    Yeah, I use MPV as a external player and it's great because you can highly customize the way you watch videos. I like equalize the sound and through a MPV script I save the video from cache with a keystroke if I liked it. Sadly watching with subtitles stopped working some weeks ago.

    I don't see the reasoning "hackers with AI" is a vague, it's already happening. Scammers use deepfakes to steal $25.6 million from a multinational firm The software to do this is already available in github for anyone to use it. There's a billion market around phone scams, it's just a matter of time of widespread adoption of this technology by scammers. Scammers are swiping billions from Americans every year That's why I talked about being well informed and seeing the dangers. May be I'm paranoid but it doesn't mean its not happening.

    No daily anxiety at all, just being aware of the dangers. When I drive and see a red light I just stop, there is no anxiety involved, I'm just aware of the dangers of crossing. If you are not aware of the dangers of the excessive digital exposure and surveillance you should subscribe to this community and read what's going on in China and in an increasing number of western countries in relation to this.

    They are surrounding me... is it time to give up?

    During the past few years I was avoiding the increasing number of products or services that required biometric verification, specially face recognition (FR). But the things are getting harder are harder in my country: - The largest e-commerce platform in latin america and the most used in my country requires FR to use it. It was possible to use cash if you buy from its website but since a couple of weeks it's requesting me to identify using it's app. - The telecoms demands FR from now on if you want a new SIM card in case you lost your phone or it's been stolen. - The bank is now pressing me to use their app with FR as a 2fa when using homebanking from its website, something that wasn't necessary up to some weeks ago. - The government is in the same direction as it's moving to digitalizing many burocratic procedures and also requires FR. and the list is increasing quickly. I've never used any private social networks and I've degoogled many years ago, the only non free software that I use is Whatsapp because in some countries in latin america is almost imposible not to use it, you need it even to call to the car towing service. Anybody that is well informed knows the dangers of allowing such an amount of private information now tied to our face be available for hackers now equiped with AI, but frankly it seems a lost cause to fight against something that 99.9% of people dont worry about and give consent to do so to corporations (that sell all your data to whoever wants it) and governments (who use it as a tool of control). I don't know, may be I'm also worring to much and it's not that serious, after all if tens of millions of people do the same the chances of being targeted by hackers is not different of being robbed in the street (at least in latin america) and with the obiquitous surveillance cameras plus the almost unavoidable need of a phone, the government probably know exactly where you are and how you look, so the information may be already available. Perhaps it's time to give up and adapt to the world we now live in.

    Connecting to a non free site (anti feature) doesn't mean having proprietary or non free dependencies (being non FOSS), which is what you stated, but OK, you don't trust proton proprietary services. I assume you don't see youtube videos for the same reason, any FOSS privacy app or frontend will have that anti feature too.

    That doesn't mean it is not FOSS, there are many anti features not related to not being FOSS. Newpipe for example is FOSS but has anti features just because it connects to YouTube which is non free.

    do you see how easily you are manipulated with misinformation? That's why people don't stop talking stupid things about bitcoin. She doesn't say that in any moment. She says higher highs and higher lows, which is true and doesn't mean allways increasing.

    One of the biggest misconceptions about bitcoin is that it's a neoliberal/libertarian thing. Thinking this way only shows lack of understanding. A famous short video from the most respected bitcoin educator will make understand better. https://youtu.be/ywO0r_Fz0lc

    And about the environmental concerns Lyn Alden has a post that deals with all the misinformation. If you are really interested take the time to read it, it's exhaustive. https://www.lynalden.com/bitcoin-energy/

    This video has seemingly no sources for its claims.

    It's just an introductory video. The references are in her book. I counted around 300.

    Lyn Alden is part of “Ego Death Capital”, a venture capital company around cryptocurrencies (https://egodeath.capital/team)

    Only Bitcoin. Bitcoin is not any crypto or altcoin, which I agree most are scams.

    Lyn Alden is the Board Director of Swan Bitcoin - a Bitcoin investment platform (https://www.swanbitcoin.com/alden/) Lyn Alden is not an economist (https://www.lynalden.com/about-lyn-alden/)

    Who are you expecting to make a video about the failure of the current system? A banker?

    Bitcoin cannot be diluted (~27:25) REALITY CHECK: Bitcoin is always being diluted until it reaches its hard limit.

    What she obviously means is that nobody can delute it. It creates new money at a mathematically determined rate.

    The value of Bitcoin has only increased over time (~27:50) REALITY CHECK: The log scale is playing tricks. A linear graph would show how volatile Bitcoin has truly been.

    She doesn't say that. She says bigger highs and bigger lows, which is true. That doesn't mean it always increases.

    Bitcoin’s hard limit is likely very dangerous for the network (~29:00): Once the hard limit is reached, it is unclear if people will keep >pumping computing power at it. If the creation of new Bitcoin is no longer allowed, it is possible that transaction fees will need to >be raised to compensate miners.

    Dont worry, it will happen in 2140.

    And of course is Bitcoin propaganda, and more of this quality is needed.

    Calling it crypto won't make people understand. Watching the video will help people to understand, the why and the how. They don't necessarily have to agree with the solution but the most important thing is understanding the problem because too many people are still unaware of it.

    Conservation of angular momentum L = r x p (vector product) with p = mv the linear momentum. So if L being a vector is constant so is its direction, so p (and v) being perpendicular to L implies that the movement must be constrained to a plane (perpendicular to L). It's the same reason why the planets of the solar system lie on a single plane and not on a sphere like artificial satellites around the earth.

    It refers to the ability to locate the source of a sound. It supposes that the localization is achieved only by the difference of the time of arrival of the sound to both ears. That's why the curve is a hyperbola, which is the set of points which distances to the foci (ears) have the same difference, so you couldn't differentiate which of all the points in the hyperbola is the actual source (confusion). But this is too simplistic, the auditory system is much more sophisticated and the source can be localized by other means.

    Amazing but more usual that one might think, it's the same anger you can see in people that identity themselves with some other fictions like religion, nationalism, football teams, ideology, race, etc. When watching a movie you kind of temporarily turn off your disbelief to experience joy, sadness, anxiety etc but when the movie is over the healthy behavior is the recognition that everything was an acting. But with the fictions that I just described somehow the disbelief is never turned on, the critical thinking is canceled.
