Don’t know if any other browsers do it, but Firefox for desktop added an option when right clicking links to copy without URL tracker. I don’t know if it works on yt links, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.
Probably, but at least with genres like vocaloid, you’ll find plenty of people taking songs/videos from sites like Bilibili or Niconico and they’ll either just straight up upload the video or will instead just slap on subtitles and upload without consent. There’s also a similar phenomenon with anime music as well, but that’s usually for just the music.
One of the only things I could think of that isn’t super expensive would be a Dreamcast VMU (or two, only have 1 currently) and a US copy of Chu Chu rocket. Really not much I want that isn’t expensive and I definitely ain’t asking for expensive shit.
This is my dad in a nutshell. I’ll tell him about something simple on either his laptop or on whatever app he’s using on the smart TV and he’ll tell me to be quiet and that he can figure it out. I definitely think it’s a pride thing in us males. That, or he’s getting old and doesn’t want to deal with the realization that he doesn’t fully understand modern technology anymore.
I can’t recall my family having obscure movies. Don’t remember what it’s actually about, but I at least remember we had one Home On The Range VHS. Don’t recall ever watching it once, but this post made it come to the forefront of my memory
Last I checked, in China, you are legally required to put in your name and ID for games like mobile games. If I recall correctly, the law says something about making sure children don’t spend all day gaming. And just inputting a fake Chinese name and Chinese ID isn’t inherently bad. The bigger problem would be what the app does behind the scenes. That’s what I’d be more concerned about.
I’ve had to do this with PvZ2 Chinese edition back in 2021, which was originally started by PopCap Shanghai, so it wasn’t just some random small company making some relatively obscure game. I personally think it’s a dumb law, but there’s nothing a foreigner like myself can do to really change it.
I know around 2021 I had this problem once, when I opened PvZ2 Chinese version. I was able to lookup and find a website that contained fake names, addresses, and IDs. It worked after I tried a few. A couple years later and it didn’t work, so I have no idea what to do.
Also, I don’t know if you need to know it or not, but for those that don’t know, the top input field bar thing is for name and the one below it is for Chinese ID.
