This is from the creator of the ScienceClic YouTube channel [0]: “As part of the next video, which will be out in a few weeks, l'd like to invite you to take part in an experiment about color perception. If you don't experience color blindness, l'd greatly appreciate it if you could take this test. Feel free to try it as many times as you like, think about it as a game!” [0] https://youtube.com/@scienceclicen. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago
This is not correct for electric trucks. Replacing diesel motor and gearbox with battery pack and electric drive train is close to a zero sum game according to https://youtube.com/@electrictrucker?si=RjdWBQQXansebUyJ Definitely not a huge penalty. - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

Minitube is pretty great, and uses MPV (and therefore yt-dlp) behind the scenes. It has filters that are really neat, and is very minimalistic. I personally use it, too, to avoid distracting myself and to actively search for everything I consume. [1] https://flavio.tordini.org/minitube. - Source: Hacker News / 23 days ago
I can recommend "minitube" [1]. It's super minimalistic, and requires you to actively search for things to find them. No ads, no feeds, no short videos, nothing - just playlists for search terms. Uses yt-dlp and mpv behind the scenes, so it's using less than 5% CPU on my small Intel NUC machine, too. I can't stress enough how it is soooo much better in terms of what type of content I consume now.... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
