I think the problem here is that Veritasium these days now covers popular (possibly overrated) science-y topics rather than actually interesting (but not so popular) science content to stay on the radar. It’s about the covered topic, not the quality.
Better die a hero rather than live long enough as a villian.
I think I was able to found the GitHub PR related to this. I think it is a feature so people can search for toots if they turn on “Discoverable”. It is now locked before it “devolves into another search feature debate.”
IDM only does direct downloads, or taking over downloads after waiting the timers or clicking the download button.
You can just give the download URL to JDownloader2, either direct or on a file host, and it will do the job. It supports many file hosts, which may be dealt differently from one to the other, such as needing timeouts, donwloading from folders, handling passwords (it would ask you for it), solving CAPTCHAs (it would also ask you for it), and so much more. Everything would be dealt and you get the file just from the URL you gave it. It’s a versatile tool.
I hate open source devs who are whining about not being paid or something.
They should learn that by releasing it on an open license, anyone can use it freely. The devs have no obligation on maintaining it. Don’t like it? Step down, announce and archive it, and everyone can wait for a fork or a replacement. Simple as that.
When they whine about their tool is being used on a commercial software, or they don’t get paid, or something else, I don’t think you are prepared enough to make your software open. I get it, they are worth a pay, but, to be put bluntly, no companies/individuals are obligated to pay you, just like no developer is obligated to maintain their code.
Last time they did with Web 3.0 and it didn’t went well
I don’t see it. Where is it?
To be fair, he is right. You would be better to comment on https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/584842.
If “building” is not your jam, you can try https://github.com/j-hc/revanced-magisk-module/releases, which does builds that is ready to install.
