YouTube Vanced was shut down because they tried to monetise it by releasing their own crypto NFTs, sparking Google to shut it down. I think for now Revanced is safe.
Honest question here. Could it be possibly that as they improved their DRM with more triggers and methods that it has started to impact performance since 2016?
As Empress was cracking Denuvo, I wouldnt be surprised if they started to quickly add extra defencive measures compromising what could have been optimised in the past.
Thanks man! Every post I see with a recommendation I see your comment "yeah I can do that". I love it! Keep up the good work. I too will be staying
Inflation is the devaluation of the currency. The definition has been muddied for a time now but ultimately inflation refers to the expansion of the money supply.
As people/corporations borrow more and governments print more, prices increase. Not because those items have more value but because the money has lost its value needing more of it to pay for the same stuff.
If tomorrow everyone's wages would double. Prices would double as demand would increase and the market balances itself out.
Greedflation is a term that shifts that narrative. You could argue that yes there are bad actors for sure. But the term greedflation is redefining inflation, making you focus more on corporations raising prices instead of the main contributor, an expanding money supply.
NFTs could have a useful case of keeping online records of ownership. Being cars, homes and even cattle. Which coulld also make it easier and cheaper to sell or buy these things.
Ignoring privacy concerns of course.
Maybe, but come to think of it, it doesn't occur on all posts so if they're new comments then why don't they appear on every post
Edit: oh I'm dumb. It's on posts I've looked at. So they're new comments since I've seen the post (I think)
Next to the comment counter, I can't seem to figure out what the bracketed number indicates. For a second I thought it meant new comments, but I've seen some posts that have 2 (+2) and when I open it, it still only has 2 comments.
Oh no! I had no idea. Man that really sucks. They were such a good service
I still feel that silicone is more reliable than dealing with organic matter that can die.
How do they keep it alive. Do you need to feed it or keep it in special conditions? With time, as the cells age, would you lose performance?
I've never experienced or heard of any airport checking the private contents of people's devices. Wouldn't that be a massive breach of privacy?
Also how would they know it's pirated or not. Wouldn't they have to check for licenses... Wouldn't that be incredibly time consuming for staff to be checking?
Im in serious doubt this would be a thing.
"Show me the man and I'll show you the crime" Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's secret police chief bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.
Before Hitler, why wouldn't you put down you were Jewish.
You may have nothing to hide now. But who knows how it'll be used against you in the future. The less people know about you, the better.
TL is pretty lenient. You're more likely to hit 10 days seeding than actually hitting a 1 ratio. In fact, unless you're seeding 24/7 you won't get a lot uploads. But that's normal. Your time spent seeding earns you points which you can use to give yourself more Downloads in GB or unlocking fun perks.
You can seed intermittently as well and even go days or weeks without having to seed. As long as you don't rack up a lot of hit and runs in one go and maintaining a good ratio you'll be fine. But definitely try to hit those seeding requirements.
They also give you a buffer so you'll start off with a healthy ratio. And they also offer a massive amount of Freeleech torrents which don't cut into your download ratio. So you can download those 'for free' and then seed those to earn uploads/points.
They have stats, how much you upload, download, how long etc. There are even achievements which earn you points too.
I would give them a go for sure. It's not as strict as you think and they have a wiki with a FAQ which should cover any questions you have.
I didn't realise you wrote the article. I just wanted to quickly express how articulate and well written it is. And I completely agree with your points on the free market, government intervention and how unsustainable our current system is.
Though my view with algocracy is more to do with the types of individuals that are running the show. The wealthy, powerful and influential. The types that will stop at nothing to get what they want.
I feel that these people will always find opportunities to bend and manipulate systems in their favour. If it threatened their status, they'd destroy it. If they were somehow pushed into a corner they'd find ways to manipulate it.
It may be pessimistic but I really believe that in a dog eat dog world, there is no such thing as a system that is truly fair. You say an algorithmic system solves that. But I believe we'll never reach it... Not in a way where these people would lose their influence. They would never allow it.
