also had people stop monthly payments because they felt bad for not doing much recently
<joepie91>
I know, I'm just not convinced that's always as free a choice as it seems
<joepie91>
I get the impression that a lot of them do it because they feel it's "only fair" even though it causes stress for them
<__monty__>
Nothing wrong with stress.
<joepie91>
there are not a lot of statements I disagree with as much as that one :)
<__monty__>
Some people need it to get anything done.
<joepie91>
pressure != stress
jasongrossman has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
<__monty__>
Stress subsumes pressure.
<infinisil>
Well for my memberships, 9 of them use monthly payments and only 2 use per-thing payment
<joepie91>
1 out of 6 in my case
<infinisil>
1 per-thing?
<joepie91>
yeah
<srhb>
This just in: Lenovo's NVME SSDs are bad.
<srhb>
Threw in a Samsung thingy, and now things are proper speedy.
<joepie91>
how so?
<srhb>
Very latency prone, poor bandwidth.
<joepie91>
huh, didn't have that problem with mine
<joepie91>
sure it's not just faulty?
<srhb>
Hard to tell, can't probe smart data on it :-P
<srhb>
Maybe that's not a thing on NVME
<joepie91>
eh...
<joepie91>
it definitely is
<joepie91>
that sounds like faulty to me
<joepie91>
might want to poke lenovo about that :P
<srhb>
Interesting!
<srhb>
I get: Read NVMe SMART/Health Information failed: NVMe Status 0x4002
<srhb>
So I guess I should. Groan. I hate RMA processes...
<joepie91>
srhb: do you have the on-site warranty?
<srhb>
denvercoder whyyy, pls tell what it was
<srhb>
I do
<joepie91>
excellent
<joepie91>
makes RMA a lot less painful lol
<srhb>
Definitely. I used it on the old one and was soooo happy I got it.
<joepie91>
I haven't needed it thankfully but I've heard good things about it
<joepie91>
and I'm quite happy to have a "no worries, will be fixed" type warranty
<srhb>
When i got the old one it had too many dead pixels, so I immediately used it for that. Was brilliant.
<joepie91>
that doesn't require shipping off my laptop for five weeks to Whereverdonia
<joepie91>
whenever something fails...
<joepie91>
that's the shittiest part of RMAs, being without the $thing for a while
<joepie91>
had that problem with my airfryer <.<
<srhb>
Yeah, don't want to live with that. :D
<joepie91>
they did fix it in the requested manner (replace the whole basket) though, and shipped it back with the Very Expensive DHL option
<joepie91>
for some reason
<srhb>
Well, neat :P
<joepie91>
I feel like they can't possibly have made any profit on me by this point
<joepie91>
>.>
<joepie91>
thing's heavy, so $ shipping, and it was cheap-ish, certainly not much margin over the original alibaba seller
<joepie91>
shipping covered both ways
<joepie91>
significant part replaced
<joepie91>
plus time spent inspecting the RMA
<joepie91>
they seem to have cleaned the inside too
<joepie91>
altogether, that probably ate up their $30 margin :D
<srhb>
Seems to happen quite a lot :-P

y'all talking about buying animes, japan's talent at ptgouging
<drakonis>
price gouging would make EA and activision execs blush
<drakonis>
expensive blurays with a few episodes each lol
<drakonis>
also all the merch
<drakonis>
then games that did lootboxes before overwatch made it a big thing

If I were to spend 300 hours for a Nix project, what would you want it to be?
<infinisil>
I'm currently thinking of a Nix debugger, or something with Nix and LSP
<andi->
Documentation for beginners? :P
<infinisil>
Preferably something technical. Would be for my bachelors thesis
<infinisil>
In computer science
<andi->
oh
<samueldr>
thesis on writing documentation for beginners?
<andi->
a debugger would be kinda nice.. Or some work on reducing memory footprint, computation required for evals... Not sure how many "long hanging fruits" are there :)
<samueldr>
(obviously teasing here)
<andi->
samueldr: I was thinking about writing that ;)
<andi->
or automating writing documentation
<infinisil>
Reduced memory footprint sounds nice, but I'm not sure how far I could get with this. This feels like the kind of work I could spend hundreds of hours trying and having nothing to show in the end
<samueldr>
yeah, I was trying to put that in words :)
<samueldr>
while things like a debugger, things that are tangible, without existing implementation might be easier to *produce* things?
<andi->
infinisil: do we have tools to show us what eats all the memory? :)
<infinisil>
andi-: I mean the nix evaluation part specifically
<infinisil>
So if a commit changes `{ foo = ...; ... }` in top-level to `{ bar = ...; ... }` it would detect that foo got removed which is not backwards compatible
<infinisil>
The good thing on doing such a thesis for Nix is that it's almost certain that nobody else did it before me :P
<infinisil>
"Reimplementing Nix in Rust" lol
<andi->
maybe do the LSP thing afterall :P
<andi->
there are already some implementations laying around
<infinisil>
Maybe I should try to join up with jD<blablabla>
<infinisil>
He's started some LSP thing
<andi->
yep
<infinisil>
But I'd have to learn Rust first
<andi->
there is also some haskell thing?!? wasn't domen working on that?
