They can try to block crawlers all they want

They will not succeed without restricting access to Reddit to an unusable degree, since crawlers can be coded to imitate real users close enough. Combine that with enough proxies and they can't do jack shit

Also you could get arround the Referer header quite easily via redirects (unless Reddit went ahead and used a Whitelist for those, which again would be a very stupid decision) and some more methods

AdBlock doesn't do shit about advanced fingerprinters

Have a look at CreepJS

Only way I found to circumnvent it is by using JShelter with WebWorkers removed

This is the same cat and mouse game hackers have been doing with game-/anticheat developers since multiplayer games became a thing

Are people still cheating? Yes

So unless google manages to pull of their device certification fuckery for PCs it will never work out in their favor

That's what Early Access is about, right? And it's not like other fuckers who release in EA and then just abandon ship after getting paid/releasing some minor patches for an unfinished game and call it "full release" (looking at The Forest for example)

For gaming PDS is king for stable frametimes and fast response times

Bore is close second

EEVDF is very good too

I also hope you're compiling with llvm and full lto for maximum snappiness

Sadge, you tried to improve Lemmy by posting something and got downvotes for your work

Don't let yourself feel down about this, you tried to do the right thing and it didn't work out. Try to understand why things happened the way they did and most importantly never stop trying what you think is right :)

Tbh I didn't read the article but I'm glad you posted it because every post on Lemmy contributes to it being "alive". So, thank you

Would have been easily avoided by using Lutris for your non steam games

Easiest way is to download all and let something like dupeGuru do the rest

Afaik google makes that extremely annoying and they strip your images metadata when getting them from takeout so keep that in mind

Also, for your own good create a backup before deduplicating, just in case you do something wrong (this also let's you experiment with your duplicate file finder of choice without having to be scared about fucking up)

I don't think google can win this without serverely limiting access to Youtube

Doesn't even need updates, in the 10 years I was on Windows it didn't want to start after shutting it down again like 7 times

I hated having to reinstall every year

Same problem as Magpie, that's because they wrap the game window into another window which has desynced refresh times and horrible input lag. I really don't know how people can play using this

True, that guy seems like a jerk

Also, if you only want the highest quality using the command line version is easy as running

yt-dlp "link"

for example:

yt-dlp "https://m.youtube.com/watchv=dQw4w9WgXcQ"

Although it needs ffmpeg too for certain websites that have seperate audio and video streams. Maybe that's why your previous experiences have been wonky
