But people here don’t really care that much about celebrities being here and maybe not even their username being unique. Could probably be anon1, anon2, etc and it wouldn’t matter that much, since real identity is probably not a draw for them. Focus on regular people wanting the userbase to want to use fediverse rather than celebrities which is an off-putting first impression and point of sale for lot of people here.

You need to pivot is what I’m saying to achieve what you want.

I’m not here for celebrities and they will always flock to centralized platforms anyways, since they are all about the views.

Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

I enjoyed memes back in the forum days because they weren’t frequent with it being more discussion base, so when they showed up it’d have a tendency to actually be funny. But, move towards generating meme content quickly diluted the experience of memes with forcing of memes.

Side loading is potentially dangerous though, so warnings are good. Especially for average person who will attempt side loading not knowing the permissions they are giving to the app. I don’t see a problem with the current set up, since even with it people install sketchy apks.

They are the one that controls finances in the household and what their kids own.

It pushed me more towards degoogling. Was already using newpipe on Android and ignoring the YouTube app, and now I’m on freetube on desktop. No need for Google account anymore to look at the feed I want.

Yeah, things that weren’t called AI years back are just getting called AI now.

I’m still on Windows 10. Are the complaints people have over windows 11 overblown or valid?

I think it was mainly about games releasing with 30 or 60 fps hard caps back in the day than graphics being held back.

Yet, ease of access is what appeals to the average consumer which leads to preferring steam for Linux for the same reason people get hardware restricted consoles. If a company wants to appeal and expand their market making themselves more accessible is how they do it. Otherwise alternative is to be an overlooked option.

Not really. These aren’t monetized sites, but just individuals inviting guests to use their instance over self hosting their own, and there’s other instances people can move to.

Each instance is better seen as individual forums than a reddit type centralized site. Some forums allows cross account logins, and some you have to create another account. And defederation doesn’t cause that instance to cease to exist like banning a community or subreddit does.

For sites that fully embrace the new web environment integrity procedure would that break chromium browsers like Brave too?

Reminds me of Black Mirror White Christmas episode. I could use that feature.

And yet some want to hear meta out before deciding whether to federate or defederate from them.

So there are YouTube front ends for browser experience, but has anyone tried freetube from this guide?

I’ve really liked the newpipe x Sponsorblock experience on my Android phone with having a subscription list, saves, playlists all locally with no YouTube account and ability to export and import the data of Playlists etc.

Freetube sounds like newpipe for desktop and has sponsorblock as an option too. Anyone use it or used it and have an thoughts on it?

If Miami could get him they’d be pretty scary finally having a second player who can consistently shoulder the offensive load from Jimmy.
