Some people pursue this because of the lesser safety restrictions, but you should already know that.
Autocycle, not motorcycle. There's a pretty big difference. But you should already know that.

Cali Doesn't enjoy that classification, last I looked otherwise there would be hundreds of harley trike mods being listed as cars.

This time next year Aptera will still be begging for money.
Yep a year later they were begging for 50 million dollars to start production. Somehow they grifted a few million dollars and that was enough to probably start production.
These guys are the Ukrainians of the motoring world.

I did not see that coming. More likely Anarcho-capilalism?

While the half-body-of-revolution argument rages in other threads. Aptera is the only one to instantiate Morelli's aeroform.

Fun.

I saw that and clicked on it just to get the link, but it wouldn't play because videos stopped being YouTube's commodity, we are.

However, I can play it when I click on it here.

On a related side note, I sure am gonna miss YouTube lol. I can't believe we're at the point where my unwillingness to spend my time by watching advertisements excludes me from participating. But here we are.

That's OK, it'll give me more time for real-life activities I guess. I will miss the days of pulling up at YT video when fixing something I'm unfamiliar with, such as a dryer from a different brand etc.

Random tangent but I'm old now so I can do what I want.

A friend of mine let me join his Google family, so I don't see Youtube ads.

I've gone to Rumble for everything I can. freebeard will be pleased that I use the Brave browser now instead of Chrome, and don't "Google" anymore.

Still using a bazillion other Google products though, so they still know everything.

Else one can just not put up with their shennigans. Here's a lucid explanation:

I do a lot of coding, and let me try to break it down. Why it's impossible, and stupid. It's a decision made from the top though, and developers just going, "guess I'll collect a paycheck and beat my head against the wall for a while."

Detecting adblock software can be approached several ways.
1. Java requests
2. Element Hiding
3. Element Size
4. Network requests
5. Fingerprinting

And in everyway, they intend to limit the user's access if they fail one of the algorithmic checks. This does create a never ending arms race, however, youtube is at a disadvantage. The adblocking service has the user's machine at it's disposal, the "endpoint", the youtube service only has whatever data it can legally request from the user's machine, and has to rely on that to be correct to do it's job.

Here in lies the root of the problem... because at the end of ad-block creating rabbit hole I once ventured down, at the end of the day... you only had to find the request handles, and then spoof information when the html event triggered. There is NO way around this unless they pry into other parts of your system without your permission. Even then, internet sleuths would quickly figure it out, and quickly create a spoof for that as well.

If you are the content provider, you are the server. You can't tell what the endpoint is doing unless it's requesting data from the sever. They have no way of verifying if the spoofed data is correct, and trying will introduce many instances of people being unable to use YouTube on their device. That happens for just a few hours, YouTube stocks plummet by a point.

This announcement was perfect, I love watching alphabet burn money.
Here's #1 to get started:
Code:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)
Dunno if it works. Chromium on the Raspberry Pi blocks ads at the browser level. Couldn't turn it off if I wanted, and I politely decline otherwise.

I'm more bothered by having to scroll the categories on the main page to Recently Uploaded to eliminate the interspersed Shorts.
