Since yesterday, the VLsub returns 401. I registered for a free account, but the downloaded subtitles had only ads in them, asking to "upgrade" to VIP.

Apparently they changed their policy recently, and now they're asking for $20/year (for VIP).

As I've seen somewhere:

Companies pay Google/Meta to show ads, and users pay them not to see ads.

> Microsoft intends to focus primarily on three key areas:

> 1. Performance

> 2. Craft

> 3. Reliability

Such as:

> Using a new system compositor for WinUI 3, the performance of various applications such as File Explorer, the Start menu, and the taskbar is not expected to slow down even under heavy system load

> The new Start menu is said to respond up to 60 percent faster

> Microsoft is even considering removing all advertising from the Start menu.

> intended to scale back its focus on AI features.

I'm guessing you never travelled anywhere else in your life?

> Japan ... has entry and exit controls on the borders, ... It is compulsory to carry identification documents if you are a foreigner.

This is true for almost all the countries in the world, especially the second part.

Are you sure about the Dutch part? AFAIK in almost all EU countries you have to have at least B1 language for permanent residency.

Happy for Hungary!

Unfortunatlely, half democracies (ie representative) are open to abuse and give too much power to presidents or governments. Combined with populism, lobbying and corruption, it allows people like Orban to stay in power for a long time. Glad it's over.

Wow, very cool and lot's of respect!

But... why not use linux, unix, custom OS, iPad, Android, Nintendo SNES, Atari, Commodore 64... anything BUT Microsoft?

(Seriously though, why not Linux? I'd really appreciate if you could answer, thank you! )

That gives me so many questions: Should there be a non-Earth timezone? How do you define a "day" in space? Is there a day light saving in space?

At least they are not travelling near the speed of light. That's a whole different can of worms.
