Is HBO Max, Max, and Cinemax at all related? When I hear "Max" I think of Cinemax even though maybe that went away like decades ago?

I can’t think of a single time the “our brand will absorb any identity like it’s Kirby” bullshit ever loving worked, and it’s just a sign that nobody will tell their designers or brand consultants “no,” and that nobody knows what their corporate identity actually is. I only hope there’s a Pepsi-esque slide deck to leak that uses the golden ratio to explain how the Patreon logo is “aesthetic geometry” and corresponds to the Earth’s magnetic fields Blue Moonlight fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Oct 5, 2023 |

Also I heard for mobile whatever the new fork of youtube vanced is still working but I really don't watch youtube on mobile so I didn't check.

Woolie Wool posted:and replace it with what? Even DuckDuckGo is little different from Google, often worse. I rarely search for actual websites anymore. There aren't that many left really. So I'm mostly using google as a shortcut for searching on sites I already know, like maps, word definitions, reddit/quora, etc. because I can just type the search term into the address bar. I need to go back to actually visiting websites and using their search boxes. I know you can specify the domain you want to search on google, but that's more tedious than opening a bookmark to me.

You could try the paid search engine https://kagi.com/ Some goons like it and I may try it soon with how unsatisfied I've been with other search engines lately.

You can sometimes just zap that invisible thing. I used to go all detective when things like this happen, but these days I try to rely on EasyList and Fanboy annoyance lists, because sometimes I break other stuff. Often all it takes is a little waiting. The real tragedy for me will be when yt-dlp no longer works or is lawyered out of existence. These days I like to download longer-form videos and just watch them without the use of a browser.

Time_pants posted:Every major sport in the entire country, year-round. The only league that blacks out based on stadium attendance is the NFL, and only when the game is on over-the-air TV. The other leagues' blackouts are because they have sold exclusive broadcast rights to some other broadcaster; e.g. you can't watch the Mariners on MLB.tv if you live in Washington, because the Root Sports cable channel carries all the games exclusively in the state.

I live about 2 hours from the stadium and we're in the blackout for every home game. The only saving grace is that MLB either hasn't figured out VPNs yet or it explicitly doesn't care, so if I have an MLB.tv subscription I can watch the games from "the Netherlands". Still a ridiculous pain in the rear end.

Google Podcasts was a simple streamlined way to subscribe to & listen to podcasts. Axing it in favour of YouTube Music is bullshit. I've already tried it on YM and it's bloated bullshit, and I can't seem to subscribe yet. But I'm going to muscle through it because I'm already so invested in the Google Workspace.

mom and dad fight a lot posted:Google Podcasts was a simple streamlined way to subscribe to & listen to podcasts. Axing it in favour of YouTube Music is bullshit. I switched to Android last year and needed a podcast app, and I'll say I really liked the Google one. But I figured since I was starting over, no reason to get more tied to Google and got AntennaPod from Fdroid. Never looked back. Worse: Youtube decided I can't see my subscriptions anymore on desktop and nags me every page to allow it to record my watch history. I just want to see the list of my subs and pick which one I want to see what they have done in the last few weeks or whatever. But no, I see a timeline of jumbled mess, not the curated list of channels I want to bookmark and come back to.

Does this link to the subscriptions feed still work for you? https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions It still works on desktop for me. It leads to a chronological list of recent uploads from channels I'm subscribed to. I use it as my Youtube bookmark instead of the main page.

Bandcamp is probably hosed: https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-sale-bandcamp-music-platform-limbo/ quote:Bandcamp employees were stunned to learn that some of them would not be receiving job offers from Songtradr. That day, the acquisition was announced publicly, and multiple Bandcamp employees say they began losing access to many of the systems needed to do their jobs, leaving the platform operating with limited oversight... There goes the last thing I cared about on the internet. gently caress you Epic. They probably just bought Bandcamp to play Lawsuit Games (TM) with Apple.

I’m not sure if it’s all of them or just the one near me but my local Food Lion grocery store has gone downhill drastically in the last 2 years or so. For one, I don’t know if anyone actually works there. Someone may just swing by in the morning, unlock the door and turn the lights on and then leave for all I know. It’s hard to find a single employee, the entire store is filthy, and the registers are always closed so you have to use self checkout, and those are unattended so if (when) there’s a problem you’ll be waiting forever for anyone to show up if they even do. I once waited nearly 10 minutes one time, gave up and just walked out of the store without my stuff. Today I went in and just happened to walk by the unattended customer service area and saw this. They might as well just put up a single large sign that reads “gently caress you”.
