Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.

You fools! If you die in Australia, you die in real life!

The sad part is that there’s a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.

I have a very, very limited understanding of the subject, so take this with a lethal dose of salt, but I’m under the impression that the US healthcare system is an absolute minefield, and not everyone has equal access to it, even via insurance, in the ways you might otherwise typically expect.

I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.

There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.

Two days ago I noticed when watching through the app on my phone that I could no longer just skip ads, and the trick of reporting them to skip didn’t work anymore either. I effectively had to just sit and wait.

That same day I got NewPipe, imported my subscriptions, and honestly even if this is just a phased trial or something, I won’t be going back to the standard YT app.

Creators make pennies from ad revenue. If I want to support them, I’ll make a donation or subscribe to their Patreon or something.

I won’t just sit and suffer a slew of ads while my data is harvested under the false pretense that it’s all to support the creators.

I’m like, 99% sure this is a repost of my own OC that I posted to Reddit years ago.

1 - I never thought that would happen. 2 - I was (and probably still am) kind of a dick 😅

This would would probably work out very well.

Preach. If I could be any age forever it would probably be one of the ones from my days as a scene kid.
