It was the fourth Zelda, Link’s Awakening (1993), that was inspired by Lynch and Twin Peaks. If you’ve played it, the influence in that one is apparent — it’s about Link discovering an isolated community of eccentrics hiding a secret, and dreams play a major role. The game’s director, Takashi Tezuka, specifically wanted to emulate the mood of Dale Cooper discovering the town of Twin Peaks, meeting its oddball inhabitants, and trying to figure out what they’re hiding.
At least in the terminals I’ve used so far, holding down Ctrl causes you select the displayed form, not the verbatim form of what you’re highlighting. That is, if you’re in vim looking at a file with 10 long lines, selecting them this way will only select the portion that fits onto your screen, not the entire lines. And if your editor visually wraps them so they do fit on the screen, selecting this way will introduce unwanted line breaks, such that copying 10 lines and pasting can create 23 lines.
The iTerm2 feature being discussed means that selecting works the same way it does for graphical programs like Gedit or Pycharm or Word — if you select 10 lines you select 10 lines and your window size, font size and visual wrap setting don’t factor into it, and when you paste, you paste what you copied as it was. I would say this is the intuitive and reasonable behavior, but it’s one that is not simple to implement. A visual word wrap should be a purely visual thing and s back to back Cut and Paste should result in nothing changing.
See, I think the pedantic technicality is the other way around -- that is, saying "Well you're watching this movie on Netflix on a big screen, so that counts as TV." It feels a bit like mocking someone for claiming that the New York Times isn't a novel when they're both things you read off folded paper in your living room. When people say that watching Netflix on a big screen in the corner of their room isn't TV, they're using 'TV' to refer to a medium defined by a fixed programme of highly-scheduled and localized broadcasts. I think that's a much more useful definition than "TV is what you watch on a big screen in your room", because that medium has very unique and distinct features, frequently contains very different types of content, shapes its content differently, and is often consumed very differently. Why isn't going to the movies or playing Charlie Got My Finger on your phone counted as watching TV? Is it the screen size? The location? Or the difference between playing a specific video you've requested and tuning into a schedule of programs being broadcast to the entire region?
For me, the issue is that overwhelmingly the sponsor blocks are for products and services not available in or relevant to my country. Unlike the regular ads loaded through YouTube, they can’t be customized based on the viewer’s region. They will just assume that viewers of English-language content are in the USA, mostly. When you subtract mobile games, which I don’t play, I would say that maybe 1 in 20 of them are things I could buy even if I wanted to. So it just feels pointless, they see no benefit from my seeing the sponsorships and it wastes my time.
As for what sponsored content people are streaming: where I live Internet providers provide unlimited bandwidth during off peak hours (midnight to 8AM) but give you a monthly data limit outside those hours. If you are in an area not wired for high-speed internet, you might be relying on 4G which can have a monthly limit of as little as 50 GB… which isn’t much at all for a family. So it’s nice to be able to queue up all the videos you want to watch to download overnight, making the answer “everything/anything.”
(And that is the chief use of YouTube-DL for me. YouTube premium lets you save videos to watch offline, but only on mobile devices —- which typically have little storage for them —- and you can’t schedule it, you’d have to get up at midnight to manually select each video. With YouTube-DL I can schedule downloads of all my subscriptions and bookmarks to a nice big hard drive and then automatically put my PC to sleep.)
My schooling was very similar and I didn’t get to go home. Australian private boarding school. Toilet time was scheduled, you had your designated bed, designated desk, designated table at mealtimes. Timetables handed out at the beginning of each fortnight telling you which building to be in at which time. Alarm for waking up, showering, chapel service, national anthem, first session, cleaning duty, etc same time each day. Didn’t leave the school grounds for two years.
