Hey guys not to be a downer but like…what DO we do when a federated instance goes down and takes all its content with it?

Instructions unclear, I installed something called “Project Bluefin”?
The ads are not part of the stored video file, they are sent in as chunks of the stream in place of the actual video. When the ad is done, the regular video starts playing again. They are not “editing in” anything to be permanently stored as part of an uploaded video.
Imagine thinking they can’t detect when you try to skip forward during an ad.
All of that targeting data lives on Google’s servers already. Your computer isn’t trying to figure out who you are and what you like each ad play, Google already knows who you are when your browser makes a request for a video. Everything you are talking about is already server-side.
The ads won’t be baked in beforehand, they’ll be injected into the stream in real time. Videos are broken into chunks and sent over HTTP, they’ll just put ad chunks in during playback. There is no need to re-encode anything. If you deep link to a timestamp, the video just starts from that timestamp as normal. If you are a Premium user, the server just never injects the ads.
But you are correct that the client needs to be aware that ads are happening, so they can be indicated on screen, and so click-throughs are activated.
This is why Chrome went to Manifest v3 - so you can’t have any code looking for ad signals running on the page to try to counter it.
This is true, no matter what ElevethHour and their downvote brigade want you to believe.
This is not true, creators get paid for Premium user views.
Yeah but the company of “wants to remain in the EU market” might
See, this is the issue; it’s not illegal to turn off my internet, it’s not illegal to block a program from accessing it, and it’s not illegal to run software i paid for.
If that’s a problem to clients then find better clients.
Hey, a lot of people have deadlines and can’t just drop everything to spend a week learning if GIMP even meets their needs when Adobe is knocking their door down with this EULA change right the fuck now
And Adobe is counting on that. They knew this was bullshit and people would be made which is why the dropped it with (what seems like) zero warning
Hey, yeah… why aren’t they just tapping the font rendering DLL?
…are they tapping the front rendering dll??
Congrats to b0tster/Bunlith and the rest of the team! Now if only steam would hurry TF up…

For iOS they do; I would assume for Android they will as well. It would be pretty bad if an automatic update stopped you from waking up in the morning…
