You're on Android use NewPipe and it's forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.

Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.

GrayJay it's interesting. It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it's worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves it.

All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.

I believe Tails already supports I2P, you just have to enable it in the terminal and reboot.

I don't know who this developer is, maybe they are well-known and well regarded.

I just know that for an OS, better to be safe than sorry and go with and established and well respected project such as Tails IMO.

Not trying discourage users from trying it, just that they should be mindful of the risks and adjust their behavior accordingly.

I don't use Matrix or Discords, but I'll expand slightly on my comment:

BAN THE CREDIBLES. SHAME THE LESSCREDIBLES.

I think you mean classical NCD.

Lemmites keep bringing lesscredible and credible thoughts and actions to this community, severely damaging its noncredibility. Crying shame it is.

My clearly noncredible comment, even got them to downvote a Lazerpig video...dafuq?

Unless there's a way to secure public funding for them, this seems like a reasonable middle road.

Like Patreon, which while having its own unique set of problems, enables a paid content distribution ecosystem for independent creators unlike anything else available.

So, absent inserting invasive advertising, and lacking public funds, I can't see how else they're supposed to maintain infrastructure and development costs.

That video contradicts it's entire thesis and disproves his own title.

He claims it sucks, and that he can prove it with math, yet he documents it's unparalleled success at killing friendly forces.

So tell me, how can it both be the best in the world, and suck at the same time.

You're missing the standard issue binoculars, which is pretty mission critical kit. Because without the binoculars, they can't see the friendly forces they're aiming their strafing run at.

Not everyone has a safety deposit box, or the ability to access a proper and secure off-site storage.

And if you're just keeping those in your house, then fire, flood, and other incidents can destroy all copies at once.

Your list of semi non-perishable foods does need some caveats about storage, because most of those things can go bad, depending on how they were stored.

Frozen meat can spoil, as not all bacterial growth stops, some just slows down a whole lot. So if Grandma threw in a store plastic wrapped tray of chicken quarters, after being in the fridge for 3 days, and now it's 8 years later, those might not be safe for human consumption.

Stuff that was vacuum sealed, much more likely to last the long haul in the freezer, if done properly.

Long-term stored grain, when not in vacuum sealed or other airtight containers, can develop molds or other bacterial contaminations.

Improperly stored vinegar, if you try to use it...it will ruin your salad dressing, and taste like shit. But it's pretty easy to see if vinegar has gone ick.

Can't say I've ever seen moldy or spoiled vinegar, but I've seen the type of kitchens that would be capable of making it happen in a long enough time frame.

I've also never seen bad dry storage pasta or beans, but I imagine they carry the same long-term storage concerns as grains, even if they're probably a bit more durable.

Aging for whiskey and scotch is done in specialized wood barrels with specific environmental conditions, not in the bottle.

If the hard booze bottles been opened for a long time, it's always possible some evaporation, or other slight changes have occurred that may impact taste, but still perfectly safe. Assuming it's 80 proof and up.

Throw out open wines if you're not comfortable determining if they're still consumable and not spoiled.

TLDR: Toss opened bottles of wine, but any hard liquor should be safe, even if it taste is degraded.

Nah, I'm with you, except I use BitWarden.

There are somethings either worth paying someone else to host, or where you trust a 3rd party more than you're own setup. I realize other users may feel different, but ultimately it's a judgement call

BW has been a pretty great opensource company, and it's worth my $10/yr for premium.

"no sex crimes should be investigated until the Catholic Church and Hollywood have been purged of pedophiles"

Well, that's certainly an opinion.

Strawman, strawman, strawman.

Even when I reiterate that we're not talking about passive consumption of media, but active participation in something else entirely, you can't help but ignore that, and continue lobbing out fallacy after fallacy.

Maybe you should reread my original comments, and see why your comments have been so pointless, bordering on disingenuous.

You're really going to great lengths to ignore what I've been saying, and instead responding to whatever strawman you find most convenient.

Now you've moved onto, "why should police investigate pedophiles, when they are the real pedophiles. In fact, the pedophile fantasy users of the site should be investigating the police".

I mean, do you even hear yourself?

80% of the world shares their pedophile fantasies with shoddy AI LLM porn sites...?

No, I am saying that sharing fantasies about underage children with a shady and poorly designed AI porn site, shows a serious lack of judgement and impulse control.

For that reason, yeah, they probably deserve having a quick review of their life to make sure that's the only poor choice they've made in regards to that particular fantasy.

And they weren't just reading, they were prompting the LLM model to generate these specific fantasies. They didn't just come across a fucked up website and read a few forum posts.

This is a weird one, because while fantasy is fantasy, and doesn't necessarily indicate an intention to act on anything, these people were dumb enough to share these specific fantasies with some random AI porn site. That's got to be an indicator of poor impulse control, right?

That alone should probably warrant immediate FBI background checks, or whatever relevant agencies have jurisdiction for these types of criminal investigations in each user's locality.

Of course, I am saying it's without actually having read any of the chats. So it's possible my opinion would change from "this should be investigated", to summary executions and burn the bodies for good measure... but no way I'm reading those fucking chats.

Oh, I get the confusion. You didn't actually read the shitty article.

Admittedly, it's not really worth reading. But, if you're going to die on this hill, you might want to give it a glance.

This wasn't some one-off example of distracted driving, or poor decision making from an unformed mind. It's a pattern of behavior, that has been conditioned, and reconditioned into him.

It is extremely unlikely, that this little hiccup, changes that for him. I'd say the odds of that happening are about as good as you winning the lottery.

Edit: After reading Foggy's comment providing even more information, I take back everything I said and am now actually upset that he lived. The world would have been made slightly better had he not survived.

Okay ... All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn't give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn't America..

Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?

No, it's not wishing harm, it's wishing to prevent future harm to innocent bystanders.

He wasn't doing donuts in the parking lot, or some other relatively isolated teenage idiocy.

He was engaging in behavior that could have easily killed an entire family who just happened to be on the road with him. Considering he comes from wealth, and walked away unscathed, I doubt any lesson was learned, because that's what history shows us.

Because of that, the odds are high that this won't be the last time he takes the lives of innocent bystanders into his hands for hearts and likes.

I'm sure when we read the article in 6 months how he mowed down a mother and three kids while live streaming, you will still feel the same way.
