Why does Vimeo require me to verify my age in the UK to watch Robert Pike talking computer science?

Surveillance, got to track you all across the internet.

In Greece (EU). Can’t play it either. I’m getting:

Compliance with the absurd and draconian OSA

because otherwise how would the queen know what you're up to all the time? :D

Since she was probably sent by God to rule, I assume he called her back upstairs upon her passing. In this case, she can just ask the big man.

Funnily enough, yt-dlp has no trouble downloading it.

Side note: we do have a Queen. She's married to the King.

Hah! Fair point. Not sure why she would want to surveil me, but at this point...

yeah, i use that often, eg when a video is slow on a website - at least yt-dlp will shard out multiple piece-downloaders, and I can get the video in a few seconds or minutes, and just watch it. Also great for anonymizing sharing videos - download the actual video, share that. Not an url (:

In much the same vein, I rarely actually watch stuff _on_ netflix, through a browser - I watch sped up, and the quality just degrades. Since I pay for it, I feel nothing for downloading a ripped copy to watch it locally :D
