@prologic@twtxt.net Invidious?
@prologic@twtxt.net Huh that’s interesting, is there any more details to this?
So a way to opt out of the algorithm? What is the negative I’m missing here? 😅
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net wowee, pot-kettle-black Google!
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net just what the dating app world needs, more robots…
@mckinley@twtxt.net Bloody hell, things really have blown up
50mb to now 700mb… I dunno, I know the numbers would have to inflate quite a bit since the days of 2006 etc but for a distro with that ethos I would have thought maybe 300-400mb would be more in line with what it wants to be.
Pretty cool!
@prologic@twtxt.net ick, that’s even worse.
@prologic@twtxt.net You’re set! Especially being you’re a self-hoster in as much as you can, I assume the old connection was a bottle neck sometimes?
Jeebus! I can only dream 😆
It really does need viable competition. It’s a difficult one though, because it has by virtue of it being of the best early video sites in town and subsequent popularity, an absolute treasure trove of content, as bender says. But all owned by now what is a jackass company that loves being a monopoly.
Sadly the only way it changes is the people that post content on there move it all to other viable places, old and new, like mass migration. I don’t see how that happens, especially when content creators don’t want to lose the ad-revenue. But hopefully something gives eventually.
Somehow, I am not surprised. Like the cigarette industry all over again.
Thank you for this!
@prologic@twtxt.net At least Cat 6 though surely?
@prologic@twtxt.net exactly! Plus they get pirated anyway even with every restriction they apply, so they’re just inconveniencing all of us including those of us who would pay money.
I’m glad I switched to Jellyfin for my home library a while ago. They say “buy” movies but like most services, it’ll most likely “buy” a subscription to access said movie, that can be revoked any time. Unless you could buy a movie and have the file on your hard drive DRM-free, but that will never happen with the movie studios involved.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net WTF did I read 🤣
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net bahahaha wat
Would help if Microshaft didn’t force the TPM/Secure Boot requirement. I bypassed that requirement using a registry tool and was able to upgrade one of my “incompatible” machines to Windows 11 just fine.
But yes, in any case there’s always Linux. My Thinkpad X200 from 2008 still flies along with Arch Linux and a lightweight DE.
Removed? Seriously lobste.rs?
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org bahaha 🤣 yeah I use cable ties maybe.. A lot.
So it begins.
When it’s a hot day and you realize your Raspberry Pi 4B is running at nearly 80c (it has a case but no fan or heatsinks) and you CBF waiting for one to arrive.
Works a treat 😅 Just grabbed an unused PC fan, adapted it to an old 5v phone wall charger and hey presto, instantly cooler by 25c+.
That is pretty hilarious 🤣
Bahaha, hilarious but also probably the future 😵

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Apparently it’s not necessarily targeted at Firefox per se, as the delayed loading thing has happened on Chromium-based browsers too, but more YouTube targeting those running an adblocker. The only part about that I don’t quite get is why just spoofing a Chrome user agent often fixes it.
This war on adblockers by Google is particularly interesting with the way they’re doubling down so desperately.
For one thing I bet their higher ups making these decisions probably run adblockers themselves, but the other thing is it’s arguably downright dangerous to not use at least a basic adblocker.
And I’m not even talking about the wider web, I mean even on YouTube itself. It’s plagued with scam ads, nsfw ads (ironic given how YT insists the content creators have to keep things clean to satisfy the ad payers) and even ads that’ll lead to actual malware, if not spyware.
YouTube, if you can’t even moderate your ad network properly, let alone the fact that at the very least they are WAY too frequent/obnoxious, you cannot insist on people disabling their adblocker
Nah, I just had really hyper sensitivity to sensations and pain for a few days. Like even getting up in the morning and putting on a slightly cold shirt actually “hurt”. And just generally felt sore and joint pains. Was really unpleasant, but once that passed for me it was like a regular cold. So I was both unlucky and lucky with my experience. It’s interesting how wildly different people experience it.
Yeah, yikes.
Maybe a little hyperbolic but definitely an interesting argument.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah fair point. I wonder then what will happen with embedding and third party players like NewPipe?
Bloody hell…

Another reason I won’t use Google Drive.
Wow that’s a bugger. Can’t you just replace the disk? Not sure what’s involved on those Macs though.
Side point, I swear hard disks, whether it be the mechanical drives or flash memory, seem to die much faster these days…
Corporation with monopoly gets lazy, news at 11
I’m not sure about installing Unbound now anyway. Apparently your ISP can see the unencrypted DNS queries.
My ISP is Starlink and while its a great connection for me, I wouldn’t want to give them anymore data than necessary lol
Yeah I looked up the conversion for us Aussies, so about $21 AUD
@prologic@twtxt.net nice. Do you also use Unbound? I haven’t installed it yet but seems to be recommended by many alongside a DNS sinkhole.
I finally setup a Pi-Hole yesterday 👌
Optus are in for a world of pain. Bad enough with the data breaches they cause a large percentage of the country to have to be issued new license numbers, now they can’t even have basic redundancies in place.
Haven’t seen this using Brave and its blockers.
Anyway, people will always find workarounds. YT are shooting themselves in the foot.
@prologic@twtxt.net How you been going mate?
Sorry if anyone bounced off my Pod for a couple days. Had to renew the domain 👀
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh dear 😆
@prologic@twtxt.net My article I did a while back about no longer being solar powered, by the looks of it.
@slashdot@feeds.twtxt.net FFS there’s so many data breaches these days, who wants to give anyone/anything their personal data anymore?
But yes, looking up Bernie (I’m Aussie so not so familiar with his heritage), he clearly is Jewish so no idea what Ben is on about…
@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Wait, isn’t Ben Shapiro Jewish himself?
