Ah yes, I love when people do that. Especially since it perfectly circumvents word-based personal filters.

And Fredrik Knudsen.

Youtube/Google is known to bully and lash out against Firefox users first, they use that as a hybrid strategy to make people use Google Chrome more (other market, same corposcum). Not surprised.

Naah. For me both Newpipe on mobile and Freetube on desktop still work fine, aside from rare IP blocks (which can be easily circumvented with a VPN). Going to set up a JellyFin with auto-download for my favourite creators in the future. It’ll work out somehow, like always. Should they go full ham and lock all creators behind some subscription wall or whatever people will just code and set up relays and torrents automatically being fed with new videos to free them, or setting up hundreds of Peertube instances that get auto-filled or sth.

These big companies can’t win in this regard, especially not now when the tide is already shifting and even the mainstream increasingly starts hating them. The moment large creators see a viable alternative that isn’t as awful (some already post their uncut videos to other platforms only due to all the word censoring etc) they’re screwed, so locking it down and enshittificating it even further is increasingly dangerous for them by now.

The artist forgot the constant BEEEEEEEEEEP in your ears. Or multiple beeps.

I think you need a little bit more exercise before competing in mental gymnastics.

Yeah… I had a USB stick that was fat32 formatted but didn’t have a drive letter assigned. So… it just doesn’t shw up. Now biggie, right? Quickly add one in the disk manager… except I couldn’t because the “Snap-in feature wasn’t installed, please use Windows Update and try again” (It was the latest Windows 11). For assigning a drive letter. Of course it would do that if I freshly format the stick…

That OS is a total mess.

Branch Education. Rare videos, but so good!

This meme couldn’t have been made by a German. Nobody in their right mind would say something so outlandish as Germany having a great education system. I literally got taught with a smashed blackboard, next to a cabinet that collapsed during class and with “books” that began identifying as a stack of papers (still had to wrap them though for protection! …somehow!).

On the upside, my school didn’t have mold… that we knew off. And we constantly had classes canceled since there weren’t enough teachers once a single one was missing.
