Back in the day, around 2005 or 2006 I did that and I had browse the internet in a text based browser for 2 days because KDE on that old machine took two days to compile.
It depends on the site, back then there were a lot of table-layouts which were quite fucked up in the text-only browser. Nowadays there are non of them which is good, but nowadays there are JavaScript only websites which don’t really work well. You can install a text only browser and try it out yourself.
I’d say if you want to have similar functionality of YouTube but without the drawback that they might disappear, and you’re ok with hosting something yourself (or pay for hosting) then I’d suggest PeerTube.
I have been doing that, the biggest problem I have is that they alter your videos if there is any copyright audio in it. In one video there was a radio running in the background on a home video from the 90ies and people were talking. YouTube muted the full audio because of a copyright claim even though it was private.
So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?...
The only person I know who has an iPhone is my fiance and we use Matrix to communicate or Signal as a fallback if I fuck up the Matrix server. So this app is not really for me.
I really wonder how long it will take Apple to just be able to detect and block it.
Most people have extremely weird ideas of what’s considered piracy and what isn’t. Downloading a video game rom is piracy, but if you pay money to some Chinese retailer for an SD card containing the roms, that’s somehow not piracy. Exploiting the free trial on a streaming site by using prepaid visa cards is somehow not...
Not if people would wake up and just use freaking Firefox which Google has not (that great of) control over. I feel it’s such a simple solution but somehow the Internet users collectively seem to have decided that they’d rather enjoy ads.
I can tell you that there are more than a handful songs on there preformed live by my band and then someone uploaded it who was there and we are not getting paid anything. I will not go after them obviously because I don’t have the time nor money to do so.
I really wonder if this will make any people move from Chrome to Firefox at all because they can’t use their adblockers anymore. There are probably so few people that most of them already are on Firefox I guess.

It's funny how google pretends the music on YouTube isn't straight up piracy and everyone just goes along with it
