Use Piped and Invidious. Newpipe with SponsorBlock on my android. LibreTube is also good.

You're right, I haven't dropped Youtube - but I've added Nebula. It's not gonna be long now before either my last youtube-only creator moves to Nebula or I find some way to get an ad-free provider to play on my TV. Then I can finally unsubscribe from YT.

Thank you for doing this work. I tried Ubuntu dual booted in 2011 and loved it but gave it up when windows re-wrote the boot. I finally got a linux machine when I got a second PC. I think laptops and phones are the best bolster to linux - you can troubleshoot on a second screen instead of getting soft-locked while doing a base install to a mission critical computer.

Legislators create committees, and they frequently don't have many people who care about the issue. Committees are usually... Bipartisan. And not often about effectiveness but about prestige, and lobbying.

Those agencies are toothless. Even under Biden, they're rebuilding those agencies and just crossing their fingers that they aren't torn apart again in 2024 or 2028.

Yep! I had problems with one of those red dyes as a kid. Made me go ape shit mode and I was violent every single time I had a candy with it. Then all the other time I was hyperactive but harmless.

Well, this seems inevitable. But on the other hand, Github is really unique in the business and labor market too.

  1. Huge and important companies depend on it for hosting code.
  2. These same companies depend on open source projects.
  3. These same companies depend on programmers posting to their Github to share examples of their skills with the world, being potential employees.

Now if you can enshittify Github in a way that doesn't fuck with how important people use it too much, it will be after changes to how the tech hiring environment works - worldwide.

I would use Markdown editors for literally all office tasks if I could.

My baby actually. Look, MS is a powerful company and they're making a lot of desperate strategic purchases as their main business corrodes. Their brand is more based on gaming. Their infrastructure? The cloud and github. They've got the butter and they're looking for bread to slap it across.

Edge's bookmark solution is way better than the other browsers. I respect that ingenuity. From a distance.
