The only thing worth a YouTube premium subscription is probably the higher bitrate formats if you download/archive all the videos you care about. Latest version of yt-dlp gives you access to those (except the highest audio quality format, I think it was 256kbps AAC), but this will probably be patched sooner rather than later.
w3m, qutebrowser, firefox built from source with telemetry and other stuff patched out . Firefox really when a site didn’t work on w3m or qutebrowser.
I read the article, it’s still a crap browser. Even if the article is bullshit, a browser that advertises itself as good for privacy and then giving you “free money”, it doesn’t add up. You can say all you want, you can even be a crypto shill for all I care, if they give you anything for free, you are the product, nothing is free.
Something always felt wrong with this browser. After using it for a few minutes I uninstalled it right away, it didn’t feel right.
Of course! It’s because of Threads! Don’t you guys get it? They stole their secrets!! It has absolutely nothing to do with how things are being run on twitter or because Elon Musk is a genius!!!
…
Fuck Musk and fuck twitter and all that goes with it.
Unnecessary stuff like waterproofing a phone? Yeah I agree.
with the right tools they already are
That’s the point, it is so you don’t have to require any special tools that you have to purchase or rent, or having to deal with glue and all that crap.
I prefer compact and waterproof design over an easily replaceable battery
You think because it’s replaceable it can’t be compact and waterproof? Ever used a watch?
A more current example before you complain that no one uses watches now and only smartwatches is an AirTag from crApple, they are waterproof, compact, and the battery is replaceable without any tools.
Go back to reddit and leave us alone. The community itself has decided that this was the official one (where most users are) so this is it.
The biggest scammer of them all runs Twitter, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
Money always wins in the end I see. Fucking sellout.
What’s with wanting to replace all judges/referees in every sports with robots? Computer/Video assistance is fine, replacing them with bots is not.
For tennis in particular since that’s what the article is about, the way it is now doesn’t interfere with the match, it’s a quick check, the decision is taken and they move on. Unlike football (soccer for you yanks), VAR is so much worse. In my opinion it should have stopped at goal line technology, and maybe offsides on goals, but checking every 5 minutes if something happened or not? That’s just interference at this point. Remember when 5 minutes of added time used to be considered a lot? Now that’s like average. And then you have baseball, they want to add the auto strike zone. And it goes on and on and on in every sport. It never ends, every sport is being polluted by “robots umpires”.
I guess I’m just too old fashion or a purist or whatever you want to call it, but I want the human aspect when I’m watching/attending sports events, and humans make mistakes. Sure I’ve been angry at some decisions taken over the years, but that’s also part of the beauty of sports. Sometimes it goes your way, sometimes it doesn’t, it makes the event so much more enticing.
I’ve a better option: have absolutely nothing to do with Meta, don’t interact with it, block it in your network, avoid it like the plague. Right now I’m so glad I’m in Europe because that shit cannot launch here, that’s how bad you should tell people Meta is and make then join you.
There are a lot of Americans I’m sure that would be like “but it’s Europe, why should we care what they do?”, you should care because they at least try to protect people’s privacy, to some extent, it’s far from perfect, but on this case it’s working fine as this shit cannot operate here… for now.
I haven’t had Facebook since like 2008. My family and friends keep asking me to join it, and I tell them I’ll never do that. If they want to contact me, they know where to find me elsewhere.
They’ve been dusted for a while now, we’re just taking our time with the sharpening of the blade. We don’t want to make the same mistake again, having to drop it twice or thrice on someone. It’s inhumane and all, you know?
I’m pretty sure that was the plan all along.
That’s pretty much implied in my message with the 256 kbps AAC which I believe is what youtube music is using (format id 141).
Downloads and background playback on mobile is already possible,
Whatever I don’t even care what you guys think anyway, I gave my opinion, you don’t like it, that’s fine.
