  • Silliest comment of the week

    People do nothing but incessantly complain about thing- yet still use thing.

    Go ahead and show the alternative, the alternative that has the content we need.

    Before you respond that youtube is an entertainment service, I want to remind you that it isn’t, but that it’s only a part of it. You won’t handwave it away as if we were discussing netflix being enshittified.

    I’m not using youtube for listening to music videos and such things, never were. When I end up there it’s because of a search result showing a relevrelevant video there, like disassembly of this or that, and such.

    News flash folks; You’re never going to win this. YouTube will always be ahead of you on this.

    That’s objectively false. uBlock Origin devs and filterlist makers are doing a very good job.

    Don’t like it, walk away.

    That’s very similar to saying “don’t like your government? don’t like it, walk away, found your own”.
    Yeah, that’s not his it works.

    I bet you would be the first to call those who abandoned youtube as cavemen for not being able to access some video you shared





  • in my country that’s exactly what is happening, they are taking the simpler jobs for much cheaper, and lot of our “native” people has/had jobs like this.

    ironically, this country is among the loudest in anti-immigration in the EU, all the while they are immigrating people from neighboring countries exactly for cheap labor.






  • sorry, but I think what you are looking for is platforms like Lemmy. it is not centralized, it is distributed. not peer to peer, sure, but

    • since a lot of devices are not being online at the same time, mobile phones but even desktop PCs always go offline for some period of time, the direct communication wouldn’t really work with a lot of other users
    • you would need to store much more dataon each of your devices, unless you’re the kind who doesn’t care about mindlessly deleting past conversations





  • I have a very low value lenovo tablet that my provider was giving away essentially for free (for worthless loyalty points I think). its BL cannot be unlocked, it has a special bootloader that does not implement the standard unlock commands.

    Other than that, I have to admit I don’t often deal with cheap phones, because my experience was that not even LOS supports a lot them. Maybe that’s changed though.
