Supermarkets use extensive marketing to trick you in buying all kinds of stuff. Just like Google (ahem, YouTube) does.

But you want their stuff, so you have to deal with their stuff.

We can discuss further on the subject of tracking that happens when you are a regular and have a membership, or the tracking of digital transactions. Even if you and I don’t necessarily partake in that by buying everything with cash to stay as anonymous as possible.

I could ask you to clarify how you feel “respected” in that environment, but I have honestly little interest in the answer.

My local supermarket isn’t producing most of the products it has on its shelves, so fuck them too I guess.

Popping!

The one that tracks your every move and thought.

Google is and always was an ad/marketing company.

Serenity now, insanity later.

There’s something fishy about this!

Better have some good CUPS.

What is that smiley font they use?

Unfortunately, I’m neither in the US nor the UK.

Roku isn’t available in my “area”, so it (still) says. It’s a bummer because I wouldn’t have any issues with paying to binge something at high quality.

Edit: I have used justwatch.com in the past, but it isn’t always correct or up-to-date either.

TOML. Easy on the eyes and easy to grep and filter out comments.

I really like the way Fail2Ban handles it with a .local config. The default doesn’t need to be backed up, and the .local is most minimal and concise. I’m unaware of any other programs doing it that way. I have scripts that either execute sed or tee -a to config files, after making a backup copy of the original.

I’m not in the US, and even though most (but not all) services adjust for local pricing, finding and keeping track of where something is (often isn’t, or not anymore) available to stream is more of a hassle (PITA really) than going to my favorite magnet site.

Just like streaming music where 95% of the content I want is available on all providers, I’d pay for an all-in tv-streaming service. I do buy digital/physical copies of music through Bandcamp. It’s all about convenience.

Vanilla instance for vanilla people.

Edit: LMAO I’m on .world too folks (⁀ᗢ⁀)

I absolutely agree with your statement.

I use piped.video for the dozen or so subscriptions I have. I don’t have an account, I once exported my subscriptions and when I erase browser history I upload that subscriptions file. All I want to see on YT is right there.

My motto is if an app has ads, the dev must be not that good. Otherwise you’d be able to pay for features because they’d develop features worth paying for.

Glad some people here are pointing that out.

Also, having people pay to remove ads on a ad-free platform is just disgusting misuse of open source generosity.

Instead, try to add something instead of infiltrating it with ads just to make money off.
