Youtube Rant from a paying customer

I used to use NewPipe back in the days of yore. Then I got Youtube Premium since it bundled in Youtube Music as well which I used. But the former's app on mobile is a shit show. Even after paying, you are asked to tip random creators, purchase merchandise[ which are shown as actual ads below videos] and join channels to access...

Happy customer personally, never had these complaints.

That's certainly one of the takes of all time.

Player demo: https://demo.foundryvtt.com/join

It's worth the money, I've bought it twice.

If you can't afford 50 bucks right now, try it owlbear rodeo. Foundry usually goes on sale later in the year.

With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit)

Do you think that the fediverse has something to gain with the enshitfication of discord? Are there voice chat programs in the fediverse that can benefit from it?

This will be an unpopular opinion here, but Discord is worth paying for and I do. Obviously, everyone's usage will differ, but I use it for video and voice chat for several hours a week and I can count on one hand the number of hours that have been disrupted by discord service outage. That kind of value is worth paying for imho.

What decisions have impacted your ability to use the service? I'm not keen on all of the choices they've made, but they also don't negatively impact the way that discord serves me.

I didn't mind the mobile UI update, it had some kinks at first that I mostly think have been worked out. So some of these kinds of things will just be difference of taste.

Wow that has not been my experience thankfully, but I can definitely understand being upset by that, especially the fold stuff.

I advocate for voting with your wallet.

Why exactly did a telecom company need SSNs anyway?

Edited to add, this was a rhetorical question and more a comment on the awful series of systems in the USA that leads a SSN to be used by telecom companies.

Interesting, cause I was thinking jail time.

This isn't about hardware, though. The experiment was performed on a Switch.

Lego Island.... What a fucking legendary game.

I don't think it was meant to paint anyone in a negative light. The article is written very neutrally and quotes the artist addressing the irony.

4k @ 120, but 5k @ 240? How does that work?

Attacking Biden for the possible crimes of his son is bullshit. Likewise, attacking Boebert for the possible crimes of her son is bullshit. Two hypocrites don't make a right.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I didn't say that though? Where did I compare calling out a hypocrite to being a hypocrite? I was trying to offer a word of warning to those who might quickly jump onto the same platform they've been shouting from for years.

@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I sincerely think my point was not well conveyed. I was not trying to equate this article to ongoing impeachment hearings. Quite the contrary.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I didn't say that she was.

I still don't understand why this was a better idea than a train.

Morrowind and Oblivion are probably both on my top ten list of best games ever, if not top 25. I used to be a huge Bethesda fan. Starfield is perhaps the most disappointing game I have ever played. I tisk say worst, mind you, I said disappointing. Any excitement I had for ES6 is well and truly gone.

It's also a stretch to call something spying when they tell you they are going to do it.

Not been my experience. Yt music playlists are really good for me and I've discovered a lot of new music through it.

@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Do you ever thumb down anything, or do you just skip the stuff you don't like?

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I dunno, sorry to hear about your experience. I've never had a thumb downed song come back up, not ever. And it absolutely affects what kinds of things come up in my radios.

You've never played League of Legends because they just now introduced kernal level anti cheat? That doesn't even make sense.

Tangentially related, but Empress is a bigot.

I do. ¯*(ツ)*/¯

@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I don't pirate, actually, but still casually peruse the community and try to stay up to date with news and such.

But even if I did, it's possible for someone to hold one view about software ownership, while holding another view about bigotry. I don't really think they are very related worldviews, in fact, so it's an odd comparison to make.

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

Got any evidence of that?

iAmTheTot ,
@iAmTheTot@kbin.social avatar

I generally don't go out of my way to validate every crazy thing I read on the internet without any backing evidence supplied.

It's not really that hard if you're actually passionate and interested in it. There's lots of resources out there for finding groups. And especially now, if you're willing to play online using a virtual tabletop, it's easier than ever.

This isn't piracy, they released the damn thing.

So, this format suggests that the sorcerer is getting fucked...?

iAmTheTot ,

Because they are just reporting on facts that give context the entire situation.

That's if you have air in your lungs, or rather, at least not water. The common create water trope this meme is mocking is a player wanting to create water directly in someone's lungs. At that point, you're actively drowning.
