I hate those things.

Even when you do it correctly sometimes it won't accept it

VLC's UI on windows hasn't changed much in over 10 years now. It definitely would benefit from a search function to quickly find certain settings to fine tune your expirience with it. But I sandbox all of my software, so no cache files or data it writes onto the drive I make it write to ever sticks around for very long.

Any time I need to open a link from a friend I copypaste the link into a sandboxed browser that doesn't have access to any of the shit going on in the other sandboxes instead of opening it rawdog into that same sandbox.

many instances of piped and invidious won't accept your connection if you're not logged in with an account there. and now a lot of age-restricted videos on youtube won't play through an alternative front end at all.

I have ways of virtuallizing multiple instances of the same stuff, I can just copypaste a youtube link into another instance of my browser full of userscripts for bypassing all of google's garbage.

it used to be a peer reviewed scientific study that huge helpings of grains were good for you. Turns out the food pyramid was created by people who would benefit from the sales of grain-rich food full of sugar.

speaking of sugar, it used to be a peer reviewed study that fatty meat was bad for you, turns out that was written up by the sugar industry

They re-named it "Kodi" but a lot of the stuff in it doesn't work very well anymore

who the hell still uses windows media player? I use windows and everyone else I know who uses windows never opens WMP. We all have VLC for videos, but for the movies that we all totally pay for we use Kodi/XBMC or jellyfin

I always thought dice like those were made from vertebrae

I guess they're ankle bones

I don't think that's how it works.
