Still doesn't change the fact that youtube is kind of a [REDACTED] when it comes to handling having market monopoly.

Inserts random quote as things like politicians and coorperation having to be changed often for the same reason as diapers are...


And, meanwhile in the search for answer for the mysterious metals being added to dog food.

Zinc-, and Manganese-sulfate seem to actually be a nutritional thingy that's in there for a reason, but Copper-sulfate pentahydrate? (Yes, that's what it litterally said on the can)

According to pubchem it has a few medical applications for a few things, wich aren't really as important as all the screaming, caps-lock, warnings telling you that they're not worth being used for those purposes because of their toxicity, and danger from long-term exposure (such as it being processed in food) wich include a whole bunch of scary things like organ damage, fertility issues, killing unborn children, causing genetic deficiencies, and all that stuff.

Well, guess that really is why domestic dogs never make it past the age of 15... :I

And, I shure know what I'm not feeding my dog, if I had one... Dog food my [REDACTED], more like rat poison...

It's not like there aren't half a dozen alternatives out there already.
The fault now is that most people (both content creators and watchers) still only ever go to YT despite there being options.


And, apparently all the albums I'd want are available for digital purchase.
I am happy.
Provided enough moneys go to the right people.

Giving to charity would be a lot more attractive, if it did.

So would adressing me, on Haarlem central station, as someone representing a charity be.

Gee, I almost feel bad for the amount of nasty cynicism early-morning-tanks can emit, but at the same time it gives me a little bit of respect for them putting up with it....


And, can you name one single, actually viable, alternative to youtube, from the top of your head?

Oh right, I have sewing to get back to.
Just wanted to have badly-fitting music playing in the background while I work.
Now that's taken care of!

The idea of the cute little woofer that is you sitting at a table, and sewing something equally cute and colourfull, with death-metal music, sang from the gut, playing in the background.

Kinda makes me giggle, No offense and all, the thought is just amusing!

Currently sitting around in my pyjamas sewing together a grey knitted sweater-thing while listening to this.




MY ANCESTORS ARE SMILING AT ME, IMPERIAL!
CAN YOU SAY THE SAME!?

[Brisky]

First of all, I'm not "Imperial", I'm from the republic of the seven provincions. The one that #Rekt the English navy, stole the spice trade, and a bunch of stuff like that.

But, having said that, I'm not really doing a lot to make my ancestors proud, at the time, no.

Heck, I should start doing that. :I

Hey, maybe I can make my dad happy by making a technical drawing, so I can make a muzzle device for my airsoft gun, to replace the crappy standard orange tipped one. I'm shure that'd make my dad's side of the family happy!

<- TFW you're almost done sewing and you notice the stitches don't match up at the very end.

[Brisky]

158,195

Erhm, I suppose that that's something you can't fix very well? :\

I don't know much about sewing...


Meanwhile I'm trying to decide what kind of muzzle device, I could make, would look best on my airsoft gun.
 
If only I had this much interest in my own every-day looks, I'd be looking a hell of a lot more fashionable...

Have to redo the whole thing and try to get it right.
Thankfully it's only 36/37 stitches, which while not being an awful lot is still awfully tedious.
Already managed to do that now I think.


Also, apparently pretty much all of YT has randomly decided that Finland should not be allowed to watch YT pretty much at all.
Videos I could watch just fine yesterday are suddenly "not available in your country" anymore.
I am annoy.

Mh.

Try to find a proxy server, somewhere in the Netherlands, or google "how to bypass youtube regio block" or something. I'm shure it can't be that hard to bypass!


And, really? They're just slightly out of alignment and you have to do them all over again? Or are you just a perfectionist?

And, by the way, that's why I carefully check down everything I do, to make shure that I've done it right. It may take a bit longer, but if I didn't do it, I'd have blown up a lot of computer parts, bikes, engines, and an airsoft gun.

You could try double-checking®, I highly reccomend this cost-free, user friendly, disaster-prevention tool! ;P

Apparently it all happened today, too.

https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/7gk3j2/youtubeteosto_just_blocked_most_of_music_videos/


The most beautiful of irony is that the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence is less than a week away now, and the national anthem has apparently been blocked too.


From the looks of it, things should be back to normal eventually as some sort of temporary contract has been agreed upon, Teosto is being painted as the scapegoat, they'll have no choice but to go along with what Google/YT suggests, and my countrymen are busy sharpening their knives and mixing their Molotovs.
Sweet.




And I started working on that particular piece at 4 in the morning, so I'm pretty sure no amount of triple-checking would've saved it.
Besides, it's good practice and I'm currently not yet in a hurry.

Sometimes it does kinda bug me why things like that can never get more recognission...

To be fair, both sides are kinda crappy.
YT/Google is essentially framing Teosto and causing a huge crapstorm to make them look bad (by making sure most of the blocked videos, even ones -not- affiliated with Teosto still shows a message saying "This video contains content from TEOSTO and is not available in you country", pretty much blackmailing them into going along with what Google/YT wants when the new agreements get discussed in order to try and do damage control.


Whereas Teosto is just being Teosto. Had a two week course on copyright and stuff back when I was still studying programming and quite a lot of it was about them.
They might be a bunch of bullies, but blackmailing is far far worse. Bleh.


But whatever, I should drag my butt to the store and buy some food.
Then, more sewing.
Whee.

Like two hobos fighting over a mouldy piece of 7 million euro's worth of autor's rights, and stocks values...

Kinda funny, isn't it?
