I was using the official YouTube app since I wanted to use chromecast to get a video up on my tv.
I havent used revanced, seems interesting also. But Newpipe just does what I need so im happy.
Already have network wide adblocking but doesnt stop YouTube ads in their official app.
Yeah I have a few colleagues that did that too. But I dont want to support big tech by being paying user.
I tried YouTube today for the first time in years. Its unwatchable. The frog must have been slowly boiling for years to have so many people accept what Youtube is now. Just wow.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes but had about 5 ads during that time, taking up several minutes of my time. It broke my focus and I forgot what the video was about.
Back to Newpipe.
Some people on wall street say we are going to have the greatest economy in history
Im not very educated about these things, but which countries have isolated themselves from free trade and are rich?
I wanted to like them but I dont know, I think they are more natural at the top still.
I have a colleague who even saves all his tabs using a plugin, just in case he will need them at some point.
I dont know, I never have problems finding what I need so dont need to save anything.
Tab groups are great though, I need them so I can have groups with our aws accounts at work. That way i can just quickly get in to any account.
Thats strange. I see Teslas everywhere, but never polestar. A lot of Volvos too.
For me i want to see what happens with tariffs. If upgrades are going to be expensive now with Trumpler in charge, I will just wait.
I dont know why you say we in this context. Almost none of us have any control over the decisions of "the world". Its run by billionaires with their paid off politicians, corporate lawyers, judges...
Russia is very corrupt, China as well, USA is getting there...
The problem is not overpopulation, its that humans have no power. What if we wanted to stop spending money on warfare one day and focus all that money on building more high tech buildings, lowering prices of housing, increasing wages,....you know, positive things for humans and prioritize happiness for everyone.
Sounds like a dream right? Because you cant do that, you have no power. Thats the problem, not overpopulation. That can easily be fixed with money and visions, expanding public transport, investing in high tech trains etc etc.
Currently it feels like the only way the world would be able to work together for the good of humanity would be if there was a big asteroid coming, and everyone needed to work together for once, putting our little stupid differences aside. We could do that, but leaders are children and very low on empathy or interests in making life better for strangers.
