giornata cacata per fattori multiuniversali (analisi delle mie ultime paturnie, applicate a oggi ma non solo)

giornata cacata per fattori multiuniversali (analisi delle mie ultime paturnie, applicate a oggi ma non solo)


Io, in fondo in fondo un minimo scherzavo, pazziavo, sulla storia per cui sono tremendamente distrutta oltre ogni limite dalle cose susseguentesi… un minimo, perché comunque la storia di base è assolutamente vera… eppure, oggi mi rendo conto che non ero per niente pronta per il momento in cui tutto questo sarebbe diventato reale per davvero, al di là dei miei sottili ma ampi e ben impilati strati di ironia… Ed esattamente come le mie lagne sono un combinarsi di cose per formare il racconto di esperienze assolutamente non invidiabili, questo mio progressivo sfaldamento è da imputare a fin troppi fattori combinati, quindi non c’è una singola particolare cosa che se cambiata risolvererebbe tutto. (No, neanche il dormire 13 ore in un giorno… anche se spero di comunque riuscire a fare proprio questa fine sabato!) 🐭

1, il sempre presente: Il freddo. Ormai lo sto dicendo ad nauseam, ma veramente… mi distrugge tipo da dentro, mi consuma e mi rende una persona più vuota, a fatica permettendomi di finire la giornata!!! Ed è un ciclo continuo e subdolo, seppur con un po’ di variazione da un giorno all’altro, per via di come sono strutturati i miei orari… Esco di casa e, se è mattina presto, tengo freddo (beh, in realtà anche solo a stare in casa a quell’ora fa il freddo, ma quando mai non è stato così in case di letteralmente il secolo scorso… e vaffanculo alla società di 50 anni fa che ignorava totalmente il concetto di efficienza energetica). Bisogna aspettare a più tardi, all’orario comodo di sveglia che io preferisco ma non sempre posso permettermi, per non piangere… e poi sorprendentemente si sta bene, anche fuori; addirittura oggi, non essendoci quel vento bruttissimo di giorni fa, fuori si stava proprio bene, c’era un gustoso tepore… ma anche un’escursione termica da spavento tra l’ombra e il sole, al punto che non ironicamente dovevo prepararmi mentalmente per entrare in un edificio, essendoci il portico. E poi, la sera… giuro, dal momento in cui il sole tramonta, da che sto bene inizio a fottutamente tremare; ma non fuori alla strada eh, dico proprio dentro casa (si torni al punto delle case di merda.)… NON ce la faccio!!! 🥀

Le mattine di giovedì e venerdì, specialmente, sono particolarmente traumatiche, comunque. Questo perché l’aula di merda in cui in quelle mattine ho lezione — che è merda per lo stesso motivo della casa, e infatti mi risulta sia stata costruita circa nello stesso periodo (non so come, visto che l’edificio ha la seconda numerazione più recente, ma così ci disse il prof molto vecchio l’anno scorso, ed è l’unica fonte disponibile, seppur credo una per niente affidabile… quindi non si può fare altro che credergli) — dove, a differenza delle altre aule, i climatizzatori attualmente mi risultano spenti, e l’edificio fa schifo e proprio lo percepisco come se fosse posseduto ed emettesse freddo verso dentro… ma forse sarà solo il vento gelido da fuori che entra pure con tutto chiuso, forse perché essendo per metà finestre sarà fisicamente per metà spifferi. Poi, ovviamente, non aiuta che il professore della seconda materia abbia aperto metà delle imposte per “far cambiare aria“… poi qualche decina di minuti dopo qualcuno ha chiuso almeno quelle che stavano direttamente dietro di me, però intanto il vento è entrato prepotente a rompere ancora di più l’anima; in qualche modo demoniaco e fisicamente incomprensibile riuscendo a soffiarmi pure all’altezza delle caviglie!!! 😭

Tra l’altro, stamattina mi sono pure svegliata con una gola atrocemente secca, non so perché. Durante la giornata poi mi è salito a tutti gli effetti proprio il mal di gola, con ogni tanto pure il coff coff… solo nella sera mi è sembrato un po’ meglio, ma sento comunque la gola fatta di carta vetrata fine (oh, poteva essere molto peggio… a granula grossa…). E durante il pranzo mi è venuto pure il raffreddore, o comunque qualunque cosa porti a far uscire il muco dal naso, e che palle veramente… già in primavera devo stare con questi porca puttana di fazzoletti per l’allergia; se ora a inizio ottobre già riesce fuori la merdata del muco divento una bestia. 🤧

E ok, un (1) fattore quantomeno l’ho decodificato per bene, ma non ci posso fare granché; se mi vestissi invernale già ora, sarebbero problemi. Il resto rimane poco chiaro, invece… Mi distrugge così tanto andare 5 giorni su 7 in culandia a semplicemente sentire sciroccati yappare? Perché stress vero e proprio non ne ho… o almeno, non ho motivi per pensare di starne subendo un’accumulazione; non ho esami di mezzo, sto prendendo tutto per i cazzi miei, alla fine la verità è che comunque ‘sto nel chill. Quindi, 2 e oltre: ancora boh, per ora. 😑

L’unica cosa buona della giornata, almeno, è che ho detto vaffanculo e sono andata al ristorante a pranzare (anche perché oggi in giro a quell’ora non ho intravisto nessuna persona che non mi detesta, quindi sarei stata piantata lì per niente), dunque a pranzo ho certamente goduto, e non indifferentemente… ma l’ho fatto perché già con soli 2 giorni di fila a mangiare solo pane e acqua fino a quando non arriva la cena, che è ben 7-8 ore dopo, finisco a casa che un altro po’ cado per terra — non subito, a dire il vero, ma appena cala il sole e arriva il freddo di cui sopra si — 3 volte una dietro l’altra mi sa mi sa che sono proprio un suicidio, manco fossi detenuta in un campo di lavoro forzato di uno qualsiasi dei tanti famosi paesi poco democratici esistenti nel nostro mondo… quindi bene spendere dei soldini per sopravvivere. 😇

Comunque, anche in questo c’è una cosa bizzarra: bono e saziante il pranzo, con primo e secondo, e ho speso appena 15 euro in totale, quindi non posso proprio lamentarmi… ma comunque dopo un po’ mi è salito quell'”aaaaa” di stanchezza di mezza giornata… no, non è abbiocco post-pranzo, perché quello in genere non mi viene, almeno non quando pranzo per bene. Ho fatto tutto con estrema calma, godendomi i momenti della goduria, quindi ho passato più di 1 ora al ristorante, muovendo i piedini con pazienza nell’andare e tornare, e prendendo il caffè al bar dell’università (e non alle macchinette, stavolta, vaffanculo agli stronzi ladri criminali!!!) pur di perdere altro tempo… però alla fine dei conti mi sono trovata comunque con mezz’ora bucata e nulla di particolarmente infognante da fare sul PC nel restante spicchio di pomeriggio, quindi mi è salito comunque quel sentimento di vuoto di stomaco misto a vuoto dell’anima… 😬

Inspiegabile, tutto ciò, davvero. Almeno, ora che sono a casina (cioè, da ore, come l’altra volta, poi ho avuto altro da fare), comunque la differenza con il fatto che ho pranzato veramente si vede, perché non mi sento sul punto di morte… evviva!? E in realtà, tra scrivere questo stesso post e finirne altri per il blog della stufa, ho smesso di sentirmi cacata come a prima… Aspe… miiinchia… ma vuoi vedere che, sotto sotto, il professore con l’accento siciliano ha ragione, e l’aria dell’università è realmente viziata (in tutte le aule, non solo quella di stamattina) e peggiora magicamente l’umore??? Si vede che sarebbe probabilmente il caso di abbatterli proprio, ‘sti palazzi schifosi, e fare direttamente lezione all’aperto, a questo punto, basta. 👻
Lore update:I have officially lost the plot. Idkwhat's happening anymore…Comunque, questo fatto è sempre più vero!!!

This hidden electricity drain can have a massive impact


This wasted electricity accounts for about 5% to 10% of home energy use, depending on factors like the age of the equipment, according to Alexis Abramson, dean of the Columbia Climate School.

Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste


I don't really understand this recurring theme in this context, Can someone explain to me why this is relevant?

Afaik, this isn't a discussion in my country, since most people (should) know that already.
This article triggered me, beacuse I want to lower my personal energy usage. Many companies in Europe who were energy wasteful and high energy users (like some chemical, steel, or aluminium plants) needed to close after the Russian invasion in 2022 and the then extreem high energy prices. Those that survived, are still struggling to this day.

It's good to know what we can do to reduce our own use—we all have to live on this planet, after all—but these kinds of articles pop up and, at the very least, make people think their efforts will have a meaningful impact. They go to sleep thinking they're solving the problem (barring extreme situations like war-driven scarcity, for example).

But if every household stopped using electricity, many countries would still have a massive energy problem on their hands, because households aren't really the problem.

in reply to Telorand

This.

At home we minimize energy use and stuff, especially when the Ukraine war induced energy crisis hit.

But in companies nobody turns of their PC at night. Huge TVs are constantly running playing ads to empty rooms all night.

There's a large tower in the inner city where I live and their whole fassade is wrapped in complex RGB lighting. I wrote to them to please disable that since we are in an energy crisis, and their response was (I kid you not) that their building lighting is totally eco-friendly, because one night per month they switch it to completely green light, and that reminds people to save energy, and the energy thus saved offsets anything the building lighting consumes.

And that's not even talking about all the other industrial and corporate energy wasting.

China’s Cleantech Exports Overtake US Fossil Fuel Energy Dominance with Lasting Implications


...The primary drivers of China’s clean technology export growth are batteries, followed by EVs. These technologies drive overall electrification. They also ensure that renewable energy generation can be put to use, even if output is intermittent or peak generation does not align with peak usage. Curtailment can be eliminated. The grid can become more stable, enabling further electrification. EVs shifting energy consumption away from petroleum not only allows emissions to be cut now but also sets up future reductions. By increasing the demand for electricity and creating a means to coordinate supply with demand, the next stage in renewable energy adoption is positioned to take off...

... While some countries are penalizing or blocking China’s clean technology exports (particularly the US), relatively few trade barriers exist for heavily subsidized US fossil fuel exports. However, global perspectives are shifting, with the International Court of Justice issuing a unanimous decision that fossil fuel subsidies have been “unlawful.” Not only do fossil fuel subsidies distort markets, but they also fail to consider the negative externalities of climate change that extend beyond the exporter’s borders...

...Most of China’s cleantech exports are no longer going to wealthy OECD countries. Central Europe now outpaces the EU in solar growth, with panels largely coming from China. So far this year, EV exports are up 75% to ASEAN and up a staggering 287% in Africa. These numbers may be starting from a low baseline, but these countries represent growth markets. As countries develop out of poverty, energy consumption and overall consumption will rise. Having that growth tied to cleantech will ensure the economic development is not accompanied by environmental devastation...

...While China produces 80% of solar PV modules and battery cells and 70% of electric vehicles globally, it is also by far the largest consumer of clean technology. Some will point to China also being the largest fossil fuel consumer, even though its per capita and cumulative emissions are roughly half of the US. However, the lasting effect of clean technology adoption is poised to rapidly change the country’s energy consumption. Electrification of its economy overall will enable that adoption to accelerate. That change will have economic impacts that extend for decades and provide global scale for other countries to follow...

US anti-fascism expert blocked from flying to Spain at airport


A Rutgers University professor who taught a course on anti-fascism was blocked from leaving the US for Spain on Wednesday night, according to media reports, hours after Donald Trump hosted a White House roundtable highlighting the impact of antifa – or “anti-fascist” – far-left activists.

Mark Bray, an historian who published the 2017 book Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, and has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport bound for Europe when he was informed at the boarding gate that the reservations for him and his family had been cancelled.

‘Someone’ cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second,” Bray posted on Bluesky social media. “We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’”

No details on who canceled the flight.



Italy’s Meloni says ICC complaint accuses her of Gaza genocide complicity


Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni says she has been accused of “complicity in genocide” in a complaint lodged with the International Criminal Court (ICC) over Rome’s support for Israel as it bombards Gaza.

The complaint, dated October 1, was signed by some 50 people, including law professors, lawyers, and several public figures who accused Meloni and others of complicity by supplying arms to Israel, according to the AFP news agency.

“By supporting the Israeli government, particularly through the supply of lethal weapons, the Italian government has become complicit in the ongoing genocide and the extremely serious war crimes and crimes against humanity committed against the Palestinian people,” the authors of the court filing against the Italian leaders wrote.

rooting for the guys although I don't want none of them things. I run my device without a modem on (hopefully I disabled it correctly) and I want it to run like my other shit runs - I turn it on when I want it, no doing shit in the background nobody asked it to, syncing to the clown, none of that.

the results are awesome - I get like days of standby out of a severely degraded battery that can't manage a whole day under android. still, I understand that other people need this stuff. for me, SMS and calls utilizing the utterly broken, insecure, and definitely compromised telecom infra shouldn't be a thing in 2025.

Will there ever be an app ecosystem for Linux phones. I don't see how could happen. I'm talking actual apps like banking or payment systems. Institutional software such as government apps that requires a stable platform. Not a janky Linux system that is prone to breakage every few updates or scatter across different distros. Seems like the year of the linux desktop meme could end up morphing into the year of the linux phone.
in reply to OctopusNemeses

Why can't we just use banking websites? You don't need an app ecosystem for that. They just need to build a responsive website that will work on a computer or phone. If you have bank to bank transfer (like e-transfer in Canada) that can be done from the mobile website as well.

Payment like NFC payment is a different story. I suspect its unlikely we ever see that.

in reply to Hazematman

Exactly. And as I said in another comment, you can make a wrapper for it if their website is not the most mobile-friendly. Any browser can handle everything beneath the skin.
in reply to Hazematman

Banks sometimes need a 2FA app, this is what some people need "banking apps" for. The bank website itself is trivial to just use, but you need to be able to log in. In sweden, much of society, from fetching a post package to booking an appointment with a doctor or getting a bus ticket, relies on this 2FA app. You can barely function in society without this app.
in reply to pmk

I wish everyone would just switch to standard OTPs
in reply to pmk

It's unfortunate that sweden decided to lock 2FA behind proprietary smartphone apps.

For every country its going to be a different story. I think instead of trying to build an app ecosystem for things like bank apps on linux it would be easier for citizens of those countries to convince the government / banks to allow other 2FA methods like OTPs that can work on any a device using an OTP client. That would honestly benefit more people as whole since they wouldn't be lock down to just Android/Apple or even owning a smartphone. They could do all their important government/finance stuff just with a computer.

in reply to OctopusNemeses

Well, they all have standard web interfaces, and so many apps are merely wrappers for it or a rebuilt front-end. On a Linux device one would presume you’ll have a standard web browser so all you need really is a wrapper for the website and the browser engine handles all security. Is there any reason not to just go that route?

Do you think there are ethical uses of AI video generation in politics?


Obviously AI generated images and videos are already being used in politics, generally as far as I've seen by right wingers.

A thought I had would be to flip the table and generate AI videos of Trump attacking right wingers for being too far right, too racist, not supporting trans or LGBT+ rights, etc, in ways that are guised as old school conservative values. Like the "The govt shouldn't be interfering in a private citizen's healthcare choices" type stuff.

His supports seem the type already to believe AI videos are real, so do you think stuff like that would work or just circle in left wing groups and never take off among his worshipers? If they did spread, would they even be effective in triggering his base to push back towards the center?



ICE is detaining children with their families beyond limit set by federal judge


Immigration authorities are detaining hundreds of children for longer than the 20 days allowed by a federal judge, a Scripps News investigation has learned.

Scripps News obtained a document filed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement under a federal court order that shows more than 600 juveniles held in ICE custody at some point in July.

The children are being arrested and detained with their families while going through lengthy deportation proceedings. Many of the juveniles end up at the South Texas Family Residential Center, a sprawling site located in Dilley, Texas, that reopened in March.

The detention center is owned and operated by CoreCivic, a for-profit company contracting with ICE to hold immigrants.

LibreWolf wants to compete with Mullvad and Tor?


When I see people talking about LibreWolf, it’s always loved or hated.

People who hate it complain that it either requires too much configuration to be usable (because of the strict default settings) or that you should just use Mullvad (whether for real reasons or just better marketing about privacy).

People who love it (including me) see it as what Firefox should be: community‑driven and user‑first. However, I believe people using LibreWolf as their main browser (like me) does so only because they’ve tweaked the settings - allowing browsing‑history, password saving, manually adding cookie exceptions for sites they want to stay logged into, etc.

Out of the box, LibreWolf seems to be trying to compete with Mullvad and Tor as a hardcore privacy‑first browser (although letterboxing isn’t default). But can it really do that?
I’m not saying it can’t on a technical level (which I’m in no way qualified to judge), but Mullvad is a huge company and Tor is a very mature project. I’ve read a bunch of guides and watched people talking about privacy browsers, and I never saw anyone recommending LibreWolf over Mullvad or Tor when you want to browse sensitive content or use an online identity you don’t want easily linked to your main one.

Aren’t LibreWolf fans using it as their main daily‑use browser? From what I see (and I don’t know how aligned this is with the project itself or the rest of the user base), LibreWolf is an alternative to Chrome, Firefox, and especially Brave. It’s a truly community‑driven project focused on privacy, prioritizing the user, and not involved in shady business like Brave.

So, when I recommend LibreWolf to people, I suggest it as a substitute for Brave. Out of the box, though, it feels like it’s trying to be an alternative to Mullvad/Tor instead.

i suspect that librewolf will go the same way firefox does as the world switches to chromium/chrome based browsing.

doing so gives google more control of the web like using android gave it control over mobile developers.

in reply to PiraHxCx

LibreWolf is FireFox that is prehardened. I tell people how important that getting off chromium is for the open web. But regular Firefox has too much crap between the AI features and there are so many malicious websites that just need extra protection anyway.


Trump’s war on the left: Inside the plan to investigate liberal groups


WASHINGTON, Oct 9 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's threatened crackdown on the finances and activities of liberal non-profits and groups opposed to his agenda is a multi-agency effort with top White House aide Stephen Miller playing a central role, according to officials.
The Trump administration plans to deploy America's counter-terrorism apparatus - including the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department - as well as the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department against certain left-wing groups it accuses of funding and organizing political violence, the officials said.
The effort marks an escalation in the administration's efforts to target domestic opponents, raising alarm among civil rights groups and Democratic leaders about the use of executive power.

Head of largest US bank warns of risk of American stock market crash


Jamie Dimon, who is the chair and chief executive of the giant Wall Street bank JPMorgan Chase, said he was “far more worried than others” about a serious market correction, which he predicted could come in the next six months to two years.

“I would give it a higher probability than I think is probably priced in the market and by others,” he told the BBC. “So if the market’s pricing in 10%, I would say it is more like 30%.”

Dimon added there were a “lot of things out there” creating an atmosphere of uncertainty, pointing to risks including the geopolitical environment, fiscal spending and the remilitarisation of the world.

“All these things cause a lot of issues that we don’t know how to answer,” he said. “So I say the level of uncertainty should be higher in most people’s minds than what I would call normal.”

The comments are the latest in a string of warnings that stock markets may be due a correction.



Marwan Barghouti secretly removed from prisoner list by Israel, source says


The Israeli prime minister's office unilaterally removed Marwan Barghouti's name from the prisoner exchange list at the last minute, endangering the Gaza ceasefire deal's implementation, a source close to the prominent Palestinian prisoner told Middle East Eye.

Barghouti, who is the most popular Palestinian political figure according to polls, was one of the most valuable names to potentially be traded for the 48 Israeli captives in Gaza.

A source close to Barghouti and his family told MEE that last night mediators including US envoy Steve Witkoff signed off on a prisoner list that included Barghouti.

For a moment I thought this time Bibi might be changing direction to play the peacemaker and hostage-returner. I wondee if Hamas would try to outflank him by releasing the hostages anyway so they can then use Israel's uncooperation against them. That would significantly increase the pressure on Israel externally and internally by killing a main piece of the victim narrative.
Questa voce è stata modificata (2 settimane fa)
in reply to Avid Amoeba

There is not really any card Hamas can play. Israel is allowed to genocide all Palestinians with full support of the West.

And Israel will gladly kill all the captives in Palestinian custody with full support of the Israeli public.

When faced with the West which has absolutely zero morals the dilemma becomes very tough.

in reply to IndustryStandard

If Israel doesn't care about killing the Israeli hostages, then the hostages do not serve as any leverage for Hamas. But they are used as an important piece for the machine manufacturing consent for the genocide. So that changes the calculus on keeping them hostage I think. I think you're right that Israel would gladly kill 'em. So releasing them could throw a significant wrench into the machine I think. Discontent in Europe is growing and Israel can be significantly harmed economically should the EU take action. Doesn't that make some sense?
in reply to Avid Amoeba

I think they already have killed hostages (Israelis). I'm pretty sure it's literally something they openly do.

I'm not disputing that. In fact I'm taking it as a given and reasoning towards the implications.
in reply to Avid Amoeba

Israel has proven to be the leader of Europe and America fully in control of their politicians. The amount of discontent of the public is irrelevant and is ignored. Likewise they own the Western media which will gladly publish any angle Israel wishes. So there is no counting on the West to do anything except send more weapons and money to Israel. Hamas likely hoped that there was a semblance of humanity in the West to pressure Israel but that does not exist.
in reply to IndustryStandard

Hostages situation in the bank? Let's bomb the bank for 2 years! I'm smart. I'm israeli.

FreeTube + Customized MPV: Guide to a Temporary Solution


Introduction


So, FreeTube is broken and you want to watch YouTube on your desktop without using the YouTube site or embed. If you have mpv installed and want to use that, this guide is for you.

Note: This guide does NOT work with the Flatpak version of FreeTube!

Getting YT Links to open in MPV


First, we need to set MPV as a video player in FreeTube. Since FreeTube has support for external players, this is what we will use.

  1. Open Settings
  2. Under External Player, select mpv from the dropdown list.

Below the dropdown is Custom External Player Arguments. Here are the recommended ones I use:
- --fs: Automatically opens the video in fullscreen.
- --ytdl-raw-options=format="(bestvideo[height<=X]+bestaudio/best)": Gets the best audio and best video and combines them. Video resolution is no larger than X. Example resolutions include 720, 1080, 1440, 2160. I personally use 720, but you use whatever your bandwith allows.

Install Recommended MPV plugins


By itself, mpv is pretty barebones. It's missing a few features that FreeTube has, such as sponsorblock or media controls. Below are the following plugins that solve these issues. I won't include the install directions for these as these will differ for each distro, but the main installation point should be either ~/.config/mpv/scripts (Current User) or /usr/share/mpv/scripts (All Users).

mpv-sponsorblock: github.com/TheCactusVert/mpv-s…


This Rust implementation of sponsorblock works well with MPV. A few things to note:
1. Segments do not display on the timeline. However, automatic skipping does work.
2. To edit what type of segments are skipped, follow the Configuration section in the repo, and edit your sponsorblock.toml file in ~/.config/mpv.

Here is what I personally use:

# Categories: sponsor, selfpromo, interaction, poi_highlight, intro, outro, preview, music_offtopic, filler, exclusive_access
categories = ["sponsor", "interaction", "music_offtopic"]
# Action types: skip, mute, poi, full

mpv-mpris: github.com/hoyon/mpv-mpris


This plugin displays media controls for MPV on KDE Plasma and GNOME. By default, MPV lacks the MPRIS D-Bus interface used by programs such as playerctl to provide media controls and information.
- mpv-mpris has a package in the Arch repos (Extra). Note that this will install to /usr/share/mpv/scripts instead.

Setup Recommended Keyboard Shortcuts


MPV is looking pretty good now, however there are some small tweaks we can make to the default keyboard shortcuts. My main gripe with mpv is the UP/DOWN arrows are set to seek 1 minute and * and / (Numpad) control volume. Let's fix that.

  1. Copy the default input.conf file for mpv to ~/.config/mpv. This file should be located in /usr/share/doc/mpv, but depending on how you install mpv, this may differ.
    $ cp /usr/share/doc/mpv/input.conf ~/.config/mpv
  2. Edit this file with your preferred text editor and add the following to the end:
    UP    add volume  2                         # Increase volume by 2%
    DOWN  add volume -2                         # Decrease volume by 2%

This will rebind your UP/DOWN arrow keys to volume controls. Change the value to whatever your want. If you want to match FreeTube's volume controls, set the values to 5 and -5.

Some additional shortcuts to know about for MPV:


  • i: Show debug info (Similar to View Stats in YT)
  • o: Show current video progress
  • Menu: Show the menu key. Useful for accessing playlist menu.
    • Usually the Square with 3 horizontal lines in the middle.
    • Some keyboards lack this button.


  • [: Decrease video speed by 10%
    • Use Shift to decrease by 50%


  • ]: Increase video speed by 10%
    • Use Shift to increase by 50%


  • Backspace: Reset video speed to 100%
  • m: Mute audio
  • Page Up: Go to next chapter
  • Page Down: Go to previous chapter
  • q: Quit MPV
  • >/Enter: Play next video in playlist
  • <: Play previous video in playlist
    • For these two, you need to press and hold Shift with them. The exception is Enter.



Wrap-Up


And thats the setup. I hope you enjoy this temporary setup until FreeTube gets fixed. It takes some time to setup, but once it is, you can use it anywhere. You can even use it with just yt-dlp if you want.

This guide might work with Celluloid. I personally don't use it, but you can try if you want to.

If there are any issues with this guide, let me know!___

EDIT: Added Flatpak FreeTube warning

EDIT 2: Updated debug keybind. D was for interlace, not debug.

Watching videos has been broken for a few weeks. On the 24th of Sep they mentioned that they'd identified a potential cause, but since then there haven't been any updates. They typically aren't super communicative and tend to lock down posts because of the huge surge of duplicate bug reports and unhelpful comments they get whenever this happens. So the silence is not that unusual, but it has been slightly longer than usual for an update.

Might be something with upstream? Just speculation on my part. Wish they would post some type of update.


Norway braces for Trump’s reaction if he does not win Nobel peace prize


With hours to go until the announcement of this year’s Nobel peace prize, Norwegian politicians were steeling themselves for potential repercussions to US-Norway relations if it is not awarded to Donald Trump.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee pointedly said on Thursday that it had reached a decision about who will be named 2025 peace prize laureate on Monday, several days before Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire under the US president’s Gaza plan.

Taking into account the timeframe and the composition of the independent five-person committee, most Nobel experts and Norwegian observers believe it is highly unlikely that Trump will be awarded the prize, leading to fears in the country over how he will react to being overlooked so publicly.

in reply to geneva_convenience

If you're worried that someone not getting the peace prize will have retaliation from that person and the country they lead, then they really don't deserve the peace prize.

Looking for a new place...


I used to use gaytorrents. They have the content and forums and it’s a nice little community. However, it’s suspicious they aren’t trying to prepare for the censorship hitting all other adult sites. They flat out stated in the forums they will not adopt i2p or tor or any other darknet and will start using age verification/start banning IP ranges when requested. If we don’t like it, we are told to just use a VPN.

This is an incredibly dumb response.

So I need to plan my migration away while there is still enough open conversation to discover new places. My state already bans porn unless we hand over our IDs to be handled irresponsibly/given to identity thieves/added to a list of undesirable people they want to toss into a gas chamber.

Under this regime, I’m not giving that out. Fuck them.

So where can I go now?

in reply to technocrit

A VPN doesn’t solve the problem. I would be paying for a stall at best, and one that has no way of knowing for sure they don’t keep logs or aren’t compromised. Look at what happened with Ovano back when Facebook bought them then lied about it.
in reply to muusemuuse

Some VPNs have a long record of doing their best not to collect any data and have audits from reputable cybersecurity companies. Examples are Mullvad VPN, IVPN , ProtonVPN , AirVPN.

Scientists Completed a Toxicity Report on This Forever Chemical. The EPA Hasn’t Released It.


This spring, scientists at the Environmental Protection Agency completed a report on the toxicity of a “forever chemical” called PFNA, which is in the drinking water systems serving some 26 million people. The assessment found that PFNA interferes with human development by causing lower birth weights and, based on animal evidence, likely causes damage to the liver and to male reproductive systems, including reductions in testosterone levels, sperm production and the size of reproductive organs.

The report also calculated the amount of PFNA that people could be exposed to without being harmed — a critical measurement that can be used to set limits for cleaning up PFNA contamination in Superfund sites and for removing the chemical from drinking water.

For months, however, the report has sat in limbo, raising concerns among some scientists and environmentalists that the Trump administration might change it or not release it at all.



Federal court to weigh Trump's deployment of National Guard troops in Chicago area


President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Illinois faces legal scrutiny Thursday at a pivotal court hearing, a day after a small number of troops began protecting federal property in the Chicago area.

U.S. District Judge April Perry will hear arguments over a request to block the deployment of Illinois and Texas Guard members. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and local officials strongly oppose the use of the Guard.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses


Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's attack on ICE-spotting apps.


Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses


Apple removed an app for preserving TikToks, Instagram reels, news reports, and videos documenting abuses by ICE, 404 Media has learned. The app, called Eyes Up, differs from other banned apps such as ICEBlock which were designed to report sightings of ICE officials in real-time to warn local communities. Eyes Up, meanwhile, was more of an aggregation service pooling together information to preserve evidence in case the material is needed in the future in court.

The news shows that Apple and Google’s crackdown on ICE-spotting apps, which started after pressure from the Department of Justice against Apple, is broader in scope than apps that report sightings of ICE officials. It has also impacted at least one app that was more about creating a historical record of ICE’s activity during its mass deportation effort.

“Our goal is government accountability, we aren’t even doing real-time tracking,” the administrator of Eyes Up, who said their name was Mark, told 404 Media. Mark asked 404 Media to only use his first name to protect him from retaliation. “I think the [Trump] admin is just embarrassed by how many incriminating videos we have.”

💡
Do you work at Apple or Google and know anything else about these app removals? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.

Mark said the app was removed on October 3. At the time of writing, the Apple App Store says “This app is currently not available in your country or region” when trying to download Eyes Up.

The website for Eyes Up which functions essentially the same way is still available. The site includes a map with dots that visitors can click on, which then plays a video from that location. Users are able to submit their own videos for inclusion. Mark said he manually reviews every video before it is uploaded to the service, to check its content and its location.

“I personally look at each submission to ensure that it's relevant, accurately described to the best I can tell, and appropriate to post. I actually look at the user submitted location and usually cross-reference with [Google] Street View to verify. We have an entire private app just for moderation of the submissions,” Mark said.



Screenshots of Eyes Up.

The videos available on Eyes Up are essentially the same you might see when scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or X. They are a mix of professional media reports and user-generated clips of ICE arrests. Many of the videos are clearly just re-uploads of material taken from those social media apps, and still include TikTok or Instagram watermarks. Mark said the videos are also often taken from Reddit or the community- and crime-awareness app Citizen too.

Many of the videos from New York are footage of ICE officials aggressively detaining people inside the city’s courts, something ICE has been doing for months. Another is a video from the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), which represents more than 200 immigrant and refugee rights groups. Another is an Instagram video showing ICE taking “a mother as her child begs the officers not to take her,” according to a caption on the video. The map includes similar videos from San Diego, Los Angeles, and Portland, Oregon, which are clearly taken from TikTok or media reports, including NBC News.

“Our goal is to preserve evidence until it can be used in court, and we believe the mapping function will make it easier for litigants to find bystander footage in the future,” Mark said.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, told 404 Media “Like any other government agency, DHS is required to follow the law. The collection of video evidence is a powerful tool of oversight to ensure that the government respects the rights of citizens and immigrants alike. People have a right to film interactions with law enforcement in public spaces and to share those videos with others.”

“If DHS is concerned that the actions of their own officers might inflame public opinion against the agency, they should work to increase oversight and accountability at the agency — rather than seek to have the evidence banned,” he added.

Apple removed ICEBlock, another much more prominent app, on Thursday from its App Store. The move came after direct pressure from Department of Justice officials acting at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to Fox. A statement the Department of Justice provided to 404 Media said the agency reached out to Apple “demanding they remove the ICEBlock app from their App Store—and Apple did so.” Fox says authorities have claimed that Joshua Jahn, the suspected shooter of an ICE facility in September in which a detainee was killed, searched his phone for various tracking apps before attacking the facility.

Joshua Aaron, the developer of ICEBlock, told 404 Media “we are determined to fight this.”

ICEBlock allowed people to create an alert, based on their location, about ICE officials in their area. This then sent an alert to other users nearby.

Apple also removed another similar app called Red Dot, 404 Media reported. Google did the same thing, and described ICE officials as a vulnerable group. Apple also removed an app called DeICER.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
Yet, Eyes Up differs from those apps in that it does not function as a real-time location reporting app.

Apple did not respond to a request for comment on Wednesday about Eyes Up’s removal.

Mark provided 404 Media with screenshots of the emails he received from Apple. In the emails, Apple says Eyes Up violates the company’s guidelines around objectionable content. That can include “Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups, particularly if the app is likely to humiliate, intimidate, or harm a targeted individual or group. Professional political satirists and humorists are generally exempt from this requirement.”

The emails also say that law enforcement have provided Apple with information that shows the purpose of the app is “to provide location information about law enforcement officers that can be used to harm such officers individually or as a group.”

The emails are essentially identical to those sent to the developer of ICEBlock which 404 Media previously reported on.

In an appeal to the app removal, Mark told Apple “the posts on this app are significantly delayed and subject to manual review, meaning the officers will be long gone from the location by the time the content is posted to be viewed by the public. This would make it impossible for our app to be used to harm such officers individually or as a group.”

“The sole purpose of Eyes Up is to document and preserve evidence of abuses of power by law enforcement, which is an important function of a free society and constitutionally protected,” Mark’s response adds.

Apple then replied and said the ban remains in place, according to another email Mark shared.

The app is available on Google's Play Store.

Update: this piece has been updated to include comment from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick.

Why can’t this be a web app that uses web notifications? Why does it even need to be an on-device app? That’s building in a vulnerability that doesn’t need to be there.

Make it a site.
Go to the site.
Pin the site.
Allow notifications from site.
Done.

Yes, Apple and Google are in the wrong, but why are we relying on them for this at all? Not everything needs to be a fucking app.

in reply to Dr. Moose

This isn’t a tech illiteracy issue. Sure you CAN take a video, and upload it to archive.org from your phone.

Try doing that while actively being abused by ICE.

It’s about making the process as foolproof as possible, because seconds matter here, and making sure that footage is backed up as quickly as possible is paramount.

in reply to Dr. Moose

Nope, you’re conflating tech illiteracy with failing to meet the needs of the use case. Hope that helps!
in reply to technocrit

Stuff like this is why Google wants to restrict sideloading to "verified developers" only.
Even if an app like this isn't distributed through Google Play, they could disable the developer's account for any vague "abuse" reason.

in reply to onehundredsixtynine

It's really an issue with companies, not software.

If you use corporate crap, that's on you.

in reply to onehundredsixtynine

Yeah, my favorite is when they figure out what features people are willing to pay for and then paywal everything that makes an app useful.

And after they monetize that fully and realize that the money is not endless, they switch to a subscription model. So that they can have you pay for your depreciating crappy software forever.

But at least you know it kind of works while you’re paying for it. It takes way too much effort to find some other unknown piece of software for the same function, and it is usually performs worse than what you had until the developers figure out how to make the features work again before putting it behind a paywall and subscription model again again.

But along the way, everyone gets to be miserable from the users to the developers and the project managers. Everyone except of course, the shareholders Because they get to make money, no matter how crappy their product, which they don’t use anyway, becomes.

A great recent example of this is Plex. It used to be open source and free, then it got more popular and started developing other features, and I asked people to pay reasonable amount for them.

After it got more popular and easy to use and set up, they started jacking up the prices, removing features and forcing people to buy subscriptions.

Your alternative now is to go back to a less fully featured more difficult to set up but open source alternative and something like Jellyfin. Except that most people won’t know how to set it up, there are way less devices and TVs will support their software, and you can’t get it to work easily for your technologically illiterate family and or friends.

So again, Your choices are stay with a crappy commercialized money-grubbing subscription based product that at least works and is fully featured for now until they decide to stop. Or, get a new, less developed, more difficult to set up, highly technical, and less supported product that’s open source and hope that it doesn’t fall into the same pitfalls as its user base and popularity grows.
