    PORNHUB

    It’s Pornhub, like https://pornhub.com/. One of the biggest (if not the biggest) porn site on the planet, used by millions if not billions. There is nothing wrong with watching porn if you feel like it. What you do in your own home is your own business. Just don’t wank too much, or you are going to have health issues. Which are also totally normal and you should just go talk to your doctor, they will not be surprised or shocked, it is literally their job to deal with stuff like that.

    I feel the world is going crazy. Shoving all of this stuff under the carpet isn’t helping anyone and won’t make it go away. Half of the time I can’t understand my young niece and nephew because they speak in this code language, evolving all the time so they can talk about normal stuff young people talk about and stay ahead of the big censor machine. And often it’s censored so poorly, everyone can still read it, like what was the point then?

    Wouldn’t be surprised if YouTube and Netflix don’t use FFmpeg. I am pretty sure they use custom built hardware encoders. Pretty sure Netflix has a lot of blood posts about building their own encoding methods

    of FFmpeg is not really a project ‘thanklessly maintained by one person’ (anymore) though.

      Create a FUSE library to use that as backing storage for a filesystem, and you can make use of the infrastructure for free cloud storage. Maybe twityouhubfs. Which could be a mighty block atop this supporting many other blocks.

    Why do people not remake or edit the censorship out of the memes? I usually do that because fuck advertisers and I’m not posting them on those shitty sites

    Glad to see ffmpeg is still going strong, I used it years ago to do some project 1999 EverQuest streaming on twitch running on a Manjaro dist install running EQ in wine.

    FFmpeg doesn’t deserve to be such a tiny block. Nothing else comes close to matching its stability and simplicity. There’s a reason it’s practically part of the foundation for all media software out there.

    Pornhub being the foundation of the internet may be seen as controversial by some.

      Maybe not specifically PH but porn actually always was the driving force for the net since day 1. We don’t have high speed net now because someone needed to download a linux-distro quicker. Or google harder. YouTube and vimeo and such came waaaaaaay later. There also were no social media where people needed to upload large dog-pics. It was porn. Everyone wanted their tits to download NOW not somewhere in the future.

      And I vividly remember the times where you had to wait for a long while to see your image grow line by line until you finally maybe saw said tit, and it surely - and hopefully - wasn’t a bird 😁

      I have no studies at hand but I’d bet part of my left nut on that theory. Hence I found that image concluding.

      I’d put yt under ph, but only just. Everything else, ph paved the way. And tbf, another porn site probably cleared the way for yt, though I couldn’t tell you which one.

        I remember the first time I saw the phrase “streaming video” was a website called “teen steam” (which I desperately wanted a credit card to access) in the late 90s / early 2000s.

        I’m sure you can guess what the content of that site was and I was sure that “streaming” was some new sex act I had yet to discover and wanted very much to find out. Sadly I was too young, too poor and logged onto the Internet in the school library at lunch time so it was always going to be a long shot.

          Haha I remember that time too well. Luckily I had a CC and I bought everything on the net back then and was so fascinated by it. Typing a number in and getting stuff. I ordered crap from the other side of the world, it was incredible. Yes, porn included. How could one resist that temptation back then, I was 12 or so 😁

      Unironically, a lot of tech improvements started to make/view porn better.

      Example: 3D models improvements.

    Thank god someone scratched out a letter in that mysterious word. Otherwise I may have seen something obscene. Now I have no idea what is meant to be written on that block 🤔

      As someone from the UK, I’m glad they did that. So I can see the image without going through passport control.

        Same here. I have to smuggle Brits across the border daily going through and from the internet highway and its tiring; sometimes they try to run out the car and I have to get them back in the box.

      I take it you’re not a big fan of censorship, so can you kindly tell me what the word is? (I’ve heard something fun happens if a .ml user writes “porn”)

        Pornhub? I don’t think .ml censors “porn” (I can see your comment just fine), just some slurs/offensive words afaik.

        Edit: And I can see my own comment just fine.

          Go figure, coulda sworn I saw another user have theirs corrected to removed, but I guess that must’ve been the app they were using
