And yet the boomers just think we’re lazy

Point is, this law was not created in service of the public. It’s just another surveillance measure. Much like Chat Control, which they’ve pushed over and over again, despite getting pushback from literally everyone around the world every time. You could have everyone in the EU sign that petition and it wouldn’t matter because it’s not for you.

He and Linda began dating in the 1980s…He was a chef by then. He’d arrived in the United States from Thailand, speaking no English and washing dishes to pay for an electrical engineering degree.

This is the most shocking part of this story to me…

Reminder that they already responded

The Government has no plans to repeal the Online Safety Act, and is working closely with Ofcom to implement the Act as quickly and effectively as possible

Nuh uh uh!

I wasn’t suggesting switching to Apple. I was suggesting we sue Apple, who offers far less support.

Huh?

Several million people who buy them every year certainly do.

Uhhh what about Apple?

Why did they fork the app?

I read this as “gift” the first time haha

Oh yeah, well ublock blocks the blocking of their blocks!

The vast majority of people uploading to YT aren’t (or weren’t) looking to make money. They didn’t even used to pay you anything. People make videos because they’re creators and they like sharing things with the world.

Aside from that YT only has 1 more revenue method than any other platform. There are a dozen other ways to monetize their content.

This is, however, a sulf-fulling prophecy. As long as people maintain that mentality the cycle can never be broken.

They’re scraping the entirety of the web, why would the fedi be an exception?

I don’t notice any lagginess at all…

Boost is a native UI, both Voyager and Blorp (While visually appealing) are just web wrappers

What’s the difference?

I don’t even know where to start with this. It’s only available from the Play Store, meaning you have to have a device with a Google account logged in system-wide.

Further, if you want to give money to the devs, the other options also make that available without a 30% tax applied to support one of the largest monopolistic corporations on Earth.

And they’re also just better…

I wouldn’t bother. There are better and actually free apps like Voyager and Blorp.

Not at all.
