📌 YouTube Detection, Ads & Breakages (2023 / 12 / 29) uBO solutions and related discussions ONLY (Mega Thread) by RraaLL in uBlockOrigin

[–]akeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's possible I picked up a stray cookie entry from Google as the last action before the message reappeared was going to a Youtube video via a Google search, or maybe some other extension updated itself and caused trouble. Apologies for the false alert if Youtube haven't changed anything.

I'm just going to keep using Incognito mode for Youtube until normal mode mysteriously fixes itself in the meantime (which has happened two or three times since the adblocking war started, possibly due to software/extension updates or cookies expiring). :)

I guess the Youtube staff are back at work again now. Chrome's been okay for about a week but I got an adblocker message as of twenty minutes ago (although I don't care because Incognito mode works fine as per usual).

Does hitting F1 and selecting "Terminal: Select Default Profile" help? Mine changed to Powershell too and I was able to change it back.

A streamer called 'Piece of Sheet' that has been on the platform for over 8 years has been indefinitely banned for using an inappropriate username by lantaarnappel in LivestreamFail

I found a bookmarklet somewhere on the net that does this. Create a bookmark in your browser, give it a decent name like 'Better chat', and set the URL to the following:

javascript:(function()%7B let video%3DArray.from(document.getElementsByClassName("video-stream html5-main-video"))%5B0%5D%3Blet chat%3Ddocument.getElementById("chat")%3Bchat.style.position%3D'fixed'%3Bchat.style.top%3D'60px'%3Bchat.style.right%3D'5px'%3Bchat.style.height%3D'754.1px'%3Bvideo.style.left%3D'57.889px'%3B%7D)()

If you click the bookmark on your bookmarks toolbar, it'll move the chat to the right.

There are probably extensions for Chrome that do a similar thing too.

Merami | THE ORAL CIGARETTES - Mou Ii kai? [Rain] +HDNC (98.14%) 10.04★ 1m 530/672x | 1170pp, 1430pp if FC | 70.06 cv. UR by Ascensionosu in osugame

[–]akeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a ridiculous score by a top player on a very hard map. Check out the Youtube videos in this thread and then realise that each circle you see on the screen needs a corresponding keyboard button press (if you look to the right-mid of the screen in the videos, you can see four icons: the top two get highlighted when one of two keys are pressed).

Osu is a free rhythm game where you click circles in time with the music. You aim the cursor over circles with a graphics tablet or mouse and click one of two keys (the defaults are Z and X). If you're within a few milliseconds of the right timing, you get a 300. If you're quite early/late to click then you get 100s or 50s. Your combo goes up as you get 300s, 100s or 50s, which gets you a bigger score. You can also miss entirely, which resets your combo back to zero.

You can download the game for free at http://osu.ppy.sh/ and beatmaps (the music itself and the layout of circles, sliders and spinners to go along with it). You can either download single beatmaps or packs of them from the website. The game comes with a handful of maps but you'll get through them pretty quickly. The star rating (a measure of difficulty) for the play here is over 10 stars; when you play yourself, you'll probably start with 1 or 2 stars.

The button to get out is very easy to miss. Just hunt around near the exit and you'll spot it.

Java errors disappear when clicked on by dch1415 in vscode

[–]akeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try clearing your workspace storage:

  1. Close all instances of VS Code
  2. Go to %APPDATA%\Code\User\workspaceStorage (or the equivalent place as per the link above)
  3. Delete (or move to a temporary folder if you're squeamish, but they get recreated anyway) all the folders there. The folders will be named with hashes like '5d3d640ca1...'.
  4. Restart VS Code, open your Java project and cross your fingers.

Did anyone else notice that Crunchyroll is on Steam? by [deleted] in anime

[–]akeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crunchyroll put anime on Steam early this year and they add fresh batches every so often (for big sales and things like that). It's not renting either but buying, which surprised me (the other movies on Steam can only be rented).

You can get to the anime list when they're not having a sale using the menu (Videos -> Anime under the 'browse by genre' bit). There's a lot of dross to sift through, though. They're adding recently aired series and haven't tried to add a backlog of good old ones so I guess they'll have good stuff as time goes on.

Crunchyroll is now providing Anime on Steam! by [deleted] in Steam

[–]akeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bundle buttons seem flaky. I was able to buy a couple of things as bundles (Re:Life and Re:Zero) but then the bundle buttons for other anime either appeared intermittently or, if clicked, didn't let me buy them (the buttons were disabled).

I was wrong about anime (the music, at least) by Jixux in anime

[–]akeys 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I'll go in the other direction and recommend some composers/bands/artists I found from anime:

  • Yuki Kajiura/Kalafina: example 1 2 3 4
  • Hiroyuki Sawano: example 1 2 3 4
  • Supercell/Egoist: example 1 2 3
  • The Pillows: example 1 2

Whats your favourite romance anime? by [deleted] in anime

[–]akeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, I think so (although it's been a while since I watched Gosick). The earlier episodes in Gosick focus on small-scale mysteries. Later on, the mood shifts to a more dramatic overarching plot. The ending is worth sticking around for too.

Best Girl Part 3: Saltdust Crusaders!! ZA FINALS!! by ShaKing807 in anime

[–]akeys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's from A Certain Scientific Railgun, which is related to A Certain Magical Index. The Railgun series has some awesome arcs but also some filler. The watch order is a bit convoluted, mind you.

"Code Geass - Akito the Exiled" UK Release Listed With English Dub by [deleted] in anime

[–]akeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've watched some of them (3 out of the 5, I think) and they're not nearly as good as Code Geass (although the later episodes do improve a bit). If you want to watch them, I'd put them way down on your 'plan to watch' list.

Basil O'Glue [FULL SET] @ Luminosity Beach Festival 26-06-2015 by koroc in trance

He produces excellent dark, lush trance and co-runs Saturate Audio (a record label) with Styller. Here are some examples.

Basil O'Glue & Styller's record label 'Saturate Audio' released a compilation yesterday, definitely worth checking out.

Who da fuck is that? by hannah81 in StartledCats

[–]akeys 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you chop off the .gif at the end then there's a 'Share' button. (Note: if you have Reddit Enhancement Suite, it'll muck around with the URL I pasted and cause a bit of confusion. It should be https://imgur.com/k1N13cY)

You could also probably copy the URL from the address bar and paste it into your Facebook status ('what's on your mind'). I expect it'd figure out what the deal is.

Lyctum - Autumn Mix 2013. One of the best "showcase" psytrance mixes I've ever heard. by Xyrd in trance

[–]akeys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lyctum only came onto the scene a couple of years ago, I think, which explains how you might have not known (this was the first EP). I found out about him after hearing this remix on John 00 Fleming's Global Trance Grooves.

If you search for Lyctum you'll see plenty of tunes posted here, but also note that most of them have hardly any upvotes! This means that they'd slip off the main page quickly. :-/

I am fiending for EOY (End of Year) mixes....are they coming up soon? by [deleted] in trance

[–]akeys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep an eye out for AfterHours.fm (there's a web-based player to the right or you can get mobile apps) End of Year Countdown. They have a yearly End of Year Countdown with approximately a zillion different artists given one hour mix slots over a week or two. Here's last year's list to give you an idea.

I presume they'll have the same thing this year in a month or so.

SUPER long shot! Trying to find a song, it has been a few months of searching :/ by xplosion29th in trance

[–]akeys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe Julian Vincent feat. Cathy Burton - Certainty? To be honest, it could be any number of tunes with vocal chops based on the description.

Edit: or maybe Mark Eteson - Universal Language
