just a dude on the internet
I use revanced. None of youtube’s changes upsets me because I know within hours/days they’ll be patched out.
I know all the private alternatives are useful, but using the google ecosystem directly without dealing with their money grubbing schemes feels like nice way of saying “suck it”
It's almost like if they want people to not hate their country they should stop being a corrupt authoritarian hellhole
I want this to happen. It would be hilarious
Reminder to get Indie Wiki Buddy to automatically be redirected to ad-free versions of fandom wikis or to be redirected to actual genuine wikis, for example, TF2 Fandom Wikis get redirected to the official TF2 Wiki.
No, the creator has been paid for the sponsorship beforehand. If you were never going to get the products that are sponsored then there’s no difference between skipping it or letting it play and ignoring it.
I mean yeah, youtube does track the times in videos people do watch and are engaged in, but by skimming through almost any video you can see many people skip around and don’t actually watch the full videos.
Sponsorblock just saves me from manually skipping past the sponsorships. I was never going to buy a shilled product to begin with anyway. I buy things based on my own research, not what a youtuber says I should buy.
Nothing is going to change if all the companies violating rights and stuff keep getting just a slap on the wrist. Yeah, 368 million is a lot, but it’s pocket change when considering tiktok brings in over 9 billion revenue a year.
ahaha one of the best uses of sweet bro and hella jeff i’ve seen. got a huge nostalgia hit from this lol
I don’t buy this. Plenty of games allow you to adjust gravity on the fly using console commands. All they would have to do if you enter a new planet’s atmosphere, is adjust the gravity value.
Source engine has allowed this forever, changing gravity on the fly. No reason it can’t be implemented in other engines.
Quit playing the numbers game. It’s all irrelevant. Those numbers are there to go up, give you that dopamine, and get you addicted. Yeah, it’s hard, but once you keep reminding yourself that most social media is designed to be addictive and is genuinely detrimental to mental health, you will begin to stop caring.
Vivaldi is going to block this. It is a thing being built into the engine and they are going to be blocking it in their browser.
I know people say Vivaldi is slow but they’ve done some refactoring recently. Gave it a whirl and it’s as fast as Edge now on my old crappy laptop.
If you’re on android check out spotube.
Both Sludge Life games. A bit unconventional but I found a lot of spots in the games where I would just stand there and take in the various scenes going on. Both games can be beaten fairly quick but it took me hours to get through them because I kept stopping to just take in everything going on.
First time hearing about this. Installed it on both my laptop and desktop. Helped 3 people so far :)
My guess is the more casual nature of the communication going on. It’s less formal than putting in the effort of creating a published work like an article or video. Here you can just put the words in a box and hit go, your content is on the internet. Articles and videos require more time and effort to put together, so it would make sense to me for those to appear more formal, even if the content isn’t the most serious.
Archive.today works with more sites, such as NYT. This is a link to the article OP was trying to read.
I’d like to recommend this video by a retired Microsoft OS engineer about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Bard work. It has lots of technical mumbo jumbo, but Dave tries to explain it in simpler terms.
I had it enabled for a bit and everything worked fine, but I was worried about accidentally triggering it so disabled it before hearing about the false alarms.
Here’s an article from the CBC about it.
Meanwhile in Canada it’s being recommended to disable emergency SOS on both iPhones and Androids because of how many false 911 calls they end up placing, causing first responders to waste time on non-emergencies.
I switched to Vivaldi a couple months ago, and previously used brave in the past before growing to dislike it. It surprises me how many brave-heads ignore Vivaldi’s existence. It’s just a better Brave. No crypto BS and lots of poweruser features.
