Carshing

It all makes sense now. Another day I’m glad to not be a gambling addict

It’s not the ads I hate, it’s the data harvesting I hate. Static ads without trackers don’t exist on YouTube, unfortunately.

It’s the playlist link that’s the problem. It ends with playlist?list=LM which stands for “Liked Music”. The downloader doesn’t know your account’s liked music playlist. It needs a playlist ID like playlist?list=PLO7q4X25LQEEyJAQe5EEwJxUCSKvuKbok

Basically you need the songs to be in a different playlist

I did some testing, it looks like the auto generated “Liked Music” playlist doesn’t have a proper URL that can point to the music.

A workaround seems to be adding the playlist to the queue, then saving the queue to a new playlist, and using that new playlist URL.

That way you can remove the “music.” part from the “music.youtube.com” and use it like a regular YouTube playlist.

If that doesn’t work for you it might be a DRM issue with how your phone is attempting to download the data. I used my desktop.

You can use yt-dlp with the -x flag to extract the audio with the link to the playlist. You can specify the audio format too, it’s a powerful tool.

EasyEffects has a real-time pitch filter that works for me. I don’t understand how it works, but I didn’t need to mess with audio routing, I set applications to use my mic and EasyEffects somehow still applies the filters.

AI (more specifically, LLMs) can only replicate what’s in their training data. Skynet could work as long as we don’t feed it any information from any stories that involve an AI uprising.

Tom Scott polled this years ago, good video. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ALy6e7GbDRQ

Spoiler:

The prequels were made with the idea in mind that people had seen the originals, and after they saw the prequels, they would watch it in Prequel->OT order.

The correct way to watch Star Wars if you’ve never seen it before is Original Trilogy, then Prequel Trilogy.

It’s a good thing to question your beliefs every once in a while. Sometimes people get things wrong, and sometimes ideas need re-evaluated.

The way I look at gay/trans/etc is to take MLK Jr’s advice: judge people by the content of their character.

Wrong, it’s a separate timeline of canon. Legends still has good stories that don’t need to be told again.

Right, it’s not a movie or TV show. If Disney had the balls to continue Legends canon alongside Disney canon, Shadows of the Empire would make a great film.

I’ve watched enough of them that I can tell which ones are good within the first 2 seconds. The YT algorithm is crap and gives me a lot of garbage to swipe past anytime I open Shorts.

The way I see it is to choose a normal length video, say 30 minutes of content, and watch that, or to scroll through Shorts for 30 minutes and maybe find a few good ones. It’s a terrible tradeoff.

The “many Bothans” story and how Leia gets the bounty hunter disguise were already told in Shadows of the Empire

Its a difference in connotation, which is highly subjective and may or may not exist at all.

To me, “Not to mention” implies a bonus thing to consider that doesn’t need to be mentioned to form a complete thought; it’s just additional context.

On the other hand, “Not to leave out” is a crucial detail that needs to be there for everything that was said prior to make sense.

Both sayings are still mostly interchangeable, but connotation is the reason that so many synonyms exist.

Glad to be of service

You could try running the Android version through Waydroid.

Found this after searching for “Steam Deck Waydroid”, it might be helpful IDK: https://github.com/ryanrudolfoba/SteamOS-Waydroid-Installer

Skeleton Crew is also really good. It’s not on the same level as Andor, but it’s the only other thing worth a chance.

I might watch the first episode, but I doubt I’ll like it enough to watch the entire show.

I read that as “Magic the Gathering” and was very confused
