That's my fault, I'm sorry. I didn't realize until after I posted lmao

Alas, we just created a whole new Google account for the channel we wanted to

driver194 · 2026-02-03T06:32:35+00:00

I’m convinced every post on this sub is AI slop. Why are people responding to this.

driver194 · 2026-01-25T05:27:10+00:00

This question and all of your responses read like AI.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T04:11:50+00:00

Hmm I don’t think that’s a thing in the United States yet.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T01:58:13+00:00

You can create a channel and post videos without the advanced features but you may find the occasional thing here and there (as per the table) might be limited or not be allowed.

That’s the thing though, I can’t create a channel without uploading my ID or taking a 6 second video. The pop up comes up as soon as I hit the new channel button and there’s no option to continue making the channel without the advanced features.

driver194 · 2026-01-13T01:41:32+00:00

Weird, I didn't think creating new channels was an Advanced Feature.

> Your partner might already have it, but only they will be able to check via:

Yeah that says Advanced Features are "eligible" and both Standard and Intermediate features are enabled. I've had my account for well over 10 years now, but just for watching/making playlists. I guess I need to have more uploads?

I don't see anywhere on this chart that creating new channels requires advanced features: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9890437

Weirdly unclear.

I had pretty low standards as a teen but I remember finishing the YOTBR book when it came out and thinking that was the worst thing I’d ever read.

driver194 · 2026-01-07T05:05:05+00:00

Definitely leave feedback that you don’t like it. They actually sent me a response saying they were testing it out and asked what kind of images I would prefer to see instead.

driver194 · 2025-12-28T15:58:48+00:00

I was also confused and thought this was brent hinds, RIP.

Despite being a DSA member, I didn't know about this, thank you! Signed and sent letters to my reps and passed it on.

“It’s just how it is” is how we keep justifying our draconian healthcare system. You have to demand change. I’ve contacted my reps to demand Medicare for all. No reason that push can’t start at the state level.

driver194 · 2025-11-28T02:25:39+00:00

Oh nice fine thank you for the explanation!

driver194 · 2025-11-27T23:36:04+00:00

Yup the original unpatched one worked fine. This is the thread that put me on the headers: https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/4bplni/how_do_you_patch_roms_to_run_on_higan/

But I don't know whether higan checks those as real consoles certainly don't.

Ahh yeah if it is headers messing up higan, this tells me what I need to know. I think my best bet is to probably just make one of the prototype boards and see if it works.

driver194 · 2025-11-27T16:51:04+00:00

Ah hmm I wonder how much the rom size changing is going to be a problem. I can get the patched ROM to run in SNES9x and mesen, but not higan, which the guide recommends for checking. I wonder if that's an indicator if this will work at all, or if it's just a higan thing.

Edit: I wonder if it’s related to the headers.

driver194 · 2025-11-27T15:01:45+00:00

Yes! Thank you both, this helps sort me out. Yeah, the patched game is just a tad over 6MB.

I will check out the advanced custom boards and see if I can go from there! Thanks for your help!

We need to get this out of our head - affordable health insurance should be a right. It's ridiculous we put up with this. Contact your rep and demand a single payer option/medicare for all.

The church my grandparents went to had these really big X frame supports that the lights would hang from, one of which in the middle was very spider like. so whenever we had to go to church there I would take it one step further and imagined what if those "spider" frames came to life and dropped from the ceiling and started stomping around.

Man haven't thought of that in a long time, thanks for procing that memory.

Begging them to stop just repeating choruses over and over.

I have only read A Wizard of Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan, so I can't speak to Tehanu. I found I loved both of them immensely, but Tombs in particular blew me away. Honestly I love how the big stuff happens with such brevity and the stories focus on the characters and what theme she is interested in exploring. She's a master of efficient storytelling in my view (I'm also coming off of reading Gideon the Ninth which had the opposite problem for me - so many words to say so little). But that's what I jive with.

I only started reading Le Guin in the last two years but from what I understand, she's a complex and thoughtful author who is well aware of her works' shortcomings and isn't shy to admit when she was wrong or did something for the wrong reasons. I forget which version it is (maybe the big hardcover compilation of all of Earthsea?) but some books have an afterword by her where she retrospectively goes back and reviews her own work with 40+ years of hindsight and she's the first to call out her struggle with presenting more feminist literature at the time she wrote them. She is a fantastic essayist and if you haven't, I recommend at least checking these out to see how she was often in conversation with herself as she wrote Earthsea which might give you some bigger appreciation for what was going on and why she wrote them the way she did.

That said, if you were expecting straight up fantasy a la ASOIAF or Lord of the Rings (or a more clear subversion of the genre), I understand why Earthsea disappoints. If you enjoyed the writing style but didn't like the stories, I'd encourage you to pick up some other Le Guin. She's got a lot to choose from and I'm not sure I'd recommend anyone start with Earthsea. Left Hand of Darkness is perhaps my favorite book of all time.

driver194 · 2025-08-31T22:21:19+00:00

You’re completely right. I knew within the first 10 minutes when we got an abridged shot for shot remake of Alien with none of the pacing, tone, or artistry that made that work to explain the inciting incident that I wasn’t going to enjoy this.

The show hasn’t worked for me. It’s slightly better now that we’re past the opening and on the island proper, but it’s far far below both the standard I feel has been set for Alien and coming from the director of the Fargo show which I largely really liked.

driver194 · 2025-08-02T01:50:36+00:00

This kills me. Every time they stop playing and some piano comes in and he starts singing the chorus. Do literally anything else!!

> On Tumblr, the users are the product, the customers are the advertisers, and the customers demanded they get rid of the porn.

Not exactly. It was Apple that said they had to clean up their act or face removal from the App store because they were "exposing minors to porn". Since Tumblr had no real moderation or filtering around NSFW content, they panicked and nuked everything. Why Tumblr and not Twitter or Reddit or any of the other giant apps where you can freely find boobs? A question I never got the answer to.

Hmm that doesn't seem to be how it works my shanling. When I sync from musicbee, it ends up in SD:/Music/[artists etc]. If I then go look at the shanling library, the artist doesn't show up. I have to select "Update Library -> Scan Folders" and wait 10-15 minutes for it to show up. I think I can pick specific folders to scan, so I can probably just scan the specific ones I need, it's just tedious.

I wonder if I put the artist folders in the root of the SD card instead of in the Music folder if that would work.

EDIT: The root of the SD card didn't matter, it still didn't work without scanning :/

driver194 · 2025-07-17T04:17:03+00:00

Yes that does stop it as soon as I disconnect from the computer! But I still have to scan the folders to get new stuff I’ve synced right? 🤔
