And there are extensions like LibRedirect so that clicking on a YouTube link in Firefox will open the video in Freetube.

I do like the idea of a P2P system. I used to be on ZeroNet but there were just too few people and too little content to stick with it. I hope something like this takes off.

Ah, practising the deeply held moral principle of “I’m alright, Jack”.

So AI is just three Netflix executives in a trench coat?

From “No racism” to “No “no racism””: America’s great again!!!

I’m in Mexico, and on those occasions I listen to Spotify with ads, for the first time I’m hearing ads in English from universities in Canada wanting to attract students from Mexico to do masters and PhDs there.

Me, too.

KDE Connect

• https://kdeconnect.kde.org/

I’ve used it a lot just to control audio or video playing on my computer from my phone. (Sometimes when I’m sat at my computer with multiple windows and workspaces open, I even find it easier just to hit my phone’s lockscreen to pause the music.)

I’m starting to use some of its other features, too. E.g. copying & pasting and sharing files between phone and computer.

There’s more too I need to explore.

(Unfortunately, sometimes I get a ‘device unreachable’ error when both devices clearly have a working connection to the same router.)

Upvoted for FreeTube.

What do you use to send YouTube links to FreeTube? Personally I’m using LibRedirect https://libredirect.github.io/

Especially as the people who believe in “pizza place basements” are now running the show.

Me neither.

• Browser: Zen (mod of Firefox)
• Extension: LibRedirect (pre-installed in Zen IIRC)
• App: FreeTube

I click on a YouTube link and it opens in FreeTube, no ads.

Every now and then, videos won’t play because of some change by Google, usually it’s just a day or so until FreeTube releases an update that works again.

My school (UK, 1980s) offered Mandarin as an extracurricular course. I signed up, showed up… and was the only student. One-on-one classes the rest of the year :)

(Just don’t try grilling me in Mandarin now, though.)

I’m fairly sure this is less “pro-Russia” and more “anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie”.

While Law & Justice’s [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin’s a lot, IIRC they’ve been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it’s a personal beef now since the party boss’s brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.

Why would anyone not like Russia or North Korea? They’re led by great guys, lovely guys. So strong! The haircuts. The uniforms!

Only started with Reddit last year, left when the country it’s based in started to threaten the country I’m in and a bunch of others, too.

TFA:

Authorities have said the agents were looking for the Milford High School teenager’s father

Arrested Development wiki on the Milford School:

Children should be neither seen nor heard.

Every time the Milford school is mentioned in the show, there’s a shot of Milford alumnus Buster Bluth exercising the skill he learnt there of avoiding being seen.

I’m in the middle of an AD rewatch, noticed the school’s name and made a quick, crappy joke on that.

Obviously the situation is actually horrible for the kid in the article and in no way his fault.

“Oh, but he won’t do that to me .”

Should have paid more attention in school

Exporting (Trump’s idea of) American free speech around the world!
