I might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.

Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.

As someone else said in this thread, I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.

I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.

I love you brother…

“galactic balls” - I am so going to use this phrase…

Linkedin is Facebook with a necktie and a blazer on.

Agree? (Lol)

Privacy is not binary, it is a spectrum.

You have no fucking idea what a beautiful thing you just wrote.

Not an email service per se, but rather an email-forwarding service, and offers unlimited duck [dot] com aliases with their browser extension and/or mobile app.

I have used their email forwarding service for a while (it is quite decent) before moving over to Firefox Relay.

And if you wsnt a FOSS option for unlimited email aliases - Duckduckgo is a good option.

Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a “lost sale” - but as Aaron Swartz said - “lost sales” are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing…

Thanks ! This is it.

Excuse me - if I bought your product and paid for it, in what universe am I not investing into you, and instead you are investing into me??

HP is a steaming pile of shit.

I don’t exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope

• “it should not be a concern when people pirate your content, it should be when people don’t even want to pirate your content”

I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is “your content”

Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”

What’s that about only getting 720p though?

ABP has that stinky practice of marking ads as “acceptable” (basically those companies pay ABP to be on their “allowlist”).

As has already been mentioned - stop using ABP, and use uBO instead. It’s a lifesaver.

They were sold to ZippoApps, who specializes in adding crapware to apps.

What else would we expect anyway…

Are there e-readers with very very dim light that still allow comfortable reading?

I have not used any myself, but I have heard that both Kindle e-reader and Kobo support this.

To provide “personal recommendation”, an App would most likely need to profile you, i.e. track your viewing habits and trends, and forecast your areas of interests.

IMO this goes directly against the concept of privacy.

On the brighter side, I think Freetube (local, on windows) and LibreTube (on Android, but needs a piped account) can provide personalized video suggestions, but you yourself should check them out.

I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.

Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.

And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.

to see if it was worthwhile.

If you are done with what you were set out to do, then sure, upgrade it if it’s free.
