Yeah, I don't care enough to simp for a company that has enough money to start off with a losing strategy to begin with of burn money to kill competition then is surprised that they can't easily revert back the strategy that "won" them the market dominance in the market dominance in the first place.

And YouTube is one of many services that exist to try and convince people to make a Google account anyways. Without YouTube that's one less reason to make an account with other email providers around and less of a reason for Apple users which is growing in dominance.

Pirates aren't most people. Piracy finds a way among pirates.

Even without ads it's shit without sponsorblock for me. Not even for the sponsor spots, but the absolutely annoying copy paste of please like, subscribe, hit the notification icon, blah blah blah blah blah.

I've preferred firefox on Android, since it doesn't refresh on me when I minimize it as often as other browsers.

I ended up reading the webtoon because of this anime. Haven't kept up though with the hiatuses, and finding I prefer reading a volume worth of content than a slow drip feed.

Rachel is also the best.

I've had to block off entire instances too which I use the Connect app for.

I never found "all" browsable for any platform whether it be lemmy, YouTube, or reddit. It's why subscribing has been so important to me, and filtering. Like on YouTube which I access through freetube I've disabled "trending" and "popular" since even the thumbnails were obnoxious for majority of the videos, and I blocked out channels to keep them from dominating search results. And on reddit what even made /r/all viewable was a reddit enhancement suite filter lists that was in the hundreds for blocking of communities, and even then was a wack a mole that required keyword filtering.

All of any platform will devolve into a shit show. As for niche subs. Yeah, not much that can be done about that if the user base is small.

I uninstalled chrome. Stopped logging into YouTube. And moved to freetube on desktop. Newpipe on Android.

I wouldn't bother with the app. Log in through the website with lite apps.

Secret sequel to Bully.

I've never watched game awards. I don't even know if there is even a main one. Watches speeches is boring which is why I don't watch award shows in general.

Only goty I care about is the goty edition where the game releases with all the DLCs bundled at a discount.

There's user name generators. Even fantasy name generators too so it's not a weird jumble of letters and numbers like a password.

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

I have the steam deck. I'm asking about a dock.

I've wondered if it would be worth getting a dock to hook it up to my second monitor in desktop mode for just web browsing and watching videos.

But it's $1600 Apple. Not the cheapest Mac book air.

It's so weird that Google's phone has been the most accessible for unlocking your phone. Oneplus used to be good too, but then they became bad in that area too and now custom rom scene seems dead for newer Oneplus phones.

Been great for using my Playstation and Nintendo controllers.

Preorder bonuses and microtransaction purchases that provide xp boosts and items that make the game easier.

Having rich family versus none provides a safety net that lessens the consequences of risk taking, and sets a baseline of how bad your life can get.

It's like playing a game with check points versus one that has you start at the beginning if you die. You still have to do all the hard work to reach your goal yourself, but those retro style non check point games are incredibly hard compared to games with check points, saves, or cheating with save states.
