Not to mention if everyone started doing it, they would just train AI to do it also, and it would only be giving data to train AI with. That’s why I think most data poisoning strategies are pointless. One exception might be to try to include a spelling mistake somewhere that doesn’t make a comment too confusing, sometihng that could easily be a typing mistake. LLM’s are basically spellcheck² and never make spelling mistakes unless explicitly told to or trained that way. If I see a spelling error, I know it’s more likely to be human.

as mentioned in another comment, yt-dlp works great. there are graphical versions of it that i haven’t used. i use it on linux but it has a windows version too. full discolosure, i haven’t used it to download videos in awhile, i mostly use it for music, so this info might be outdated.

the basic premise is you find the video you want to download, copy the URL, paste it into the yt-dlp program and it downloads the video.

there are a ridiculous amount of options however, the github might seem intimidating if you aren’t a programmer or very tech savvy. there are plenty of better written tutorials online. once you get it to work, it’s easy after that.

if you are in the U.S. try pornhub, xvideos, xnxx, xhamster or tblop. the ID requirements vary from state to state, so if the first 4 don’t work, keep trying off tblop until one is found. there’s also streaming archivers like archivebate and peachterbate.

one last thought, if you don’t have ublock origin, get it. if you have it, make sure to go into the options and check the all the ‘annoyances’ boxes. i think it removes the ‘we need a picture of your id’ messages on a few sites.

yt-dlp no longer works on youtube for me personally. i’ve read about workarounds but they are too advanced for me to understand.

however, it works fine on every porn site i have tried so far.

The fear of missing out is something that used to worry me. Having been an avid proponant of the good videogames can do and having spent obscene amounts of time on them and basing almost my entire social life around them, it was not easy for me to quit.

So I didn’t technically quit exactly. My full new year’s resolution was to “quit watching tv and movies, and quit playing videogames, until improving my life considerably.” It’s easier to say it the way I did in my previous comment.

This way, it’s not so much that I actually quit for all time, it’s that I’ve stopped temporarily to focus on learning and self improvement, hoping I will be able to change my circumstances for the better and live a more stable life before going back to gaming as a sort of reward.

I built my own PC, a tower with a 16 core 32 thread cpu, 128 gb of ram, 16 gb of vram and i make sure to keep it cold enough to handle playing minesweeper on expert.

i’m kidding, i quit gaming in 2020 as a new years resolution.

To expand on this thought, I take broken electronics and make what I call art from them. They already come with neat patterns and colors, some surfaces are dull, some are shiny, they have the added effect of generating shadows with their shapes and can easily be modified in various ways. I’m sure there’s probably copyright issues and health hazards so I’m unlikely to ever put it out on display but I feel they add a sort of dirty cyberpunk look to my apartment. For an example, this is my “Love bug” that hangs out on top of my desktop tower, offering its broken hearts to whomever wants it. Made from a broken GTX 7800. https://i.imgur.com/ySS3fes.jpeg

I’ve never been to it before but was planning on it this year. Just my luck that I made commitments already which I can’t cancel.

Not that anyone asked for this line from my .bash_aliases but I hope it comes in handy for someone:

Saying ‘prevention of theft’ is a poor suggestion on my end and an incorrect depiction of his motives and usage of Soulseek. I can’t say for sure really, he passed away in 2021 so I’ll never know his motives. I tried to think of a reason why someone might mark something private and that’s what I ended up with. I probably should have thought this through better.

He used a lot of samples for his music using multitracks, the releases from artists meant specifically for remixing and sampling and I believe searching for multitracks from lesser known artists was his main use for Soulseek, basically networking, not piracy, and that he also had poor file and project management?

I’m not sure how to convey the connection that I saw in my head. I probably should have left this post alone.

A friend of mine kept all his music in the same folder, including music he created. Prevention of theft might be a reason to mark as music, although this is a very niche use case.

First thought is: Chloroform Girl - Polkadot Cadaver

Warning, the lyrics might be disturbing.

Second thought is: The Postal Service - Brand New Colony

The latter is from an album that paints a picture of most likely an incel, desperate to win back their former lover with a happy carefree sound and attitude, a mask hiding their inner pain with lyrics that hint at the singer being an obsessed stalker with plans to kidnap.

Quod Libet can do 1 and 3 for sure, I think it can do #2 but I’m not positive. I don’t have a music collection with very many albums that have multiple tracks. You can pick and choose which metadata columns show up for your library and sort by whatever you want, including creating your own but that’s outside my expertise. It can do bulk renaming too.

I was using Clementine for awhile, then because of a lack of updates and some other minor issues, I switched to Strawberry which is a fork of Clementine. It added some neat features but lost a few too. After using a dozen or so different players, I found Quod Libet just works like I want it to.

The way I listen to music is to dump all my files into a single folder called “music”, then do shuffle, repeat all. I was in the process of moving my files to a new storage and moved the folder around a few times. Just had to update the library with a scan, took like 10 seconds.

I also have it set up to automatically resume playing from where it left off. One of the options is then queue autosave interval, which does the resume from where you left off. It’s enabled by default I believe. You can set it to autosave every second if you want but to use less system resources, I stick with the default of 60 and I think it saves on shutdown/restart too. I’ve never noticed it NOT resume from where I left off.

It has a plugin system to add features but otherwise it starts off very bare bones. You add plugins to basically build your own player the way you want it. That means it can be a bit of work to initially setup. While that sounds like a pain, the amount of time I’ve spent in Quod Libet’s settings is a tiny fraction of the amount of time I spent messing with Clementine and Strawberry’s options, as well as other players. It’s probably the music player I’ve seen the GUI for the least in my entire life, as a ratio to how much music I’ve listened to with it.

True, it can be tricky for certain things. I suggested it because it fits the OP’s a) and b) points better than anything else I could think of. The different versions of it can vary a lot too. Bionicpup worked great on my old eeepc, a netbook with a single core 32 bit cpu, but didn’t do well on anything newer. Focal Fossa has worked without issue on everything I tried it on. I wouldn’t use either as my main OS, but it can be fun on a secondary system. I kept mine in the bathroom until the humidity from showering likely wrecked it.

Set up a flash drive with puppy linux. It’s relatively easy to do (depending on how much you already know about Linux) and is mostly risk-free (but you can still do damage so always use caution) because it runs entirely in RAM and shouldn’t mess with the internal storage drive unless you tell it to. You can use it to copy any desired files without booting Windows and it will probably run on that machine better than Windows ever did. I think that has a 64 bit CPU but there are 32 bit versions floating around the internet if it doesn’t. I’ve seen Puppy Linux versions advertised as being 'so easy your grandma can do it. One project of mine that was fun was creating a Puppy Arcade, a usb flash drive filled with emulators and ROMS but I had issues with some emulators.

That’s a conspiracy? I thought it was generally accepted as truth and part of the risks of working with that one person…

That reminds me of a conspiracy theory about Jim Carey being a serial killer who murdered pro wrestler Chris Benoit: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1585159586960486401.html

No celebrity or famous person has commited suicide by hanging. Their death is actually from one of these two scenarios:

1. A hitman who is known by government officials hangs the victim and makes it appear to be a suicide. The victim is either an enemy to some nefarious government agency or legislation plan (Aaron Swartz), it might be done as a way to make the victim appear dead while actually giving them a way out of their situation, so that they can create a new identity (Epstein), it could include famous celebrities who simply do not wish to perform anymore (Robin Williams) or perhaps were cancelled or fired for having knowledge they were threatening to reveal (Anthony Bourdain). Either way, this assassin is capable of infiltrating prisons and hospitals and knows how to manipulate the media and government death systems.

2. Auto-erotic asphyxiation. Not intended to be a suicide but things going horribly wrong as they skirt death’s reach while chasing an orgasm. (David Carradine, Thomas Midgely Jr.) However, the more it appears to be a death by AEA, the more likely it actually is the first type (Trevor Moore).

Not for long… 😢
