It’s a masturbation joke.

When I searched for the quote, the only result was this:

My guess is that they wrote those themselves.

I don’t know how it works under the hood, but from a user perspective it behaves like it’s in BFU. Biometrics disabled, phone code required.

Long press of power and volume up for a few seconds puts you into BFU.

I use the Orion browser with uBlock Origin installed and get 0 ads on YouTube.

Well his own speech is absolutely free. I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.

Like I get it, it’s scary and I don’t want them to have my data, but my picture is being taken ALL the time basically everywhere I go. Is putting my foot down for this specific type really making a difference?

I’m gonna fall through the ceiling :(

Even beyond renting, installing a wifi camera is SO much cheaper than running Ethernet all over your house. And if you need it run through an external wall? Even more money.

Broken clocks can still be right.

Inspectors from the UN found enrichment activity was starting to exceed 84% where 90% is the target for bomb making. 60% is the level they are attempting to enforce.

Also this is February 2023, so you’d suspect they’ve made more progress since then.

Call it what you want, but this requirement prevents me from buying their products too. I use no Meta services. Don’t wanna start.

It’s an interesting thought and I’ve thought before it would be nice if I could pay for an exit node but not be legally responsible or have to maintain it. I’d pay $10 for that. I think crypto miner is where you lost me. Big crypto fan, but mining on a VPS is a bad idea. You’ll consume a ton of resources and power and generate next to nothing in terms of coins.

I don’t know why we have to use Twitter as a source. It fucking sucks.

I love the people downvoting you. Angry meat eaters? Chinese propagandists? Something else entirely?

This is what they mean by test driven development.

People definitely do. CTR (click through rate) is generally pretty low, even before the majority of Americans were using ad blocks. But it’s not 0

This is where my mom pops in my room at 11pm and is like “why are you listening to Connie Francis and looking so sad?”

You’re right. They care about our privacy and would never do anything to sully that trust. Certainly not through a partnership with an electronics manufacturer that pays them to do it…

They basically did the same thing several decades ago with Kindles and whispernet. It’s not really that crazy.

Patreon for the ones you really like, and substituting watching my own content on Plex is how I’m weening myself off YouTube.
