  • If the people who produce videos don't stop, there isn't much of an alternative other than abstinence.

    At which point, what's the benefit over using a mirror like invidious which gives you your video, uses up resources of the people you don't like, and doesn't harvest your data?

    I wouldn't use the actual YouTube site, or software clients. But open source mirror/alt clients like invidious, yt-dlp, or newpipe seem like a workable alternative.

    Until people who make videos move the fuck over, most of my subscriptions in newpipe will continue to be YouTube accounts, and not channels hosted on a peertube instance.

    Luckily newpipe works with both... For now.

  • Also what's the point of being anti-ai when you're already anti-cpyright?

    The issue isn't generative AI, its capitalism. The AI just makes capitalism's bad parts more efficient, or is at least supposed to.

  • This instances meme sub's seem to have been devlolving into r/im14andthisisfunny for a minute now.

    Its a shame lemmy's gotten big enough for the big meme sub's to be insufferable before it got big enough for the smaller ones to flourish.

  • Unfortunately you're kind of stuck if what you want to watch is only being uploaded there. That's why these alternatives exist. So you can watch their shit without contributing back to the site.

  • Cloudflare plans marketplace to sell permission to scrape websites

  • As someone who uses invidious daily I've always been of the belief if you don't want something scraped, then maybe don't upload it to a public web page/server.

    Its not like google fucking earned that money anyways. You don't earn billions of dollars.

    Think about it. If you earned a million dollars a year, you'd be set for life. If you lived for a full hundred years you'd have only made 1/10th of a billion dollars. Despite the fact that its still more money than either of us will probably ever see.

    The people who operate google have billions with an s at the end. Think about the hardest working person you've known. Think about how little money they made.

    Now ask yourself, what did the people with billions do to earn that money? How hard did they have to work to justify it, and how is that level of work even humanly possible? How would a bunch of spoiled overgrown trustfund fratboys find it in themselves do that work?

    They fucking don't. The only people who get that rich do it by cheating, and stealing, and fucking people over. Those fuckers owe us a lot more than video streaming services.

  • I remember the summer that came out. I was like 14/15. I had just built my first PC that Christmas, an fx6300/r9 270x build.

    That alpha ran great on it, coming off of playing ut99 on shitty integrated graphics, the game looked fucking awesome.

    Between that and the first Titanfall it was a good time for great shooters that would eventually be abandoned.

    Jesus I sound like all the old farts who where reminiscing about ut99 at the time.

  • Education is a big one to me. Through a series of unfortunate events I've become the owner of a number of guns, but I haven't done much other than make sure they're all unloaded and locked up in the safe.

    I gotta figure out some local classes or something, the base NRA one my state reqs is shit, and even if it wasn't, was taught by some boomer who shouldn't have guns.

    Not only did he sweep me with a barrel several times, he somehow had multiple stories of him needing his gun in defense. Except he didn't because he never used it other than to scare people. Also literally every story about it started with a phrase to the effect of: "so there was this black guy..."

    I really don't want to be one of those cock-knockers who walks around being a danger to themselves and others for an ego trip.

  • Yeah I'm trying to build my body to be cute and fuckable, not combat ready.

    Until cis men get their shit together, you can eat my ass about being a quivering shitbag.

    I'll add someone to the daily list of 132 people that die by gunshot in the US, if it means I don't have to double down on being a part of the nearly quarter of women who have been sexually assaulted.
