Why is tmdb better than trakt for you? I don’t know much about either service.

He got the wrong ideas from all these god emporer memes back in the day.

What I am trying to say is written right there, I didn’t say anything you are alluding to.

It is because Covid is considered endemic. Meaning it is here, infecting humans and it is here to stay. We also have treatments, they may not work for everyone, but that’s also normal.

The bird flu is not endemic. The name kind of says it, its still mostly in birds. The reason why people focus on a single case in humans is that such an event could trigger the broad adaptation of the virus to humans (zoonosis).

Right now the virus has low potential to get transmitted, because it has not yet adapted to humans. If this happens, it could very well trigger the next pandemic.

And if you were unhappy about how fast the Coronavirus could mutate over the course of pandemic… well then get ready for worse since Influenza viruses whole deal is about mutating and recombining their transcripts.

So yes, there is a reason people focus so much on this one case.

Tourists:

They have no reason to change that. They will long term want the exact same thing that twitter has, access to all user data and control of the platform.

So why does the official site not allow direct downloads? Why do we need projects like yt-dlp to download? Why is YouTube constantly changing so that yt-dlp and others need to keep up to keep being able to download?

Edit: and with that explanation nothing would be piracy?

Ah yeah, I get what you mean. But basically anything where people cannot directly download a video but have to resort to some additional software to download the video, that’s basically piracy.

Now some people won’t know about yt-dlp and the sorts, so they maybe even do go for torrents, again, why not? If you are such a fan of Mr. Beast (no judgement here) and that dude has surely hundreds if not thousands of videos by now, a torrent could include all of a series of his videos that you are interested in. So it is actually then more convenient to torrent them instead of downloading them one by one.

Tldr different people have different interests and usecases

Why tf not. Videos get deleted at times. Or for offline watching. Lots of reasons really.

You know who. ChatGPT.

At some point those numbers mean nothing anymore. What then? Maybe we are already there.

OK, I admit I read too much into your post. Sorry about that!

Look, I completely sympathise, but your point of view here is “because I am inconvenienced, everyone needs to adjust for me”. How many people are affected by this?

If you are in need of masking other people sounds while eating, you can surely bring your own music and headphones and whatever to support you.

So, sorry, but I am with OP here. Loud music in public places such as restaurants is annoying.

Sounds fair to me

Ya, maybe like on seats with, dunno, belts?

Wait till you try 'n’cheese!

There are always the high seas…

I like your optimism that by naming said candidate you would influence anyone!

Then the machine may just as well adjust your vote without you ever knowing about it.
