  • Jeez, guys... You're a paleontologist or what? That happened centuries ago.

    • Tourism is bad.

  • It is. Among other things, in some popular places tourism caused rents to go through the roof. Now local people can barely afford to rent a flat.

  • I'm specifically talking about the video as a medium to share information, and youtube is the worst, as it's 99% filled with crappy influencer stuff whose only aim is to monetize people's time.

  • TBF, just leaving YouTube would be better. There's plenty of information out there which don't need some glorified video hosting platform (books, blogs, wikis and so oh). I really struggle trying to understand people's addiction to YT...

    • If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man?

  • You actually should.

    • Logitech is dropping support for its oldest Harmony remotes

  • What about open sourcing stuff, instead of making it just "unsupported"?

    • If Android Goes Closed Source, what happens to Alternative Android-Based OSes, such as Graphene OS?

    Jump

  • Well, you get an iOS. So, Google shooting themselves in the foot.

  • I'm no Betterbird. For mail it's just fine. OTOH, I find the calendar a bit annoying, as doesn't allow to set email reminders when creating new event in a caldav calendary.

    • Blasting loud music is a baby blanket for insecure men

    Jump

  • I think OP refers at "blasting it so everybody around is forced to listen to it". I do the same with prog/death metal, to isolate from... people in general.

  • You can't be serious. They are the sonic equivalent of stabbing your own eyes with a rusty screwdriver. And the lyrics are... cringe.

  • Even worse if it's "bad" music (reggaeton, trap).

  • People here loves to downvote for every little shit they disagree with... And they say Reddit is toxic... Anyway, I don't care. I just disable "show score" in settings and let the kids play.

    Back to the topic, I don't use youtube at all, I don't like watching videos. I think Kagi is a great idea, but honestly 10 €/month is a lot of money for me at the moment, so I'm just self-hosting SearXNG and call it a day.
