Ask HN: Best Way to Contact YouTube
I woke up this morning to an email from YouTube stating that my channel is banned for repeated violations. They didn’t specify what I violated but it could be anything from copyright to hate speech.<p>Let me explain the content of all 5 videos on my 11 year + old channel.<p>1) a video of a squirrel that carried half a loaf of French bread along a fence and jumped into a tree. He dropped the bread during the jump but somehow managed to one hand/paw catch the bread and save it.<p>2) a friend of mine who was unable to ride a spring horse on a playground.<p>3)my son reacting to a scene from the movie hot rod(cool beans) this was a private video.<p>4) music video of my own music. No samples or other copyrighted material contained.
5) another music video also with no copyrighted material.<p>I submitted a request to the YouTube forum but I suspect that is a black hole where support requests go to die.<p>I’m not really all that upset and I have all the videos that are on the channel locally but the 1 strike you are banned seems awfully extreme. The fact that I wasn’t told that something was flagged or given any sort of heads up is really what bothers me. How can I get YouTubes attention?

Ask HN: Why have we accepted the cookie pop-up situation across the web?
You know what I'm talking about. Even at their best, the pop-ups for every single website to accept or choose cookies is ridicuous.<p>Can you imagine how much time in total we all lose to this?<p>And yet, these "solutions" to the data privacy questions have become widespread.<p>It's bad enough at normal times, let alone those who double triple quadruple bluff you into choosing the wrong setting.<p>This is a tech board.<p>Why have we all accepted this ridiculous situation?<p>Isn't there a better solution?

Ask HN: Why is building Windows apps so complicated?
So I decide to build a windows 11 app. I already know some .NET and C/family from school and look through the source of C# and it doesn't seem too complicated.<p>However, building Windows apps is very complicated even when you know C++ or C#.<p>1. I wanted to build Windows 11 apps and I had to choose between Windows Forms, WinUI3, Win32 and WPF I think. I don't really know the difference between the 3 and no one really explains that (unless Win32 which is obvious).<p>2. Apparently, WUP is no longer recommended. A few years they were pushing it to the max. Bummer.<p>3. I installed Visual Studio overnight (it comes with all the tools that building apps need). It downloaded 6GB of data and used 20GB of storage. All i want to build is a hello world app.<p>4. I create a project following a guide from Microsoft.<p>5. The app is extremely resource heavy and way too over-featured. I build the boilerplate app and Run it and it takes minutes to build (most of the time is downloading dependencies so not such a big deal).<p>6. I open the newly created app in Sublime Text (my editor) and I can't find a way to build the app anymore.<p>7. Because Visual Studio is so bloated, I download Visual Studio Code, which is far more simple but I can still not figure out how to build my app even with the various extensions VS code boasts.<p>8. After hours of googling, I formulate a script that can build the app from the command-line.<p>9. But I stil don't know how to build the app as the .exe file created does not execute.<p>10. I'm very disappointed.<p>The worst of all is that there is not even one good guide on the whole clearnet on how to do develop a Hello World windows app from scratch.
