Well at least he realized war is traumatic, imagine that.

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

youtube is trying to kill adblock again

it seem to only be getting worse every year

I haven't been getting ads, but have been getting inexplicable 30 second pauses every few minutes where nothing happens and I have to just sit there...syke, ain't nobody got time for that, in those 30 seconds I open yt-dlp and download the video to watch it locally. Suck it, Google.

How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart.

In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Because YT makes the performance much worse on non chrome browsers.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

They break from time to time, it's a game of cat and mouse.

I didn't even update yt-dlp.exe, my copy is a year out of date!

e: I just realized you said "converter", not "downloader"...so, uh, I guess it depends on what you're converting it to? Video audio -> just audio can be done locally via foobar2000, which is a free music player...so yt-dlp + foobar2000 will get the job done if that's what you're trying to do.
