Now that authy has fucked us over with this, what should I move my 2fa codes into, any recommendations?

Unfortunately I can’t use aegis on iOS/windows, does keepass have this functionality?

I usually find reasons to keep using microsoft products, but right now it’s the first time I’m seriously considering ditching all my microsoft services for FOSS and move to linux.

It’s gonna take a lot of effort and time migrating everything I use, but taking literal screenshots of your PC sounds fucking creepy, no matter how they sugar coat it. It’s like someone else literally watching all you do.

Usually you know they get your data, but now they want exactly what you are seeing and exactly what you are doing, taking it right out of your screen. It’s literal and plain spyware.

I have degoogled for a few years already, now I guess it’s microsoft’s turn.

I recommend Okular for PDF reading. No ads, no upsells, no BS. It also has native dark mode

You can just use crypto for its intended purpose and not give a shit about the whole culture around it. I frequently use it to buy gift cards not available in my country, a VPN, and pay securely without giving away all my data.

The real issue is people coming and bastardizing the concept by trying to get rich, and treating it as some kind of gambling machine.

He didn’t say “i don’t believe in crypto because it’s a scam” he said “I don’t believe in crypto, except on its use as a scam” so it’d be great to hear why.

Strange, for me Tineye has not a single time been able to identify ANY of the images I ever tried. Yandex has worked best for me

Youtube is one of those things you can’t avoid in practice. So if you don’t like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?

Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.

Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.

This is a common pattern in content creators. As they grow their goals shift into running a production machine that maximizes earnings, throwing away any values or standards they started with.

Just look at LTT/LMG. It’s not gonna get better, so you could watch someone else who still values things other than money.

The same Linus who can’t be arsed to spend $500 of various people’s time to properly test a product is now telling us what to do?

I’ve never given money to roku, and now I’ll never will

Today most Invidious instances are experiencing very harsh ip address rate limiting, it is becoming very very hard to watch yt videos through

AFAIK this is not what’s happening this time. YouTube slowly rolled out a change over the past 3 days that requires some sort of app verification for the android yt app. This is affecting Invidious since it emulates the yt android client to fetch video streams. This affects invidious instances hosted privately as well.

The maintainers are aware of this, and are working on ways to solve it. Tools like yt-dlp/newpipe still work because they have working implementations to fetch data by emulating web/iOS/etc clients.

If the team is finding out that their job ends on the same day, it’s totally Google’s doing, and not the vendor company.

Google loves cheap, disposable workers, that why half of their workers are contractors.

Not really, they have a docker compose file ready to go, and it works without issue.

The more stuff they do to shoot themselves in the foot, the sooner something else comes in to replace youtube

I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services…

No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I’d gladly stop using youtube, but there’s no competition.

The worst thing is that there are many bootlickers out there. Worker rights are a joke and companies have infinite ways of fucking you over.

In this instance the HR snakes were caught with their pants down and looked like imbeciles.

But for example many people get placed on PiP with unrealistic goals, or harassed by management over petty mistakes. The only goal being saving the corporation some money by claiming low performance.

A lot of people out there need to get their head out of their asses if they think this is ok.

The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?

All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.

I’ll never understand how Twitch became as big as a thing as it is.

You already answered that in your comment.

You want to watch videos, not livestreams. Of course a video will be better at being, you know, a video (nicely edited, in short format, etc). A livestream is different for many reasons, none of which interests you apparently.

Nothing wrong with that tbh. It’s just not for you.

It’s usable, but instances now deal with frequent rate-limits and you’ll see 429 errors quite often.
