You mean "confidentiality", not privacy.
Just the metadata related to whether you personally, traceable to your full name and address, have a Signal account and how much you use it might be considered a privacy breach already, even if the content of the messages is confidential.

Signal is the same in that regards.

"First evidence in a billion years of two lifeforms merging into one"

It's slightly shorter and more accurate.. it does not state absolutely that it happened for the first time, but rather that it's the first evidence we've found.

And please, get all countries to actually start properly accepting ISO 8601 format for dates as a mandatory universal standard...

Yes. The thing is that then you are no longer anonymously using yt-dlp.
The next step would be trying to detect that case.. maybe adding captchas when there's even a slight suspicion.
Perhaps even to the point of banning users (and then I hope you did not rely on the same account for gmail or others).
It'll be a cat and mouse situation. Similar as it happened with Twitter, there are also third party apps, but many gave up.

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point they start doing something like what Twitter did and require login to view the content.

The thing is.. they are not really disagreeing if they are not saying something that conflicts or challengues the argument.

They just mistakenly believe they disagree when in fact they are agreeing. That's what makes it stupid.

If you don’t like it, vote with your wallet

I'd say more: don't use Youtube if you don't like it.

It's very hypocritical to see how everyone bashes at Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, Uber, etc. and yet they continue using it as if life would be hell without the luxury of those completelly non essential brands. If you truly don't like them, just let them die... look for alternatives. Supporting an alternative is what's gonna hurt them the most if what you actually want is to force them to change.

There's also a lot of videos from rich Youtube creators complaining about Youtube policies, and yet most of them don't even try to set up channels on alternative platforms. Many creators have enough resources to even launch their own private video podcast services, and yet only very few do anything close to even attempt that.

I think it was Mandrake Linux for me.
It no longer exists though. ...I guess I'm old.

The title is a bit confusing.. at first I thought this meant they are bringing Bedrock add-ons to Java Edition.

But no, they are just improving the modding support that already existed in Bedrock. However, Java edition still can't use those new mods.

The packager always should "explicitly require" what are the dependencies in a Nix package... it's not like it's a choice, if there are missing dependencies then that'd be a bug.

If the package is not declaring its dependencies properly then it might not run properly in NixOS, since there are no "system libraries" in that OS other than the ones that were installed from Nix packages.

And one of its advantages over AppImages is that instead of bundling everything together causing redundancies and inefficient use of resources, you actually have shared libraries with Nix (not the system ones, but Nix dependencies). If you have multiple AppImages that bundle the same libraries you can end up having the exact same version of the library installed multiple times (or loaded in memory, when running). Appimages do not scale, you would be wasting a lot of resources if you were to make heavy use of them, whereas with Nix you can run an entire OS built with Nix packages.
