Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.

Not really, they have a docker compose file ready to go, and it works without issue.

The more stuff they do to shoot themselves in the foot, the sooner something else comes in to replace youtube

I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services…

No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I’d gladly stop using youtube, but there’s no competition.

The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?

All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.

It’s usable, but instances now deal with frequent rate-limits and you’ll see 429 errors quite often.

I thought elon was supposed to be smart

You forget that many simply don’t care, like me. I stopped using anything google for a reason. Their services are usually lower quality than alternatives, might get shut down tomorrow, paying them doesn’t stop your data from being milked, and they continually look for ways to make the internet worse. You’re supporting the biggest ads company here…

I pay for 3+ streaming services, and all of them offer me a better deal than yt. It’s not about paying for me. It’s simply not worth it for my low use of the platform. I only ever look at my 20 subscriptions and my watch later playlist. Until that goes away I will block ads.

I’m just waiting for the next platform to pop up, it’s gonna happen sooner or later and hopefully isn’t cancer…

Youtube is getting on cable tv levels of bad. On a regular ~10min video you will first deal with a few preroll ads and at least one is unskippable, then the creator will have a 2+ minute sponsor segment (I don’t mind those since they are usually well presented). There will also be multiple midroll ad spots.

Depending on video length, it’s gonna soon be literally more ad than video. They are still stealing and selling your data though, and also making the web worse for everyone with DRM shit.

Fuck. Google.

I had already migrated to Invidious since last year because I degoogled everything. Seems like now its time to look for real youtube alternatives.

Officially no, but the wording on the FAQ says it’s the developer’s job to take it up with them to resolve it. So it’s clear they don’t have any safeguard and only after you’re affected you can talk to them lmfao.

Does the Unity Runtime Fee apply to pirated copies of games? We are happy to work with any developer who has been the victim of piracy so that they are not unfairly hurt by unwanted installs.

Same thing goes for “install-bombing”:

We are not going to charge a fee for fraudulent installs or “install bombing.” We will work directly with you on cases where fraud or botnets are suspected of malicious intent.

So not only are the fees outrageous, but now devs are responsible for making sure this whole system isn’t being abused. It’s not gonna be long until people figure out how the install count is updated, and will proceed to weaponize it lmfao.

From their FAQ, looks like Unity doesn’t have any real way of dealing with pirated or fake installs. Their FAQ says you have to work with them when that happens so they can correct your bill. It doesn’t say Unity will automatically filter those installs out.

RIP cheems

Yeah this stuff was always marketed to automate simple and repetitive things we do daily. it’s mostly the media I guess who started misleading everyone into thinking this was AI like skynet. It’s still useful, not just as a all knowing AI god

I don’t understand why anyone idolizes this bastard. There are too many bootlickers out there, which is why nothing ever changes and assholes like him can continue to exploit people.

Tesla is also known for its shit build quality. So why not buy an EV from practically anyone else?

Laughs in Invidious

Those who are still on the ‘apple bad’ train like to forget they are running an OS built by an ads company.

Every phone manufacturer has some bad shit, I choose to stick with apple cuz I already have a big library of paid stuff.
