I think I might be in trouble and I'm genuinely freaking out.
I use an unlicensed program to create art and post it on instagram, and recently someone approached me and asked to commission me to create art for their business and I ended up doing that and we parted ways. A month later, about a week or two ago, they messaged me out of the blue asking me for source files/editable ones, and I did. They never got back to me after, which is never like them, they would always respond - and I've tried messaging them a couple of times.
I kept asking what would the reason be, and it just hit me that perhaps its the unlicensed program that I use, and from what I understood upon googling about said program, if they were to open a file created with an unlicensed version, they would get a watermark that tells them the file was created on an unlicensed one. is this true? I'm seriously losing sleep and and can't stop panicking, I already suffer from anxiety attacks and heart problems, this is really keeping me uneasy and scared.
would I get sued for this? please guys help me

Why don't mp4s have emedded subtitles?
Hi, apologies if this is off-topic. This isn't a super important question it's just something I'm curious about. I've noticed that most mkv files I download have embedded subtitles but mp4 files tend to come with an external srt file. My question is why? I know mp4 doesn't support embedded srt but it does support the movtext format which can be converted to very easily using ffmpeg. So why isn't it more common to see mp4s with embedded movtext subs?

Working Youtube Adblock for desktop, iOS and Android
Hey everyone, just wanted to re-post this Youtube adblocker as it's had some major updates since I last shared it.
We've now got 1080p, live streams & downloads.
Lately I've been pretty annoyed as Youtube have successfully stopped most adblockers from working (or they only work sometimes). I'm a bit over reading the adblock threads, deleting my history and cookies, updating my filter lists and all that...
I'm a programmer by trade so decided to try and fix this mess for everyone by making something that just works.
I ended up making a free little plugin called "GoodTube" that I'd like to share with you all.
Here's what it does;
REMOVES 100% OF PAGE AND VIDEO ADS. It also blocks server side injected ads.
Allows background play (so you can turn your phone screen off and keep listening).
Allows you to download the audio / video / entire playlist in up to 8K quality with the click of a button (at the bottom of the player).
Works on both desktop and mobile (iOS and Android).
Works in all major browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, etc).
Proxies in Youtube videos from different servers (in up to 1080p).
Removes shorts.
Removes unwanted search results ("You might also like this", "Other people also watched", etc).
Removes thumbnails for other recommended videos that pop up when a video finishes (I really hate these, try without it's nice).
Keeps you up to date, prompting you to update the plugin directly from Youtube when there's a new release. These updates are mostly just new features and minor bugfixes. So far 100% of the time this plugin has worked, so you don't need to update all the time or anything like that.
And it keeps the good stuff like;
The beloved algorithm / watch history.
Keyboard shortcuts.
Subtitles.
Chapters.
Autoplay.
Playlists.
Picture in picture / the miniplayer.
Theater mode.
Live streams.
It's easy enough to install, all the instructions are below.
Here's some screenshots:

# How to install on Desktop
1. Disable your other adblockers. You can do this for Youtube only.
2. Install this browser extension "Tampermonkey":
[https://www.tampermonkey.net/](https://www.tampermonkey.net/)
3. Click on this link and press "Install":
[https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js](https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js)
4. If you're using CHROME
You need to turn on developer mode for this extension. Check out the screenshots below for instructions.

5. If you're using FIREFOX, you need to change the setting in the below screenshot to enable autoplay.

And that's it. Now you just open up Youtube and should work fine! :)
# How to install on Android (mobile)
This will take you a few minutes, because mobiles are generally sort of annoying...
Just follow the steps below and I promise it'll work for you! :)
Just FYI, I've recently discovered that you can also install extensions on normal Firefox, so you may not need to download Firefox Nightly! Other than that, the steps are the same.
First off you'll need to install this app called "Firefox Nightly". You can find it on Google Play. (Basically it's an official release of Firefox, but it also allows you to install browser extensions.)
Once it's installed, open Firefox Nightly. Now click the 3 dots down the bottom right, and go to "Settings":

Ive been a leacher my whole life, can someone explain how to seed properly?
Ive been searching the sub and can only find reasons on why we need to seed, but not a single explination on how to do it safely and properly.
If it requires a vpn running 100% of the time I likely will stay a leecher.
edit: i should further explain that the last time i was extensively torrenting was when i was homeless going and using superstore wifi to pirate shit almost 10-15 years ago. I know its changed since then and im still using the older methods.

Now go back to the main screen of Firefox Nightly (just hit back back back until you're there).
Then go to the following webpage: [https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js](https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js)
Click "Install":

That's it. You're good to go. Open up Youtube in Firefox Nightly and happy days!!
I recommend using Firefox Nightly just like you would the Youtube app. Put it on your home screen somewhere / make Youtube the homepage for an even smoother experience :)
Please note: If you see a mostly blank screen on the Youtube homepage, don't worry! This is normal. Just search for something.
Simply sign into Youtube and the homepage will be full of your favorite videos once again.
# How to install on iOS / iPhone (mobile)
This will take you a few minutes, because mobiles are generally sort of annoying...
Just follow the steps below and I promise it'll work for you! :)
First off you'll need to install this app called "Orion Browser". You can find it on the App Store. (Basically it's an alternative browser that allows you to install browser extensions.)
Once it's installed, open Orion Browser.
Go to Extensions.
Install an extension called "Violentmonkey". Do NOT try and use Tampermonkey instead, it doesn't work on iOS.
Now go to the following webpage: [https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js](https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube/raw/main/goodtube.user.js)
Click "Install" on the page the pops up.
That's it. You're good to go. Open up Youtube in Orion Browser and happy days!!
I recommend using Orion Browser just like you would the Youtube app. Put it on your home screen somewhere / make Youtube the homepage for an even smoother experience :)
Please note: If you see a mostly blank screen on the Youtube homepage, don't worry! This is normal. Just search for something.
Simply sign into Youtube and the homepage will be full of your favorite videos once again.
# Why?
I'll never pay a company that is slapping ads on one of the largest archives of music / film / art in the world and blackmailing me to remove them. They really have a social responsibility that isn't being taken seriously...
So anyway, screw em. Install this little plugin and enjoy no ads 🎉
# Other stuff
This took around 5 weeks to create and a thousand black coffees. I hope you enjoy it.
The code is free and open source. You're welcome to copy and change it as you see fit! Here's the Github repo:
https://github.com/goodtube4u/goodtube
If you're a programmer and would like to help out, please get in touch. I have a few questions to anyone with the experience or willingness to help this project.
Any questions, problems, etc - let me know! Peace out homies.
