They shouldn't even disallow screenshots from a security measure. If the user wants to take a screenshot of their bank account info or a password manager they should. Maybe an additional permission for screenshare. No device has protection against a second device taking a recording so it's really just security theater


It's all "security" and all until your banking app has a bug that breaks exporting bank statements and the only way to get it out is to take screenshots - which are blocked as well. Oh, and you need to submit it by today.

At least on rooted Android devices you can bypass that.


Aptera for airplanes would be cool. I doubt you could generate enough power in-flight, but maybe after sitting outside for a few days


Well it was before electron was created so all they knew were efficient native applications


After clicking play, there's a prompt to log in. I had to use a video downloader service to watch it


You can just replace x.com with nitter.net, though their bandwidth sucks for media playback.


Harry Potter would have posted the original video to YouTube instead. It seems like a tragic irony, and perhaps a sign of danger, that OP posted the demo video to the website of He Who Should Not Be Named. Why? Why?!


Because Twitter posts consisting of YouTube links die quickly. It’s very obvious once you have a few thousand followers.

Your option is basically either upload to twitter, or put the YouTube link at the end just before a screenshot. Or both a video and a YouTube link, I suppose.

If you trigger their YouTube embed, it seems like it gets penalized quite harshly. I’ve seen other people agree with the sentiment.


Just don't use a Twitter post as your demo video in the GitHub readme. I don't care what someone does on Twitter - I never go there. But you can just embed a .gif or .webm in your readme or link to YouTube there.


Twitter posts never die if you never post to Twitter in the first place.


What does it mean for a post to die, and why is that bad?


The poster to x apparently has a bsky account also — I wish they would cross post.


or xcancel.com


that was my first move, but i got an infinite redirect


could be regional cuz that don't happen in the US. they play right away regardless of log in status


I'm in the US and twitter videos don't play for me. I see what looks like a video control when I view the post, when I click it, it throws up a modal log in/sign in dialog. No way to view the video while logged out.


I don't have a twitter or x account. I clicked the link, a log in modal popped up, I dismissed it, then was able to play the video. Firefox on iPhone if it matters.


> Firefox on iPhone if it matters.

very possibly, I am using Chrome on a desktop.


That's simply not true.


They used to. Not anymore.

Toggling ubo allowed the videos the load


Thanks for reporting it! I'll have a look


I use adblocker for youtube but will still subscribe via pateron


They can stop piracy or child predators. what makes you think they can prevent access to running models that require no internet access to run


Piracy is in a practical Golden Age rn and the Epstein Files exist - so the Government doesn't really do either of those things very well at all.

Plus for a certain type of person "Piracy" is more of a philosophical belief or political position - there are fundamentalist equivalent, very proficient, "Pirates" who will under no circumstances stop and are not doing it for money. There are obviously an enormous amount who are in it for the money - "big brand names" now reportedly comprise as high as 63% of the advertising on illicit piracy sites - I'm too lazy to get the link, that sentence ought to be enough tho if you want to look into that bizarre reality.

I'm not certain either of those things are in the Government's direct control - both require society at large to share the belief and essentially choose not to do said activities.

(Regarding your second example, unfortunately most abusers are people children know, the Epstein Class was supposed to be just Q Anon crazy conspiracy stuff, none of this is ok in any fashion. Both exist, one local entirely beyond the government - the other appears to have incorporated people from government.)

My point is simply this - WE determine what the Government can do. What we believe matters more than anything else. Don't ever discredit The People's ability - we are pretty awesome.


Typo my mistake


The capacity of government is positive but finite.

The government can't stop all murders, but committing murders ain't exactly without consequences either.


They can’t even stop people typing “can” when they mean “can’t”. :P


It made more sense in Demon's Souls where the game was more linear so you'll more likely to encounter the NPC without a guide.


Would venace ai work?


Though one would hope that they could leverage their advanced models to create native software per platform that can perform better.
