I’m using it as a way to keep track of channels I like, after I find something interesting, the actual playback is handled by yt-dlp + mpv. Because I always build yt-dlp from source, it is pretty much never broken for me.

Hooray to the relentless open source devs beating Google’s puzzle games mere hours after they are released!

Have you actually read the thread? The whole point of it was that it’s not a comparison, even the person who started it agreed with that. Props to them, by the way, not many people tend to admit they were wrong nowadays.

I’m all ears for your “debunking”, love. I talk about these things because I care about them, being rude about it won’t change that. If anything, it makes me want to talk about it more.

Precisely the reason why I’m not using Fcitx, on a touchscreen there is nothing better than flick input for Japanese.

I’ve been using it for a while, haven’t noticed the candidate box margins being weird until you mentioned it.

You can make the font for the candidate box larger to fill the unoccupied space, but that sounds like a bad solution.

It’s developer opened an issue for improving that part of the keyboard not that long ago, probably there is something in the works. You may want to voice your concerns there.

framing device

That was not my intention at all. I just needed a hypothetical free service that you wouldn’t want to receive despite being of benefit to you.

If you have another example like that, I’ll be happy to replace it with something else, as long as it’s repulsive enough.

Are you arguing that since other terrible things exist, I shouldn’t try to make the world a better place? I can’t exactly see how that’s a valid point.

I suppose you are trying to appeal to the fact that I’m not perfectly morally pure, trying to make it look like whatever I said is automatically invalid? That’s not how it works. If I say both “smoking is bad for your health” and “you should throw needles into sandboxes”, how exactly does the latter statement being utterly horrible affect the veracity of the former one?

And of course I’m trying to minimize my usage of things made via exploitation of others, as in repairing the hardware instead of buying new stuff. It’s just incredibly hard to live in the modern world without mudding yourself somewhere. We judge thieves based on their circumstances and whatever they stole, just being a thief does not make you as bad as the worst one, the world is not black and white like that.

If somebody proposed to build you a house with slave labor free of charge, would you be happy about it?

Since the answer is quite obvious, we can clearly state that even if something is free and beneficial for you, there is a line which you shouldn’t cross.

That out of the way, we now have to figure out where to draw this line. It just so happens that for a lot of people using a technology that actively destroys our environment, makes every computiational device more expensive, literally makes it’s users dumber, and is built with very ethically questionable methods lies beyond the line.

Oh, if that’s not enough, LLMs can kill you if you are psychologically unstable.
