    Honest question: could some of Netflix's enshittification be because of the media industry, and not their fault? The fragmentation of streaming was the opposite of what they wanted. So maybe his point is that it's impossible to compete because the industry is so powerful and greedy that they couldn't hold onto their monopoly. Spotify has been able to hold onto theirs because record labels hold less power and don't want to get into the streaming business.

    All plants, animals, mushrooms, bacteria, etc have DNA. Any time a living thing reproduces there can be unique mutations that give the offspring a unique DNA. And, especially if it is a sexual reproduction (having two parents, like in most fruits) the parents DNA is mixed together to form a unique combination of the two parents.

    You can, but the energy gained from the turbine will be less than the extra energy it takes to drive the vehicle now that there is a wind turbine attached.

    You proposed it in the grill, but for simplicity let's put a wind turbine on the roof. To turn the blades, the wind needs to exert a force on them, and for the blades to not fly off the back of the vehicle, the vehicle needs to match that force. So now the vehicle is working harder to move forward.

    It may be easier to visualize if you think of the turbine like a parachute. Once the car is up to speed, you release the turbine out of the back attached by a string. It will spin in the wind, and twist the string, but the car will slow down.

    You could put this into the grill, or some part of the vehicle and fool yourself that it's not added force, but cars are designed for wind to go around them, not for wind to push on them. So no matter how you add a turbine, it's added wind resistance.

    You are right. Either you are using docker very wrong, or docker is not meant for this use case.

    You say "getting ubuntu server to fetch it's updated behind proxy". You shouldn't be updating Ubuntu from inside of docker. Instead, the system should be somewhat immutable. You should configure the version you want to use as part of the Docker file.

    Same with python and keys. You likely want to install python dependencies in the Dockerfile, so that you can install them once and it becomes bundled into the container image. Then you don't need to use pip behind the proxy.

    At my previous company we edited apks to add performance trackers. We modified the dex code directly. It was not easy, but it is possible. Some apps are obfuscated, which makes finding libraries hard. But a principal we used was to look for where the app called into the system code, especially around URL requests. So you could look for all calls to the system network libraries, and identify which ones were calls to tracker systems, and no-op those bytes.

    But, it's probably much easier to just use the adguard dns server.

    You don't need to re-encode the video. Look up HLS segments, which is the standard for streaming video and I assume YouTube uses it.

    Each video is split into many segments, like 10 seconds long (though the duration doesn't matter). The browser first fetches a "playlist" which is just a list of these segments. Then the video player plays each segment in order. So Google could just insert ad-segments into the video stream, and if they did it cleverly, there would be no way to determine that they were ads.

    We put our bread in Ziploc bags (which we reuse) and then into the fridge. A loaf will last at least a month in there. Then it's easier to eat since you don't need to toast it as long

    I agree, although a lot of the work going into a game is the game design, art, and iteration, and not just the programming and rigging. And it may actually be a catalyst to rewrite parts better

    Our baby isn't here yet and I feel the same thing. My partner has had intense symptoms from the pregnancy, and isn't capable of what she normally is. We also have dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and a garden. And I am taking care of 90% of it. I don't have almost any "nothing" time.

    I am hoping it gets better after the baby is here and her body recovers. But I fear the world you are experiencing. Good luck and let me know if you find out a technique.

    I love pixel phones. I don't use cases because I get the previous gen, like I just got the 6a, which after trade in was only $200.

    Each one has lasted about a year and a half before I end up breaking the screen or the camera or something. Not sure what to compare this to, but since I don't use a case, I don't expect much else.
