"Didn’t you wear that like, five years ago? "

I’ve been setting UsePam = no for decades because leaving it on meant that it’d still present a password login of keys failed. Is this still the case, was I wrong from the beginning, or is this somehow ok?

If you ask me, the risk is that the actual socialists will appear unwilling to make the necessary changes because the Democrat establishment won’t back it. It will make even genuinely socialist politicians look complicit. They may have to break out as a third party to get shit done.

I don’t know where you saw this “No”, but all of their code has been up on their (self hosted) GitLab for years: https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux

It just wasn’t clear what was being downloaded.

For example, here’s a screenshot of the UI when I tried to use it on this page (I was logged in at the time, which grants access to the full video):

The UI presents 3 options, all of which are basically identical, each with impossible file sizes. I ended up clicking [Preview] on each of them 'til I found the full-length video. The preview opens up in a new tab, rather than inline or in a pop-up which wasn’t ideal (I had like 20 tabs open, now my extension tab was on the left and the preview for one of the streams was way over on the right).

It worked well though, once I had the above figured out. Here are my suggestions if you’re interested:

1. When the download options are > 1, try to interrogate the streams a little more for basic information like length, dimensions, bitrate, etc. In my case above, it looks like this was presenting multiple streams of the same full-length video, but in different resolutions, along with a separate opening clip for the Zeteo logo, and another clip for the promotional video. It would have been obvious to find the best quality full-length video with just those three metrics above.
2. Maybe sort the list of streams based on the above and give the user the option to sort/filter?
3. Introduce a preview button that renders in-line like you see on Lemmy or Reddit. It would have saved a lot of hassle with my tab hopping.

Regardless, it’s a great job, so thank you for sharing it! Now I can watch Zeteo videos on my own time without that useless Substack app!

I was dubious. “What could this possibly do” I thought, “that yt-dlp can’t?”.

I pointed it at a video on Substack that I’ve been wanting to watch offline (that platform is just shite) and after a little getting tripped up by the UI… boom. 1hr of video just in my Downloads/ folder.

Thanks. This is pretty great.

It’s wild how much these numbers vary across the Atlantic. Those car costs are tiny compared to living in the Netherlands or the UK for example. Fuel is much more expensive, as is parking.

Phone and internet access on the other hand… you poor bastards are getting robbed. You can get a good mobile plan here for £10/mo for example. I have fibre to my home for £32/mo.

Also, $60/mo for clothing? How often are you people buying new clothes?

Canada’s problem is not a lack of subsidy. It’s the state’s tolerance for oligopoly.
