How is anyone still using twitter? Holy shit
A Fed or specifically a CIA agent. People have been using the term ever since Terry Davis (a schizo programmer who developed his own OS) got popular. In one of his videos he says at some point that “the CIA ni***ers glow in the dark; you can see them if you’re driving. You just run them over.”
The real solution is to allow users to flash custom firmware onto those headsets. There is no way I would ever buy VR/AR equipment if I don’t even have control over it. A machine that doesn’t follow the operator’s commands is useless.
I once showed a person who was constantly scrolling and sitting through ads on their phone that those ads can just be blocked with little effort. They were interested in the idea so I introduced them to Firefox and uBlock Origin and I even helped them setting it up. Days later I meet them again and notice they’re scrolling through ads again. I ask them why they’re using all those apps instead of the Firefox we set up. They told me that using Firefox is difficult because dealing URLs and setting up bookmarks is complicated. I can’t ever imagine being inconvenienced by a different way of doing things to the point where I go back to watching ads.
The information in this is surreal considering it was published by a bourgeois news outlet. It almost makes me feel a little uneasy because why would they suddenly not care anymore.
It’s a private instance. Maybe I’ll open it up, not sure.
mandating a login requirement is what I’ve been afraid of. I would just stop using yt altogether if it came down to that.
Same. Once they go that far I’ll just # zfs destroy
Invidious and move on to PeerTube. I hope more people will move as well when that happens.
My instance is running on a Server in my homelab. The dynamic IP is just how my ISP works. I’ve been running this instance since late 2019. So far Google has only ever blocked my IP whenever I hit their Servers with too many API calls too quickly. Last time they blocked me though was probably 1/2 - 2 years ago. The current version of Invidious does try to minimize API calls which helps a lot. Honestly Google changing API calls/value names and patching the source code is more annoying to deal with than IP bans.
The only way I can see them permanently blocking instances with non-static IPs is if they go down the Twitter route where you can’t even view anything unless you’re logged in.
If you host your own invidious instance on a network with a non-static IP then a ban will only ever be temporary. It happened to my private instance many times. I found that setting the channel refresh interval in the config to 2 hours makes it less likely (or basically 0% if you’re the only user) for them to block your IP.
Also the fact that they have a sponsor. I can’t take anyone with a sponsor serious.
Not mastodon but also part of the fediverse: https://spectreofcommunism.boo/
Gallium-Nine also tends to be buggy if used with 32-bit software in particular. All the 32-bit games I’ve tried have problems with it. They usually work fine for the first 30-60 minutes and after that the framerate becomes unstable to the point where the game becomes unplayable. It happens consistently with Gallium-nine but not at all with DXVK.
I’ve seen some that try to tell people that we currently have “chrony-capitalism” (or some other prefix that some “expert” came up with) perpetuated by a few bad apples up at top. Those are my personal favorite.
It’s insane how hard they’re spinning everything to make it look like everyone is out for them and they’re the little innocent ones. AcKschuaLly there is no empire just a group of quirky and totally autonomous friends who decide to help each other out.
I didn’t realize how much worse YouTube has gotten since I last used it in 2019. Still, through Invidious I’ve been noticing that the comments on popular videos have gotten weird, especially in recent years. Also it seems like YouTube is deleting any comment that is even remotely negative. Because all I ever see anymore are generic positive praise comments. Meanwhile there are content farms out there that put out videos for “Kids” on a rapid pace that contain borderline sexual content. I wish more people would start using PeerTube because I have a feeling that YouTube won’t be getting any better in the future.
incognito mode in chrome is little more than the illusion of being logged off.
Which shouldn’t be a surprise since Chrome itself is just another one of Google’s spyware products.
Back when the conflict started for the first few weeks here (Central Europe) on TV every program that featured Ukraine soldiers showed them with brown scotch tape on their upper arms. After a while they no longer gave a shit. Probably because they thought that the Wolfsangel would be unique enough for the commoners.
US Imperials about to seethe
At this point I’m convinced that all of them are funded by the CIA, unless proven otherwise. I can easily see them being another variant of “Radio Free Foobar”-outlets.
