I haven’t used this extension before but it seems like what it does is find the URLs of active videos. You can do the same manually by F9(or right click > inspect) > Network > Media > Sort by size (larger files will probably be video). This will give you the URL of the video (same as if you right clicked and chose “open video in new tab”, but some sites disable this).

This approach usually works for me, but many sites take steps to prevent it.

1. Send several smaller video files. They basically cut it up into short videos so you can’t access the whole thing at once. ffmpeg or a download manager (I use TurboDownloadManager) should be able to combine them relatively easily. Until recently, YouTube used this sort of method. The URL had a “range” tag that specified which frames of the video to show. Deleting this tag gave the whole video. They’ve since changed it and I don’t know any similar tricks (just use yt-dlp for YouTube). Other sites may do something similar, like changing a number or keyword in the URL will get you the whole video.

2. Serve a preview of a full video (that you have to pay for). Many sites have very similar URLs for free and paid videos. On some sites you might be able to guess what you need to change to get the full video. Some sites have their previews named “preview.mp4” whee the full vudeo is the same URL but named “video.mp4” or something like that. You can spend some time messing around if you find something like this, but really the chances of guessing correctly are pretty low.

3. Encrypted keys. This is basically impossible to crack. Some URLs will have long strings of letters and numbers in them. I assume this is some sort of encrypted password that needs to match up for you to access the video. Don’t even try with these ones.

TL;DR usually it’ll work. Sometimes it won’t but you might be able to get around it.

Also, yt-dlp works on much more than just YouTube. If I can’t figure out how to download a video, I’ll just give the URL (the webpage, not the direct video URL) to yt-dlp and it’ll often work.

That makes no sense. Division is just multiplication by an inverse. There’s no reason for one to come before another.

Firefox doesn’t explain how to do this at all, but it is possible. Make a bookmark with the URL you want, and set the keyword to whatever symbol you want ti start it with.

For example,
Name: Scryfall (or whatever you want)
URL: https://scryfall.com/search?q=%s&unique=cards&as=grid&order=name
Keyword: s
Then type “s Birds of Paradise” to get the result you want.

I did the same with Reddit and it worked on my end. If it doesn’t work for you I’d be happy to help you figure it out.

It’s also possible on mobile, and it’s actually even easier: Settings>Search>Default Search Engine>Add Search Engine. Then you can type your search and choose the engine from a dropdown menu.

I don’t know exactly what Chrome does but Firefox lets you sync tabs, history, bookmarks, and saved logins and card information.

Albert Einstein is dead. You couldn’t run at all.

Screen record a video of the process? Then you’ll have a video guide, plus you can take screenshots of the video for a written guide.

Dude, what the fuck, you can’t say that on the Internet!

They actually had this in Europe and just discontinued it.

Hmm almost like this post is specifically about labels. There are plenty of other places to discuss the problems.

Probably Sectograph. I’ve used it for a couple years and I like it a lot. You can even have it on your smart watch.

The point is that GMT isn’t changing, the region is switching to an entirely different time zone, BST (British Summer Time). If your time is based on GMT, it won’t change due to British daylight saving time because GMT never changes.

For a similar example, in the part of the US that uses Mountain Time, states observe MST (Mountain Standard Time) in the winter, and most switch to MDT (Mountain Daylight Time) in the summer. However, Arizona doesn’t observe daylight saving time, so they remain on MST. MST always stays the same (GMT-7), the time is only changing because the states are observing a different time zone. The same happens with GMT and BST, it’s just harder to see because you can’t pick out areas that remain on GMT all year.

Yes, although I recommend against using /c/ because it doesn’t actually link to the community. I also recommend against typing out the full URL (e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) because it might cause issues for people in different instances.

The proper way to link to a community is [email protected]. For example, [email protected]

Out of curiosity, are you using WiFi, and what frequency?

A little while ago I had an issue where my controller would interfere with my 2.4GHz WiFi and make my computer basically unusable for online games. This isn’t really the same situation but I imagine something similar could happen in reverse.

Otherwise I’ve never had any issues with controller latency though. It’s weird that it’s so significant for you.

Surely it can’t just be number present. It must be some proportion.

Looking through the comments, it looks like it’s per 1000 Internet users.

My question was mostly rhetorical, really, to make the point that without units listed on the map it becomes almost entirely useless. Sure, it gives some idea of proportion. I can tell that the US has more GitHub users in a certain group than Canada does in that same group, but it’s lacking a lot of context. What group (Internet users, per capita, etc.)? 11.5 out of how many (out of 100 would be significant, out of 10000 not so much).

It shouldn’t be necessary for people to have to search through the comments to find this context. What if I want to share the map? Am I expected to caption it myself when I share it?

Sorry to kind of go off, I know it’s not really that significant. But it’s such an easy thing to include units with your data, and I feel like it’s necessary to emphasize its importance in this community while it’s still young and developing.

11.5 what? Data doesn’t really mean much without units.

I’d be willing to bet that for most Americans the main barrier to commuting by bike is the threat of cars and lack of bicycle infrastructure as a whole.

I ride my bike to class often, and when I do it’s great. Well-maintained trails and frequent bike racks make it very convenient. My college is good with bicycle infrastructure, and I happen to be lucky that there are good trails between my apartment and campus. A faster ride would be nice, but I don’t see it making me bike more often. It wouldn’t affect the things that prevent me from biking on the days that I don’t: weather, time of day, or how I feel physically.

Despite how much I bike to class, I’ve never biked to the grocery store, restaurants, or any other place that’s not on campus. This is because I’d have to ride on busy roads without bike lanes. Once you get closer to the center of the city, there are bike lanes, but they’re just painted. Actual separated bike lanes basically don’t exist in the US, which means that cyclists are still at risk of getting hit by cars even when bike lanes are present. A faster bike wouldn’t fix this. Investment in infrastructure would.

I do understand the appeal of eBikes and I recognize them as a viable alternative to cars. But I only think people will make the switch if they live somewhere that’s already got the necessary infrastructure to make their commute safe and efficient. This is not even close to the majority of Americans. If we want people to move away from cars and toward bikes, we need to think of infrastructure first and the bikes themselves second.

Judging by similar articles, it’s “7.5 trillion tonnes.” I assume metric tonne because of the spelling (usually I’ve only seen short or long ton spelled ton, although it may vary by region).

Yeah that’s what I assumed, but saying “Epic servers don’t support Linux” had me a bit confused.

Also, the game is still playable from steam as long as you bought it before it was moved to the epic store. Not trying to defend epic, if it was up to me it would still be on steam, but those people probably haven’t had to move at all.

You mean you can’t play Rocket League on Linux at all? I haven’t played recently but a couple months ago it worked for me totally fine through Heroic Launcher.
