Aargh.
Indeed it is. If it had amazing capabilities and performance off road, if it was bulletproof, if its body panels (and apparently wheels) wouldnt fall off, if it had perfect self driving capabilities… It would still be stupid.
But it doesn’t have any of those tings. Its extremely stupid.
I just meant that the other languages I once learned, I don’t know anymore. :D Its been such a long time since I used them at all, I can understand some individual words if I read them, I can say “my name is ____” and “hello” in those languages but thats about it.
But yeah, I know how to speak my native language and English, thats two, so its technically correct that I know “multiple” languages :D
Hehe. Funnily enough, English is the 3rd non-native language I learned but the only one I actually know these days. I’ve forgotten pretty much everything of the others.
Yes, that’s why I thought I’d mention the thing. Sorry for not being clear, English is not my native language.
Works fine for me. Literally never had a issue.
I’m not logged into youtube with any device because google demands to know my phone number in order to “verify” its me, logging into my youtube account. So as a solution I just don’t log in anymore. I still watch stuff though.
The sync thing would require a account of some sort. And some other tracking stuff. I’m fine with not having any. I don’t watch so much youtube that I forget what I watched and what I didn’t watch. But I get the desire to have some way of syncing.
Freetube has a thing where it attempts through Invidious first, if thats down, it gets the stuff straight from youtube.
I use Freetube. Its a app, you don’t sign in, you can subscribe to stuff but those are stored locally (as I understand it?), adblock, sponsorblock, hide shorts etc are built in. Of course since you don’t use it with a account, you can’t comment, but that’s just a nice bonus feature. You can still read the comments if you so choose. Because it doesn’t load all the trackers and bullshit, its also about a billion times lighter than the youtube page, which is nice since my laptop is 700 years old and struggles to run anything, really.
It does have “popular” and “trending” pages but those rarely work, another nice bonus.
The only downside is that there is no “sort by popular” option when browsing a channels videos. But all in all, highly recommend it. Apparently there are other such apps available but thats the only one I’ve used.
Oh, nice. That /explore site was a good find. Thanks for letting me know.
Sort of similar to kagi.com, they have that https://kagi.com/smallweb/ thing going on
As others have pointed out, this is also a problem with how they are advertising it.
If duct tape was advertised as something that you can use to hold your roof beams together, you’d have a issue with that.
Your TV is missing
Needs to tap phones with a real friend? I guess I’ll never be able to use it then :D
Also, no android app…?
Also, also, it was not the first social media. Irc-galleria (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC-Galleria) and other were first :)
Luckily it seems to be making Europe and Canada stronger as well. Putin can weaken the US all he wants, but as long as Europe and Canada are not just standing around with their hands in their pockets, doing nothing, it wont benefit russia too much.
Yeah I didn’t mean to say that its been that bad forever. Its gotten worse in the last 10-15 years. But it started ages ago, back in the ancient times. I remember my 1987 Volkswagen had a buzzer if I had lights on when the ignition was off. That was a good thing to have tbh, especially back then. But now you get a warning bong just because you have a kilogram of apples on the back seat.
Yeah the beeps and bongs are not a new thing. Clarkson raged about it 20+ years ago. “I KNOW THE DOOR IS OPEN THERES A HUGE GAP NEXT TO ME”
What car is that? So that I know never to buy or suggest one
Thats why I cant use my google accounts anymore. No gmail, no youtube. Because they want my phone number. Fine, I’ll use Freetube and Protonmail. Thats completely fine for me lol.
Requested account deletion but they’re ignoring that mail.
According to the news article here, you need to post pro-LGBTQ stuff and they will delete your account.
I got tired of the new games being shit and/or not done when. I think last game I bought new was No Man’s Sky (yes I know, its decent now, I still play it sometimes), after that disappointment I just gave up. I haven’t been paying attention on whats coming, whats the newest big game… I just play emulators. I play the games that I wanted to play when I was a kid, but couldn’t. My gaming journey started with Amiga 500, then I got a NES, after that a Game Gear, then a Play Station 1. So I’ve been gaming a lot of SNES stuff lately, I downloaded a bunch of Atari titles. Sega games are next on the list.
Theres so much to play, I will die before I run out of stuff. I think I’ll never buy a new game ever again.
Same. I remember how everything seemed amazing and the future was exciting, you never knew what the next big and amazing thing would be. Then the next big amazing thing turned out to be facebook, google, advertising and personal data harvesting and after that everything has been complete shit.
But thats why the internet revival thing, is a thing. Thats why the amount of IRC users have started to go up. Thats why more and more people are looking into self hosting things… I’m all for that sort of stuff.
Probably because the EU is better than the US. Just because its not perfect and has flaws, doesn’t make it as bad or worse as the US.
