I'm glad I read this post because I certainly don't plan to visit the site.

Everything is bad, but a highlight for me is Ellen Degeneres posting "Welcome to Gay Twitter!" as if she is still relevant or respected by us LGBT+ people, and as if a site created by The Zuck to appeal to the type of person who thinks Miracle Whip is too spicy could ever be "gay" anything.

The term low-skilled labor is classist propaganda

But you are correct that this is how it's perceived through the warped lens of capitalism

UBI is not the answer. It's just liberals' way of propping up an inherently exploitative system

Also, gender studies is obviously a field we should be supporting more, given the prevalence of sexism in society and how many people are completely ignorant about the nature of gender

Also, "flip burgers" is a bad description of how hard it is to actually work in food service

You just know someone with a two-stall garage and boat who's always had things handed to them came up with that shit

I'm sure there will be a not insignificant number of users who don't even realize until sometime in July that their third-party app isn't working

As a terminally online person, I sometimes forget that a lot of people simply browse sites like reddit casually or infrequently

Thunder is also on F-Droid, which will also keep it up to date

The only reason I haven't switched to it from Jerboa is that sometimes I'll make a comment so I can come back to a thread later, but there's no way to check your profile on Thunder

Sort of. It has some similarities in that there are no ads, but Invidious is more privacy focused. Instead of accessing YouTube's API directly, it scrapes the content which is hosted on individual Invidious instances. Moreover, you can register an account to save playlists and such, which will be completely unattached from your Google account.

One thing that some people don't know is that you can copy/paste a YouTube URL into the searchbar of any Invidious instance, and it will find that video immediately. I do this a lot when I want to watch a video, but I don't want to contribute views to a particular channel, for whatever reason.

Will they play on Invidious?

As someone who lives in South Dakota, I wish I could say this is uniquely unhinged behavior, but it's pretty easy to find this sort of thing around here

I just tried Catbox, and that is pretty slick! I like how it gives the direct image link upfront, and it's neat how instead of asking for a subscription fee they use patreon and sell merch. Seems refreshingly straightforward.

This bullshit will make me switch to Linux

Between games being unoptimized and borderline unplayable anyway, the monstrosity that is Windows 11 which I'm forced to use at work, and now this projected cloud bs? Nope. Not interested.
