Pipepipe lets you block channels too which is so useful for results that tend to over represent larger youtubers you may have no interest in on the initial results.

I like pipepipe and freetube since there isn't really an opportunity for either to offer a curated algorithm of content it thinks I would be interested in. And I can block channels which had been a game changer. Especially on the tech and game side, since search results tend to be dominated by a few big youtubers on the first pages.
Not sure they'd be happy with the hardware performance and camera if they are the type willing to drop $1000 on a phone coming from the iPhone. So that's probably the main reason.
Blueskys blocklist people can subscribe too is a good approach. So people can find filters that meet their needs. So like bot filter that could be updated over time.
Most noticeable when it comes to stopkillinggames threads where you'll see comments of people being angry at the movement and misrepresenting it wanting to force games to have to stay online indefinitely.
Ink displays are more comfortable on the eyes like reading something on paper than a regular display. Prefer them to physical books now.
Yeah, I put it into airplane mode when I heard Amazon was going to push an update removing some feature. Then just kept using it as I did before using calibre to send books.
Finally decided to jailbreak it and I am glad I did since the custom lockscreens and koreader has been cool.
If you are lazy put your kindle into airplane mode until you find time to jailbreak your kindle. I actually jailbroke it using the previous winterbreak method last week, since I had kept my kindle in airplane mode using calibre.
Its like once a hobby goes from a small group enthusiasts to mainstream it gets worse as corporations see an opportunity to monetize what was previously loser city. Like video games and old message boards and irc to what we have now with all sorts of monetization and tracking being shoved in as services gain critical mass among the general population.
Things seem easier to manage by humans at its infancy when its mainly people passionate about what they are using. I went from wishing fediverse to get big enough to replace mainstream social media to being fine with it being a smaller alternative. That initial small phase has kind of been the golden period for lot of things.
Way to properly do it is to keep them separate drives and use bios to select which to load.
Yep. It gets exhausting how much effort it takes on part of the user to find a way to not have to use a Microsoft account and disable all the things they don't want. LTSC makes it easier but that isn't even a version Microsoft makes easily available, so once again users have to jump through so many hoops trying to retrieve a verified iso and activate it.
Meanwhile Linux is pick a distro among many that appeals to you and get going. It makes Microsoft feel like they hate its userbase and views them as nothing more than data to collect and sell.
Only regulation should be parental control tools being an option to aid in parenting. But, anything else just seems like an excuse for governments to spy on the population, which can become problematic if a nefarious over reaching person or party comes into power.
Things like requiring verification or whatever is only safe when its a benevolent dictator, but that can quickly change to what was fine is now thought crime and used to go after enemies harboring treasonous thoughts who can thankfully be located due to profiles connected to real IDs.
