I already use Tubular, and I have been using NewPipe (or the fork Tubular) since the very first alpha.
Grayjay doesn’t work well for me since I’m subscribed to over 1000 creators and they force rate limiting over 200, which makes it completely unusable for my usecase.
The recommendation algorithm (also using a third party app) recommends me tons of niche content. It’s how I found most of the creators that I follow.
I follow over 1000 creators on YouTube, many of them niche creators who don’t often upload content. There are a very small percentage who are on another platform.
The main app that I use (Tubular) also supports PeerTube, but PeerTube has a big issue when it comes to both content discovery and delivery. YouTube hosts not only the “full” quality video, but they also host many different versions of the same video at varying resolutions/bitrates. This is unfeasable for basically anyone but a big tech company. YouTube also has a very effective (albeit very flawed) recommendation algorithm that smaller platforms struggle to compete against.
I already use those things. My main way of watching YT is with Tubular.
The problem is that there is one, centralized hosting provider with an all-powerful, non-customizable (by the user) recommendation algorithm. That algorithm, like it or not, dictates the type of content that is made on the platform. If there is content that Google doesn’t like, they can (and have) very easilly shadowban the content, meaning only people who specifically search for it will see it, if not remove it altogether.
My one holdover is YouTube. There’s just no good replacement for it.
You don’t need double the wires if you change the recepticle so that you can plug it in both ways, and the recepticle would just have those wires connected on the board.
I think “fucking democracy” is their end goal here.
As a Linux user, I had to trade in my Nvidia laptop for one with an AMD GPU due to how unstable the Nvidia drivers were and how many problems they were giving me. With the AMD laptop, I have had zero issues.
Can you define what a “free society” is?
Holy shit, you said the word woman
Cartoon noises start playing
OOP is a bit classist in general
Strumming with the elbow is how I do it.
Arbitration contracts
especially in click-through licensesare always bullshit and should be universally thrown out.
There should be no reason why a corporation ahould be able to avoid the justice system for any reason.
You can’t unlock the bootloader on carrier-locked Pixel phones; they need to be SIM unlocked in order for the “OEM Unlocking” option to be available.
Oh, the comedian musician dude. He’s been all over the news lately. Apparently he’s affecting the stock market pretty heavilly.
The judge was probably an Apple fanboy and/or in their pocket.
The amount of times I’ve heard arguments on Apple forums/news articles being pro-Apple-walled-garden is too high.
Who’s Al and why is everyone talking about him so much?
Oh, absolutely, which is the entire point sometimes.
For example, nobody likes terrorists or pedophiles, so make laws against them, because everyone can agree with punishing them. Only problem is, our system works on precidence and doesn’t limit those laws to exclusively terrorists and pedophiles, but they instead apply to everyone. An example of a bill like this that Congress has tried to pass in the past is to ban encryption, since it helps criminals commumicate with each other, but non-criminal civilians also use encryption for communication, amomgst other things.
Sure, but this isn’t about the person; it’s about legal precidence.
Source? I don’t believe it.
Why else would the US be working so hard to ban it and make it very difficult to obtain?
