I keep hearing about revanced, but I never end up checking it out because there’s always another option. I used to use Invidious for everything, then I used Newpipe for everything, and now I use Grayjay for everything. I have faith that if Revanced goes down, there will be another Revanced in days.

1. Thanks, I will look into it
2. She can but it would make her sad. I don’t get it, but since this is the only thing we fight over I count myself lucky

Normally thats a good option but my wife really likes watching Disney+, Dropout, and football on the NFL app, so if I did that I think I would be sleeping on the couch. Besides, I don’t mind the ads, they’re all in Spanish anyway

I mean, their algo might be shit already. All its ads for me have been in Spanish for a while now. I do not speak Spanish nor do I have any interest in telenovellas lol

That’s what I’m doing now, but I have to go through the Roku part to get to it. Also roku scans everything coming through the HDMI ports to try and recognize media so it knows what ads to give you

Sick! I wanna check that out

Please, friends, practice forgiveness. It makes it all easier. Forgive yourself. Just because you can conceive of better doesn’t mean you can do better at that moment.

No, really. That’s what most people do.

You know how most people would think you are a hacker if you started running commands in terminal/CLI? Same thing with torrenting. Torrenting is this scary program that hackers use to put malware on your computer.

My wife was raised by an IT guy and uses firefox for everything, and she is also scared by torrenting. She’s more educated on it, sure, but she’s still scared of it because she thinks the FBI will arrest her for downloading pirated software. She’s much more comfortable going to one of those sketchy streaming sites behind the protection of a good adblocker.

Especially since a good ad blocker gets rid of all those ads.

It’s what I do. I know for myself that torrenting would be my personal rubicon. I wouldnt be able to do it, morally speaking, without reseeding, and then I would have to start investing in a home server and get really stuck-in. I’m just not ready to do that until I’m willing to fully commit.

I have a friend that has been trying for the past 2 years to get me to stop using Linux because its a “security risk”. My wife is also scared of piracy and adblockers. This is what most people are like.

You are in a tech-literate bubble.

A number of them think that Linux is a security hazard, like it’s extra susceptible to viruses

Mastodon links

Tried doing this, scared my friends by sending them weird links, got blocked a few times.

I disagree, we need more targeted assassinations of CEOs

Hey, I’m not saying i don’t do that, but I’m really good at forgiving myself for getting stuck in an avoidance spiral (since if you start beating yourself up you now have one more thing to avoid) and that means I’m really fucking good at forgiving other people, which means I’m also really fucking good at conflict resolution.

Smarter: lmao, thats the autism, the adhd hyperfocus gives me super task-avoidance

Faster: LMFAO. My reaction time is noticeably slow. I was a lifeguard for a while, which is why I am very aware of this

The only upsides are the coping mechanisms I have been forced to develop for it have been super helpful in my adult life

About a gig of books, and one movie called “Lensman: Secret of the Lens”

Not accurate. Left side should not have the feeling of accomplishment
