I know they are doing their best to keep up with yt shenanigans. but they sometimes make decisions that hurt the user experience. like removing the reload option from the video page. its incomprehensible why the removed a feature that probably didn’t interfere with the rest of the software performance

ublock origin only blocks ads.

But if you want a bit of privacy it can’t stop youtube from collecting your data and keeping you in a feedloop bubble.

With these types of clients yt can’t track you. and everytime i reload the app it’s like I am new user to them they don’t have all my browsing history. plus you can subscribe to channel without logging into yoututbe

didn’t know they made a desktop version. will try out thanks!

They removed Ctrl*r from video pages since around April

Yes. by clicking ‘r’ you were able to reload the video page. but it was remove around April, and it only works on the search page.

They cited something unconvincing I don’t remember why exactly but they are blocking all discussions about it since.

My dad listens to AI generated stories. I still don’t know if he realizes they are Fictional AI stories, or if this is his way of killing time by this instead of listening to audio books. I guess audiobooks take commitment

It has already changed a lot of things in my life to the worst. that I am scared what it would look like once It changes ‘Everything’

Will try that, thanks!

I wouldn’t have thought of that but it is too cumbersome of a workaround, and running and android vm makes my laptop run hot

I am stating facts. which I assume you guys don’t care about.

Russia is exploiting the poorest of the poor with information warfare and false promises.

for a bit of nuance: the majority of latin america mercernaries work for the Ukranian Foreign Legion. and their salaries is a less than half of what Russia pays it mercernaries. so both are exploiting the poorest of the poor. and Ukraine is doind it for cheaper.

An important chunk of the LATAM mercenaries working for ukraine are actual criminals and ex gang members who have been approached by semi-official gov agencies and foreign spy corps to fight for Ukraine in exchange for reduced sentences and clearance of their criminal records. and in some cases like in Columbia and Mexico, their have been arrangements with local social security services to facilitate the process of receiving insurance money if they die fighting for Ukraine.

Why do you people insist on mischaracterizing what other people say?

In economics, Free money refers to money borrowed at low interest rates. and I made it even more clear when I talked about the need for more competition and the depreciation of the dollar. There is already too much money in circulation and borrowing at low interest rates gives room to corporations and the wealthy to ramp up prices, buy up more property and and make the lower class compete for limited products, instead of corporation competing to earn their customers dollars.

If the question of free money isn’t resolved than inflation will always outpace wages to a point where it might feel like going back to the feudal times.

Ten years too late.

This could have had a far greater impact when whatsapp exodus or controversy happend in 2021. I bet they have reached a stall in the number of new accounts and donations are drying out.

lemmy is lighter on resources if you care about your internet usage footprint. and far more stable overall.

inflation is caused by free money. This as much as it is welcome for the people impacted by crazy costs of life, will only keep ramping up inflation.

They need to stop giving free money and make everyone compete. if you have any savings turn them to gold, the dollar will only continue to crumble

So the lower class is basically dumb and can’t recognize its interests from its enemie’s interests

may be the words you were looking for are “controlled opposition”, the western left is just a sham facade put up buy the capitalist and financed by the capitalist so that the real left becomes invisible. they are infiltrated by the careerists paid for the elite class.

I don’t think it’s because of a lack of understanding of how technology works but they are in a never ending quest to surveil and control their population.

Kudos to the Zip admins then. We need to resist!

Reading on e-paper is never the same experience as paper books, that’s a given. But imagine if gadgets like Xteink x4 cost less than 30$. imagine how many people in the developing can have access to them and how many trees can be saved.

Chinese entry level smartphone with 6.7 inch lcd screens can be baught for as low as 55$. the same phone with same specs but with just a e-ink screen will only start selling from upwards of 170$. all because of the price of the e-ink screen
