If you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file

I haven't watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable... five years ago or so?

It's visible in the PDF. I have used that extension to mark draft versions of documents. This makes it very obvious and saves you from accidentally handing in a draft. At least back when things were printed out much more often. With PDFs I find that the file name is sufficient.

That's not the case (at least in Germany). Being brain dead does not replace the conscious decision on when to disable life support.

No, I said they hadn't demonstrated it. But 95% is close enough, I stand corrected.

In that case I stand corrected on the whole orbit bit. Thanks for taking the time.

I didn't say "a little" money. It may be important or critical for the business but from a technical perspective, demonstrating how it can safely bring loads up and down decides whether the whole concept is actually feasible. That's when people will start to get excited.

As far as I understood it, SpaceX uses the word "orbit" liberally. If it reaches the hight where an orbit would be possible, that's "being in orbit" for them. In an actual orbit, the rocket would not fall back down again in an hour or so without active breaking. If my understanding is incorrect, I'm happy to be corrected. And even of that was achieved soon, it's still all without demonstrating that the starship could actually carry a load and return it safely. Not even an inexpensive dummy load. All SpaceX is showing in their live feeds are empty cargo holds that fill up with hot gases and fumes during reentry.

I think the average person gets it right. It's a nice feat to catch the booster and it will save money. But that's a side quest. The main quest of getting an actual load to orbit and beyond is still pretty far away. At least compared with the official time line where they wanted to achieve much more than that three years ago.

And whoever is way up his ass, is also a racist climate change denier. (Or has that changed in the last decade or so that I wouldn't watch these shows?)

Nah, that's not exclusively an AfD thing. That's often boomer mentality. Many are out of touch with the rules for political correctness/decency nowadays and instead of trying to adapt, many try to make others stagnate as well.

Termination without notice in Germany? That's a major challenge even in situations that warrant it.

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago

That's coherent. Otherwise it wasn't bad.

 

With Wayland becoming more and more popular, it's interesting to look at the around 40 year history of X.
