Job security right there.

If it was a few bucks a month, sure. $14 a month? LOL no. Google's one of the richest companies in the world, they don't need the money, much less that much money. It's just greed, pure and simple.

As others have said, Twitch adblocking still works just fine. There are multiple plugins which block their ads, and you can even paste in a few custom filters to uBlock Origin and bypass them.

In other words, it's not inevitable.

Think of it this way: YouTube has to pay people to work on anti-adblocking tech, whereas pissed off nerds with a permanent "fuck you I do what I want" energy will figure out how to defeat those measures for free.

TBH I didn't know everyone was eligible for the latest booster. My in-laws got it early but they're both at-risk.

I should go do that.

Specifically it's called Survivorship Bias.

1st Amendment makes it impossible to criminalize hate speech by itself. Violent hate speech, sure. Calls for racially motivated cleansing, sure. Just saying "\ is evil and worthless" is unambiguously protected. Unfortunately.

That would be easy to challenge under the same reasoning as what's in the article, not to mention various anti-trust laws and ones covering anti-competitive business practices.

Doesn't mean it's guaranteed to stop them, but it's definitely not going to be as easy as them flipping a few switches and saying "watch ads on our browser with no addons or GTFO".

Not even Microsoft in its monolith days was able to spend enough money to stop a legion of angry nerds with a severe case of "fuck you, you can't tell me what to do".

As your typical American I can only read English, what do those "news" ads say, roughly? Tinfoil hat nuttery? Increase your Pen-One-Five size?

Either way that's still pretty bad. And there are video popups? Jeez. I'm guessing you either don't have much choice in ISPs or the other options are even worse somehow. My sympathies. Also thanks for sharing.

Holy hell that sounds cursed. How obnoxious are they? Can you share a screenshot?

Next time I'm cursing Spectrum I'll remind myself that they aren't doing that at least.

Good news! Apparently there's a way to build Invidious for Podman, though it's not exactly straightforward. That said, there's an open issue to add official documentation for how to do it, so maybe that'll get done. Eventually.

If you're not afraid of Docker you can even spin up your own instance of Invidious. You won't get much in the way of recommendations, but you won't have to worry about the site going down.

Be the frontend you want to see in the world.

As a child, going from the 60s Batman series to that was almost whiplash inducing. I did not expect animated Batman to give me the feels. I did not expect animated Batman to honestly scare the crap out of me.

I have no idea who decided a 90s kid show should have writing that good but they made the right call. Xanatos is one of the best written villains ever.

Narrator: There was, in fact, fraud.

Bonus if the VOB is encoded out of order and uses the chapters specified in the IFO to play the episodes in the correct order. CW/WB shows did that a lot for some reason.

Ahh gotcha. So this is the start of the fork. Interesting.

Well I'm definitely gonna keep an eye on it. Think I'll make an account over on your side too just to keep up with my basic plan of diversification. That way whichever one winds up becoming the superior product, I'll already be established there.

EDIT: Oh snap, mbin already has an option to put the reply bar at the top. That opens up the option for expanding infinite scroll to comments as well, which has been one of my major gripes about kbin.

EDITx2: Oh and it has 2fa support. Well damn, that's significant. Huge even.

Huh, got me intrigued, gotta say. Any significant differences between mbin and kbin you can point out? I know for me in kbin the Mastodon interactivity doesn't work the best, and finding the context of replies in threads doesn't work when it goes to multi-page.

Best Buy did some mind-blowing sales late last year or early this year. You could pick up a bunch of 4K Blurays for $5 - $10. Lots of good stuff, too.

Damn, I had no idea. I should keep an eye out if they do another. I don't think we even have a BluRay player in the house other than in my computer, and it'd be nice to have the option.

Hey thanks. Just wanted to make a great game even better.
