That goes for any unexploded ordnance, we are still cleaning up regular unexploded shells from World War 1 more than 100 years after the fact and every now and then it still claims a victim.

It sucks, but you have to offset that against the benefit. The longer the Russians occupy parts of Ukraine, the more atrocities they are able to commit against civilians (cf. Bucha, Irpin, Izium, Kherson,...). Also when people talk about the civilian casualties, they always forget that the bulk of the Ukrainian soldiers were civilians just over a year ago, and they would love nothing more than to return to a peaceful civilian life. Their lives are valuable as well and should be protected too.

If cluster munitions helps them to get rid of the Russians faster and with a lot less casualties, it is a trade off we should make.

In a technical sense, they're not similar at all.

ATACMS is a ground launched ballistic missile, so it follows a straight-forward parabolic trajectory: it climbs very high, goes very fast and then comes down on top of programmed GPS coordinates. Storm Shadow is a stealthy air launched cruise missile, it flies low at subsonic speeds and can manoeuver following a pre-progammed path (for example, to go around known air defense locations) and had advanced optics to locate the target.

Technologically Storm Shadow is way more advanced and it has a higher payload too. It also costs 4 times as much per missile, there are less of them and they can't carry a cluster bomb warhead because in Europe we decided not to make those weapons anymore.

Both would be very useful for Ukraine.

Thanks for that. It seems to be working for me. I just set it to work on my 12 year old, 13000 comment history.

This is not what OP is asking for. PowerDeleteSuite is limited by what the Reddit API allows access to, so about 1000 comments from your profile. It doesn't let you feed a list of comment URLs to it for deletion.

You can't really blame this on the people. The centralized platforms offered something that for most people worked a lot better than what was already existing. In the beginning, those corporate platforms were actually quite good so it's only natural that people flocked to it.

It's only after those companies achieved a monopoly in their market, that they started pulling a bait-and-switch and began to enshittify their sites. Network effect makes it so that mass migration to something that's technically better is unlikely. This bait-and-switch is where they stole it from the people.

I get the feeling we are now talking about two different things. If by "cracked" you mean that someone can rip and redistribute the content once they get access to it, sure, it's very hard to protect against that.

What I mean is: it's possible to restrict access to the service so that you cannot watch a video unless you've played the ad first or you are a paying customer. As an example: Netflix or any of the movie streaming platforms. There's no add-on or special browser that allows you to use Netflix without being a paying customer, and if YouTube implements their plan, they can make it so you won't be able to circumvent it just by using Firefox, like you claimed.

Sure it does. Technically, it's perfectly feasible to put up an ad-wall.

I find it hilarious to see a +100 upvoted comment that when you try to read it, it's as if you had a stroke, for example:

I sorta felt the same before I started to delete... but it felt weirdly cathartic and satisfying once it was done.

The only thing that bugs me now is that there are still comments that I can't get to. My user profile shows zero comments, but googling my username + reddit, I can still find old posts, and I want them gone too.

I don't see who WSL is for. People in really locked-down corporate environments?

That's me pretty much. Locked down low spec Windows 10 laptop that would probably suffocate under the weight of a full VM anyway, so I'm happy to have access to a proper Linux shell with a nice-ish terminal that's a lot less clunky than "git bash", MingW etc.

I use it for ad hoc scripting and things like interacting with webservices (curl), massaging text files with tools like jq, sed, awk and to use Azure and AWS cli tools to interact with cloud infrastructure.

It also doesn't have ads, though YouTube could probably theoretically embed the ads in the video itself.

They could also just not let you have the video until you've watched the ad.
