Exactly, that's what I do. I think that's really the best option. Support the creators and support the platform while avoiding ads. Video hosting is absurdly expensive

it seems to me like what is probably more helpful is getting paid. With my YT premium sub all of the creators get paid some amount for my watch time (better than ad payment) and I don't see ads. It simply seems like the best solution

what other ways would help them?

and I do!

can't donate to all of the different creators I watch

no, this isn't fully correct. The first time you boot your phone, you have to unlock with your PIN. This decrypts your user "partition" that holds all your data. Imagine all the crap you produce including apps goes in that partition. The base operating system, what you get from the factory, is in a separate partition that is NOT encrypted by you. So what this repair mode does is basically take advantage of the already built-in DSU functionally for booting generic kernel images (GKI) and instead use it to boot a copy of your system. Your personal data remains fully encrypted.

you can install VSCode on the raspberry pi even, it's just linux

.....and you can't change the units on it. Great. Even if your entire phone is set to Celsius, you get Fahrenheit. It's useless

when I went to Japan, I did physical SIM while my gf at the time did eSIM. I had much better latency and it was noticeable. With lots of the eSIMs they actually give all the traffic an extra jump back to wherever their HQ is, so you'll see 500-800ms latency vs 30-100.

alternatively, what I've done is move my US carrier to an eSIM and then get a super cheap physical SIM in whatever country I'm going to. You can also do dual eSIM these days, so really leaving your primary carrier as an eSIM is the way to go for maximum flexibility

hmm I can't actually find this project, can you link me?

oh that's super neat, hadn't heard of that!

what? just a heads up. you can strip the tracker out like this: https://youtu.be/Vywf48Dhyns

fyi, the ?si= part of that link is a tracker. Google will know who you referred to that video

so annoying that it is actually available on iOS but here we have to do this kind of janky workaround

Yeah no worries, all I'm saying is it's a silly phishing attempt since it is only emailing admins!

opinions on Ubiquiti routers?

I've gotten an email like this before for lemdro.id. I think it's a generic phishing email since the community links look like email addresses (and actually often are)

It's got great performance on Linux. Better to have more rendering engines than less. Chromium, Gecko (FireFox), and WebKit. The more the merrier!

ugh, stop adding bloat to my browser. I don't want your shitty shopping assistant Mozilla as much as I don't want it in Edge or Chrome. Once extension support in Epiphany is good enough for KeePassXC I'm switching away from Firefox entirely...
