Works for me in Wayland on Bazzite. Maybe depends on your distro and GPU drivers.

It means that when they go to KFC, they bring their own tactical spork.

Kind of the opposite. It takes more effort to make a filesystem case-insensitive. Binary comparison is the laziest approach. (Note that laziness is a virtue.)

I'm on the fence as to which is better. Putting backwards compatibility aside, there's a perfectly good case to be made for case-insensitivity being more intuitive to the human user.

Apple got into a strange position when marrying Mac OS (case-insensitive) and NeXTSTEP (case-sensitive). It used to be possible to install OS X on case-sensitive HFS+ but it was never very well supported and I think they axed it somewhere down the road.

Removing copyright entirely is a bridge too far.

Just roll it back to a reasonable time limit (I dunno, 7 years?), and categorically reject all further lobbying attempts from Disney and the like.

I don't know OP's country or culture, but in most places I've seen, there's a pretty big gap between "technically legal" and "generally socially acceptable".

I don't think you can expect any VPN to work without sign-in for very long. Google's playing whack-a-mole with VPNs.

I've never actually tried signing in with yt-dlp. How easy is it to make a throwaway google account nowadays? Do they require phone verification or something similarly onerous?

There's no way to do this entirely within HTML. What you need is some kind of HTML builder/compiler. You could potentially write a simple Python script to loop through your tags, check the size of the linked URL, and update the link text.

This is network-specific. It's been going on for a few months at least. yt-dlp itself still works without sign-in, if your network is not "suspicious".

Always worth making sure you're updated to the latest version of yt-dlp, but this is probably a network thing.

Yes, I loved classic Trek for showing a better a future, where humans have moved beyond our greed, prejudice, and self-destructive tendencies. That was the through line in TOS and TNG, even if it wasn't always 100% on-point and didn't always age well (you need to view TOS in its historical context to get past the baked-in 1960s sexism, for example).

There's a place for cautionary tales, and there's a place for aspirational tales.

I liked Discovery well enough for what it was, but I hated its picture of a future where good humans are the exception rather than the rule.

Nowadays, I think solarpunk is where its at.

Are you sure about that? The star over each icon indicates that both of them are bookmarked.

So either this is a bug or there is a second bookmark hiding somewhere. If you go to Bookmarks > Manage Bookmarks and search for "qb", what appears there?
