EDIT: For those who are too lazy to click the link, this is what it says

Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won't work anymore.

If you are interested to install Invidious at home, we remind you that we have a guide for that here: https://docs.invidious.io/installation/..

This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.

I have updated the public instance list in order to reflect on the working public instances: https://instances.invidious.io. Please don't abuse them since the number is really low.

Feel free to discuss this politely on Matrix or IRC.

T9 was a rapid entry system for sending texts using a number pad on a phone.

Instead of doing hello as 44 33 555 555 666 you could do 43556 and it'd predict 'hello'.

Holy shit, someone that ACTUALLY knows what T9 was!

Most people think that T9 was the method of typing on the telephone keypad, but no its an improvement on that!

Predictive text was another name for it.

Ooookay... How's that relevant here tho... I'm so confused

UraniumBlazer is using contractions such as u instead of you.

Back in the early days of texting, this saved time, and potentially money as well since you paid for each 144 (or was it 160) characters.

And in the modern era there's generally no practical reason to use "u" for "you" and so forth anymore, and doing so just makes you seem weirdly lazy, elderly, childish, and really out of touch all at once.

Oh. Ok. Ig I am "weirdly lazy" then. No harm in that I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're only saving two letters, while also sounding childish when "u" type like that... there's just no need to type like that anymore.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 2 months ago

Ok. But I like typing like that. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Yea but the people who use this today grew up after T9.
