The light was brighter

In 2023, the problem is that you MUST something. No. You MUST not anything. If you don’t want to do something, you MUST not do it. The society is now a collection of peer-pressure-fueled MUSTs. You MUST do this, you MUST think that. People should mind their own business instead of saying what one MUST do.

If you ever need to clean your images folder of any location data, install exiftool and run this command:

1

$ exiftool -gps:all= -xmp:geotag= -r dirname/

You shall rise.

So you need a Youtube downloader, but don’t want to upgrade your home server because if it ain’t broken, don’t fucking fix it. So after updating yt-dlp, it fucking crashed with a really nice error:

1

Exception: You are using an unsupported version of Python. Only Python versions 3.7 and above are supported by yt-dlp

What to do now? It’s simple. First of all, remove the shit version you have:

1

python3 -m pip uninstall  yt-dlp

Step two is to download and install yt-dlp_linux like this:

1
2

sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp_linux -O /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp_linux
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp_linux

Then make a symbolic link named yt-dlp to it:

1

sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp_linux /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

… and you should be good to go. Now to use it, just run

tes yeux me font “Boum-boum-boum-boum”

I was reflecting on how the things we build on the digital world seem to mirror what we build on the physical one. Big social media platforms are the metropolis: dense, busy, chaotic. They’re the place that never sleeps and there’s always something new going on.

I really like this point of view written by Manu, however I need to one-up on it. I feel that social media websites are not metropolis, they are the rotten, broken, dysfunctional megalopolis cities that we find in the Judgde Dredd universe. Facebook, X (or The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter), TikTok are places just like Mega-City One: over-populated, filled with criminals of all kinds, high-tech helping The Man not the little persons, corrupt and on the verge of collapse. Outside of it there’s nothing but deserted land, radiation, and a band of misfits living with the bare resources. And these guys are us, the little blogs, trying to make ends meet.
