just look at Chinese prices

The prices of chinese EVs are artificially deflated! They heavily subsidize their EV manufacturing sector.

I mean no, I don’t need a third party launcher, but I really don’t want to use the stock one.

Not for iOS it wasn’t.

Insulting is right. When I just want to quickly look at a recipe, or how the one guy removes the crank pulley from his Miata I don’t want to have to watch 1 minute worth of ads just to see a still image or 10 seconds of the video. Fuck right off, YouTube!

A pre-roll ad and a banner was obnoxious enough for me to start using ubo on desktop, on mobile I kept using the official app because newpipe is not a very nice user experience.

When they started to play two long pre-roll ads, one mid-roll ad for every couple of minutes of content, and a post-roll ad I switched to NewPipe and Libretube. I felt like the content-to-ad ratio was close to 1 recently. Way worse than it ever was on TV.

Check which version you’re on. If it’s not 0.19.0 you need to update. F-Droid now has the newest version.

Try LibreTube on mobile.

Wait… WAIT! Berlusconi is dead?!?

Thank you so much!

Yeah, I know those things. But the App crashed constantly, only working for one video or two if I was lucky.

Updating solved the issue.

Does LibreTube still work for you?

Doesn’t that include people who log in once per month to check their messages, scroll down two posts in their feed and log out?

First of all a “military peer” just means a nation that has similar military capabilities/power as oneself. And right now China is the only military peer to NATO, that is just a fact.

Second China is also positioning itself as a military adversary to NATO and its allies in many ways. And that is not the interpretation of “congress”, that is geopolitical reality.

Once the batteries of those things die (and they will die in short order) they are completely useless. Just small black bricks with a hint of gold on the outside.

They are not mutually exclusive, tbf.

I only pirate because it is more convenient than any alternative.

The best example I experienced was when I tried to watch an apple tv original show with my cousin (who has family access to the service). He wanted to log in to his account on my laptop and needed to verify his dad’s credit card to do so. No problem, but it took a while. After that we still couldn’t watch, because the player didn’t load the video for some reason. Cue my cousin fiddling about trying to fix the issue.

In the meantime I had started to download the first two episodes and copied it on a thumb drive.

When people smoke at home with a window open the disgusting smell wafts out into the windows of unsuspecting non-smokers. It can’t be helped, smoking needs to be banned.

Still there is scarcity because these are physical objects, most of which are out of production. With NFTs you don’t buy a thing, you buy a link to a digital representation of… something. If the creator of the NFT decides to stop hosting that link your NFT is not only worthless it is also gone.

Has been, until end of last year. Now? Not so much.

The way politics are moving rn I can imagine the big funny happening soon, which could trigger a new ice age though.
