@cowanon I don't know who that is. Am I supposed to care?

@j No they're not, cause I'm not living in UK or USA.

@PinochetsCommieCopter
Is he actually an illegal immigrant? I'd rather trolls not use this as the new swatting, calling ICE on people who are citizens just to scare the fuck out of them. I don't want troll false reportings to end up being used as ammo against deporting criminals out of a nation.

@coolboymew @j I'm getting the same repetitive issue in Europe, but I just assumed the ad market is small here, so there won't be much variety. And since US is bigger, this particular issue with internet ads might be just localized here. But maybe it's more common than I though.

@j
Step 1. Adblock
Step 2. Watch via mpv
Step 3. Download via yt-dlp
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Profit

They really don't seem to get it. The reason people do all this is because the ads they serve have become more obnoxious, more intrusive, and more stupid than TV ads. (not to mention the borderline illegal or scam ones).
I do remember the days when I was using an adblock extension, but I consciously chose to disable it for YouTube because the ads were tolerable, and I appreciated the site for what it offered.

I know what they could actually do to force people to watch ads, but it seems they're still too stupid to figure it out or implement it. They need to directly inject the ads into the video stream.

@VD15 And this is why I'll never touch Warhammer.

Great job. Now he reminds me of Onision. And I had to go digging a bit to remember that name. One of the OG internet creeps.

@Nepiant @j
I know the feeling. Which is why I sometimes try to lead by example. Can't say I've been too successful in changing how others interact though.

@Nepiant @j
So is that where the world is right now? If a response is too long, it must be AI? Humanity is doomed.
Glad it helped though.

@0461fcbecc4c3374439932d6b8f11269ccdb7cc973ad7a50ae362db135a474dd Dead internet theory?

@Nepiant @j
Well, apparently MPEG-5 is actually a new(ish) video codec standard, but it hasn't been used anywhere so far, and there's probably no real plan for anyone to use it anytime soon.
So the joke might be that he's encoding stuff in a codec that you might not even be able to play back.

Another part of the joke might be related to the "baseline" part. A description from the only encoder that might exist so far:
"The "Baseline profile" contains only technologies that are older than 20 years or otherwise freely available for use in the standard".
This makes it sound like baseline doesn't actually feature anything unique to MPEG5, and other more mainstream codecs could perform the same thing as MPEG5 baseline.
So in other words, he'd be encoding in an obscure codec, but doing it in a way where he won't even gain any benefit from it. It would be like a technological oxymoron, if I understood this correctly.

Tell me you're a moron, without telling me you're a moron.

Being a vegan I understand, and can respect up to a point. But the PETA-like nonsense... nah fam. Those people deserve hell.

And China also claims it's democratic.
This feels like praising Canada for manufacturing cheap medicine, when they don't do the actual research, and just get the recipe from USA after American labs invested all the money to do the research.

I'll keep saying this as long as it's needed. We already know China steals technology in pretty much any domain possible. Who knows how much western code they stole and analyzed to help them make their own model, not to mention how even more shady tactics they likely employed to train it.
Time will tell, maybe they're legit, maybe they're not. But China doesn't have a good track record.

@Mitsu Clearly he hasn't been reading enough hentai.

@leespringfield1903
>Biden tried to kill Putin
Well obviously. We already know Ukraine had several attempts at bombing stuff in Russia. What, you thought they did that by their own without US help?

@j LIES! The incest part, the video seems pretty cool.

@rasterman Never played them, but they never seemed to be brilliant per say. More like the adventure game equivalent of Call of Duty. Fun enough to shut of your brain for a while, but not enough to get people properly invested. I don't think there are communities dedicating to speedrunning them, doing challange runs, modding them, or the various other things people do with games they love.

@j Hungry fella ain't he.

@j I think it depends on which behavior will be reinforced by caretakers, but especially visitors.
If the microwave parrots are ignored by people visiting the zoo, and everyone reacts and interacts with the swearing parrots (even if it's to say "bad parrot, how could you say such a thing!", it's not like the birds will know they're being reprimanded. Any attention will be positive for them) they you get 100 swearing parrots.
