Allowing these gets the website more exposure, of course an advertising company would do that.
The same "dumbasses" are likely DRM and subscription model advocates and in that way, they're already having lots of success on influencing company policies.

That's a lot of unwarranted cynicism. I don't think there's that many people "advocating" for either. Everyone knows they're shit, including the people who use them. They stay around not because anyone loves them, but because they make money and most people don't give a shit.

Not sure what complaining about embedding has to do with DRM and subscription models. If you hover over any of the videos on that site you can see the source and it's giving them views. There is the story of people who make mashup videos being forced to discontinue their work because copyright laws get in the way of art.

Are you suggesting that embedding videos is going to become a paid youtube feature eventually? Video authors can prevent people from viewing their sites through embeded links already.

It lets you download things from the steam workshop. So, imagine you have a game you bought through GOG (or more likely torrented), but wanted to use some mods only on the steam workshop. Well, all you need to do is just paste in the steam workshop URL, and then the site gives you the files in a zip so you don't need to have the game on steam to get them.

This is really awesome. It's a massive collection of Flash games that you can either download the entire (700GB) collection of, or there's a smaller 2.5GB version that lets you download games as you play them. It's all in a self-contained player too, meaning that you seemingly don't need to have flash installed from what I understand. I was also surprised to hear it seems attached to BlueMaxima. If you've spent any amount of time with the Vita at all, that name might sound familiar. Apparently, the guy who pretty much single-handedly reviewed just about every single Vita game is also behind this project. Really cool coincidence.

We're already experiencing that now. Most music videos and any other promotional content that isn't by a regular content creator but rather a corporation have pretty much disabled embedding. Now with this dislike button gone as well, who knows what the state of YouTube just will be in the next year or two. It's already an unusable piece of trash. Really need to get people to start uploading on alternatives more now than ever. Archive anything you can and reupload it everywhere too. Get as many people away from YouTube as possible.

>Archive anything you can and reupload it everywhere too.
This is the thing that worries me the most of YouTube going stupid. There's just way too much there. YouTube has been around for almost 17 years now, and has an endless amount of content. If it ever goes down, or decides to self-sabotage itself and delete a bunch of stuff, or some other thing happens, I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that an irreparable amount of information will be lost.

 No.80541

>>80518
Same here, but they do remove important content and channels go down every single day. There was a wave of people who deleted their channels back in 2019 worrying over legal stuff when the whole COPPA thing was going on. People kept telling others that they would get lawsuits on videos if it was marked for kids or not marked for kids. I know it became a whole nothing case but a lot of people went insane worrying about it back then.

This pretty neat. I guess they collect a bunch of data and create public reports on stuff. It's nice that they release monthly population estimates too. It makes the US seems really slow seeing as we only do a proper census every 4 years and then just go off of that until the next one while guesstimating inbetween.

Site lets you quickly determine the visual clarity of an image based on size, distance, and resolution. I use it a lot when comparing VR headsets, but it's also useful for things like comparing whether you would see any benefit in upgrading size and resolution of your TV or monitor; for instance, upgrading from a 24 inch 1080p monitor to a 27 inch 4K monitor should be a very noticeable improvement to the majority of people, unless you have bad eyesight.

It's not a website per se, but I found out today that Wiktionary has maps for dialectal vocab variations in Chinese and Finnish:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:fi-dial-map/feature/Kettunen1940_187
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Template:zh-dial-map/下午

Here's their lists:

Apparently someone wanted to do the same for Arabic, but it didn't take off:

You can see the category at the bottom is a stub, that's a bad sign.
