It's not very clear on the website or in the talk but Blåmba normally only runs on CCC event networks. However, if you privately chat with Manawyrm she can fire up her modem on a commercial network and send you the SMS manually. Make sure to know which operator (by MCC/MNC) the logo should be assigned to, you can't store ones for other networks.

Without bothering Manawyrm, you can also try Ringtonetools (source-available program which Blåmba uses) to convert the pic into SCKL (hex-encoded) messages that can be sent from any phone, as opposed to the binary ones that are 2x more efficient but you need to directly interface with a GSM modem for.

I don't; I have NewPipe and 2 of its forks installed.

Frankly, YouTube should just tolerate the cheaters because they still bring more money than what I think ads would, and when they get screwed over they will likely not buy the service again.

Is there more info about this? I could only find Chinese forums like https://m-weibo-cn.translate.goog/status/OdaBMza1L?from=page_1005052963774131_profile&wvr=6&mod=weibotime&jumpfrom=weibocom

The chips (basic TTL logic, perhaps) are all DIP. This may predate the term "open source".

We've always thought that YouTube assigns a 11-character base64 video ID randomly to each upload. However, the video The ATM Glitch That Made a Millionaire by Joeseppi has the ID m4Fi_a9QATM that ends with ATM, which is a 1 in 262 144 chance . The first 6 characters are also kinda sus.

Do you think joeseppi write a script to repeatedly start uploading the video, check the URL and abort if it didn't contain the three letters? Or found a glitch similar to the one used by bad apple but it's a QR code that links to this video? Or is it pure luck?

I could not find an official statement on that, and was unable to contact him.

Assuming copyright laws don't change by then, otherwise there is no way to know.

A plausible answer is 1977 (when the film was released as Star Wars) + 95 years (for pre-1978 works) = after 2072. However, the film had been edited by George Lucas for the 1997 "Special Edition" release. Does this mean that I cannot publicly play the Special Edition VHS tape I have at home in 2073 and have to wait until 2093, or perhaps 70 years after GL's death?

George Lucas has been infamously attempting to erase copies of the original movie. Therefore, no HD home video release for the 1977 film exists, however, a fan effort known as the "Despecialized Edition" compiled different versions of the movie from various sources, patching the Special Edition 4K Blu-ray rip to try to replicate the original 1977 experience. Does this legally questionable version enter public domain in 2072, or does this only apply to official (SD) releases?

Anyway, the Despecialized Edition project as well as George Lucas's treatment of the originals is an interesting rabbit hole to delve into for any movie nerd.

I analyzed it in another comment: the header says the image is 300x300px 8-bit RGBA but the data is invalid. Most viewers will notice that and show an error.

However, the syntax it used for embedding images is valid, as data:image/png;base64, is the start of a valid image URL and you can use it like other image URLs in supported Markdown interpretors.

Example, using the 103-byte Google Maps' sea tiles, and a 178-byte GIF:

![Google Maps sea map tile](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAQAAAAEAAQMAAABmvDolAAAAA1BMVEW10NBjBBbqAAAAH0lEQVRoge3BAQ0AAADCoPdPbQ43oAAAAAAAAAAAvg0hAAABmmDh1QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)
![wink.gif](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhDwAVAKIEAAAAAP//AP//3v///wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH/C05FVFNDQVBFMi4wAwEAAAAh+QQFlgAEACwAAAAADwAVAAADSUiq0L2QtEDpg6Bqu/LeAGN5wVRKlVmS6qe17hiDHvlyNciho5N2sxDGtoIMBgyH8Kg4IiMEZ1NKlUarSOdTe81arZHvE3olJAAAIfkEBR4ABAAsCAAEAAQABQAAAwYIGtz+ASQAOw==)

renders as

TranscriptPart of a 9/11 memorial: marble trapezoidal prism block in the corner of a paved area in a park. Silver writing in modern font reminiscent of Nokia Standard Multiscript, used in Symbian mobile OS UI:

"Lets Roll"

On September 11, 2001 United Flight 93 took off from Newark International Airport in New Jersey with 38 passengers and a crew of 7. While in flight, the plane was hijacked by terrorists. Passengers on board knew about the other hijacked planes and took action. "Lets Roll" was their call to action. The passengers over powered the terrorists and the plane crashed in Shanksvillle, Pennsylvania killing all on board. It was believed that the plane was headed towards another target location in Washington D.C.

The penultimate line is in noticeably smaller font to accommodate its length, and so is the centered title for some reason. Most of the text is left-justified but the last three lines are centered, fit and right-aligned, respectively. The quote marks are not rounded, and there are at least three grammar mistakes in the short text.

Public domain. File information

And people still have the audacity to say ViSuALLy iMpAiReD pEoPLe aRe jUsT 1% oF iNtErNeT uSeRs... Meanwhile I am enjoying a free 1 MB/day of cellular data on a prepaid card due to a provider’s billing glitch so I have my SIM in an old 2G Nokia and browse the web on Opera Mini with images disabled.

I believe in the curb cut effect so I try to follow accessibility guidelines wherever possible. I wonder when YT allows for visually impaired audio tracks so that people who only listen don’t miss important details conveyed viaually in video essays. I hate it when the narrator refers to a simple pie chart when they could have said the percentage out loud, especially if they speak redundantly elsewhere. Or when creators of obviously scripted videos don't at least upload the script for better subtitles. Or when video annotations were removed instead of YT making at least the non-interactive ones work on mobile. Or when websites and apps restrict copying text... and all other DRM can go fuck itself, too.

I'm pretty sure you know what follows...

Image transcriptA recreation of the Piper Perri Surrounded meme. A white CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS calculator is laid on its side on a cushion while three TI-83 Plus and two TI-84 Plus calculators, all black, are standing behind the cushion. The faces of corresponding actors are shown in 4-tone pixelated pictures on each calculator's respective screens, grayscale on the TIs and sepia-toned on the CASIO thanks to its (limited) color graphics. Words of the text "Original meme by Chaotic Neutral Czech" are used in place of the SHIFT functions on a row of keys on the Casio as a mild watermark.

Is still does, experimentally, if you enable developer settings, rather unintuitively through a Firefox Add-Ons account. Developer settings are not available in the official release but the Nightly builds as well as some forks, like 🦊Fennec, include them.

Phrases like know one's [general subject of interest] are very annoying to me because they seem rather self-centered. I am obviously fine with knows his way around or Know Your Customer because the use of possesive pronouns is appropriate.
On the other hand, now I know my ABCs is atrocious because the modern Latin alphabet obviously does not and never did belong to a single person, and has been used by billions of people in the last few centuries.

Do you know other English phrases with unnecessary posessive or personal pronouns? Do they exist in other languages? Is there a name for this linguistic phenomenon? Where do I complain? ~/s~
