Yeah, I don't know what's happening, but Invidious was always more reliable, at least for me. Which is very ironic, since Piped was created to fix many issues with Invidious.

I think part of this issue is the use of shiny new Javascript frameworks™️ and while I'm not on the "javascript framework bad" hype train, it's not normal for parts of the UI to simply not load after 3 refreshes of the webpage, while the rest loads fine.

For all the people saying that privacy-oriented Youtube channels are a contradiction.

The point of these channels is to make more people privacy conscious. And where do you find people that aren't very privacy conscious? That's right, YouTube. I actually think what these creators are doing is a great sacrifice in terms of their own, personal privacy, but making people aware.

Meh, I just use piped/invidious. I don't know these channels, but I imagine they're on LBRY or peertube, too

Wow, that's really shitty. Maybe tutanota over Tor?

I agree. I was also confused back then. Because of this, I tried creating an account yesterday and found out, that verification is in fact needed. But I simply used one of the disposable email services and it was done. No need for a phone number.

Is this an American politics thing I'm too European to understand?

Oops, I guess all my math problems infringe a trademark. There are simply way too many things named X. Also, the X.org foundation don't have as much money as Twitter, which makes any fight a lost cause.

Many people have asked me this (I'm the certified neighborhood tech guy :P), I always recommend Linux Mint, with the Cinnamon desktop environment, or KDE. Ubuntu used to be the best one and it's still very good, but pretty heavy on hardware and they keep adding frustrating features nobody asked for.

Please please please, at the start, stay away from Arch and it's derivatives. I daily Gentoo, but you need a decent knowledge of Linux to use both. If you need help, post to the Linux community or DM me :)

With the verification thing on Proton, there is a button which allows you to bypass it.

Edit: at least there was when I created mine

Ever since I started talking, I wanted to be a heart surgeon. I read tons of books and watched hours of youtube videos about heart surgery, some of which were so graphic, that they made my mother pass out.

Later I got interested in networking, Linux, and systems programming, and this is my current job. The tons of graphic videos with blood, etc. increased my tolerance to nasty injuries pretty drastically. I was a bystander to a few very serious car crashes and I had no problem helping the survivors with incredibly awful injuries until the paramedics came, so I guess at least something positive came from it.

How about you make an argument, instead of spewing rude teenager-like bullshit?

Just chiming in, that the biggest selling point of Mullvad (and IVPN also, I think) is the possibility to pay with cash-by-mail or with crypto. Also, Proton has an onion site, too (at least I used it for ProtonMail, not sure if it's for Drive too).

Do people deliberately not use archive.org? That's the one I always use but with everyone using these alternatives, I wonder if I should use them too.

While I am not far right and don't support Russia in this conflict, it's still very wrong to censor anything political.

On the internet, even if it's a very nice open source platform, always operate under the assumption that nothing you say or do is anonymous. This is Internet usage 101, however, people seem to always ignore this. Do with this as you will :)

I see you got the prime Greece experience. Well done my friend :)

In any eastern European country, I simply look the driver dead in the eye and pass, if they're far enough to actually stop. However, whenever I visit Greece, especially Athens, not even the green light can save you. There is a running joke among Greeks and it goes along the lines of "stronger car wins". Basically, if you have a fast car, you have priority on any intersections and pedestrian crossings, and the police do jack shit about it.

Man, I love Greece, beautiful country, amazing people, but with disfunctioning police and government in general.

Because the giant media streaming corporations definitely don't. Even though you pay them. Right?

Good to know. My brain stopped working when I typed that... So I guess it would be very beneficial to spin up a spare server for my Russian friends to access western media after this goes live.
