For IOS peeps: I’m using Orion browser, which supports some firefox entensions like UblockOrigin that blocks ads. Brave also works.

Downside is they’re missing a good number of features, and changing playback speed messes up the audio

There used to be a trick where you can skip ads in youtube app by pretending to report it. i’ve used that to skip the 2x30s unskippable ads over the years, but that was patched recently.

So instead of occasionally watching ads while scrolling through comments, I’ve now opt to watch youtube in browser with UblockOrigin. And good luck to google for playing catch-22 with adblockers.

Shame that I used to have youtube in my adblock whitelist

I'm one of those guys, IOS phone with windows PC. There really isn't much out there that is as convenient as IOS, but theres no way I would use a Mac, as compatibility issues and more expensive hardware will ultimately hurt functionality.

In this case its quite simple: the production process is cheap and easy enough anyone with a garage can replicate it in a week, where as flying to Korea takes weeks for visa and plane ticket and appointments scheduling

Because for the first time in 14 years money is no longer free.

Right now the interest rate sits at 5% and it will remain there for the foreseeable future. Investors no longer have the patients to wait for growth because bonds are actually investable now, so all your “get user first find business later” companies began to panic and tries to squeeze everything out of its users.

Hilariously, the only social media company that will come out of this relatively unharmed is probably Facebook, because their unethical practices actually makes money

thats what I thought too - until I actually signed up for Nebula. It took me a week to exhaust every creator I wanted to watch.

No regrets because I do enjoy the content, but their catalogue is absolutely tiny compare to youtube.

Rumor has it that wearing knee-highs and short skirts improve coding efficiency by 50%

Theres on going drama with subs going nsfw. For what I know NCD was forced to go into sfw mode, along with serveral other subs.

Good luck explaining to your advertisers why their ads are shown along side fighter jet hentai, mobnik cubes, and nuclear and dam schizoposting.

I will always be horrified when your local mom n pop shop expects you to say your credit card and security pins out over the phone.

These days larger companies have terminals that accepts keyboard input, still not ideal but much better than saying it out.

I don’t think you’re been harsh lol, the right to secrete ballot is literally in the universal declaration of human rights.

Open ballot is a well known method for intimidating and blackmailing participants, it’s absolutely crazy that Fedivese operates this way. But even worse, seeing so many people here supports it.

I’ll just finish off with a few more points

  1. If your password is unencrypted or poorly encrypted, having a random string vs custom password makes no difference. The whole point of unique and strong password is so that a poorly encrypted service does not compromise your properly encrypted service. The scenario where my password is unencrypted is irrelevant, because only the salted hashed password matters. And because of the hash, leaking unencrypted passwords does not make the hashed ones easier to guess.

  2. The whole issue with a manager isn’t that its bad, its that it puts everything under the one basket, even if its a hella strong basket. If you want to change my mind, you need to show the pros outweigh the cons. Straight up assuming that not using a manager somehow means anytime I have my password compromised equals everything else is compromised is not convincing, its circular reasoning.

  3. Ignoring the fact that I’m explaining how hash works and not giving advice, if we want to be technical then yes only a slight change does make targeted attack easier. At that point password will only provide so much security, if you want to truely be safe, grade separate your username and email.

Thanks for the chat too, have a nice day
