amanneedsamaid,

Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I’ve had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.

amanneedsamaid,

Never has been, no default e2ee, and those exploits that leaked a ton of users locations.

Not to mention, no messenger is verifiably private unless it is fully open source.

amanneedsamaid,

“Here’s what someone who has never created a private messenger thinks about Whatsapp’s privacy.”

Why would anyone care about what he has to say? 💀

amanneedsamaid,

I don’t have time currently to look for a detailed solution, but assuming you installed using:


<span style="color:#323232;">fc-cache -f -v
</span>

I would start by looking for how to revert that command.

amanneedsamaid,

I use LaTeX, and edit using Emacs. The nice thing about LaTeX is the editor you use doesn’t matter.

amanneedsamaid,

LaTeX was my entry point into plain text (and honestly computing in general), really good recommendation.

is making the watching experience worse on and Microsoft Edge.

I didn't believe it the first time I heard abt it, since it sounded more like a conspiracy theory than a actual thing, but it's true. Google does add 5s timeout specifically to Firefox and Edge users when they try to watch a video on YT. If you want to know more about it, Mental Outlaw make a very good video abt it (Link: https://youtu.be/v4gXhmzQztE ). I think Google did this, to get people moving to Chrome since the majority will think this is a browser issue, nobody would expect YouTube to purposely doing this. In the attached Screenshot you can see that YouTube checks the user agent of browsers to see if it's Edge, Firefox or not. You can bypass this by changing your User agent to chrome.

Edit: Due a lot of people saying a lot of different things abt it, I want to say that I'm not 100% sure abt how exactly this works, there is a inbuild delay by Google, but who is actually affected, there are a lot of different opinions abt it. I wasn't able to verify this myself in LibreWolf, but this could be the case due my intensive hardening I did and this is just a result of what I found in the code and what Mental Outlaw and others shared across social media, if you got different or additional infos abt this feel free to comment and I suggest everyone ti also check the comment section.

amanneedsamaid,

And Newpipe has a forked version with Sponsorblock integration. Or, Libretube has it built in as well.

amanneedsamaid,

I use an rsync bash script and a 1TB SSD. I keep media unencrypted, and use Veracrypt containers for any sensitive data I need to back up.

amanneedsamaid,

LMAO what a horrible take, not even one of those countries originated in a similar way to Israel 💀

amanneedsamaid,

Even if that argument was viable, I would argue Israel’s genocide starting less than a century ago makes it much more imperative to act against it.

amanneedsamaid,

Fuck no.

amanneedsamaid,

I feel this, Fedora filled the gap for me. I needed more current software, but if that isn’t a priority Debian is amazing.

amanneedsamaid,

Also add that the child is slipping a stack of Benjamins into Supermans trunks.

amanneedsamaid,

And just beyond the pitfall trap of vim is the portal to the infinite journey of Emacs.

amanneedsamaid,

Agreed, I wouldn’t enjoy my life nearly as much if life had a “meaning”, or if humans were provably special or significant in the universe.

amanneedsamaid,

Great, now I need to memorize “RFC 3339”, because I officially have a new favorite date format. Thank you!

amanneedsamaid,

Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD

amanneedsamaid,

If true, that’s the only W Trump has ever taken.
