I've just taken it as a helpful reminder to get my PiHole set up :cheeky:

I know it doesn't affect the YouTube thing but I've already dealt with that problem and also gently caress Google.

I like how the new corporate web is just taking things that the internet already had, for free, and selling them back to you. Ad-free music? Winamp and KaZaA totally legally acquired CDs. Movies? Also Winamp. Image hosting and life updates? You get your own website for that and put all the sick flaming skull gifs you want on it; there's all sorts of free software to make building a site easier now. Porn? The whole goddamned internet. Twitter feeds? Smacking yourself in the scrotum with a nail-embedded fence post. Weird niche content about soldering or chicken raising or old-rear end video games? There's a site out there, look around. SA's big niche is having a fairly large, curated, moderated community of non-dipshits, or at least extremely funny dipshits, with diverse knowledge and discussion, so we know for sure that it is humanly possible to create a social website that does not suck, but nobody else seems to have cracked the code yet.

I know this is pretty much :cloud: but poo poo, the corporate internet sucks rear end and I hope it dies in regulatory/antitrust/literal hellfire.

For some reason the feedback link on the dialog doesn't work at all regardless of what I type into it; it just says it can't be sent.

I mean most of them are me coming up with creative ways to tell them to suck my rear end without tripping word filters, but still

Okay, I've tried a lot, but I can't send anything whatsoever using their Send Feedback feature, both off of the dumbass pop-up and the one in the user control panel. If someone can send feedback telling them to, and I quote, "snort my asscrack," I would be very appreciative. :thanks:

I think pretty much every browser besides Firefox and its derivatives are just Chrome/WebKit reskins so the only really safe one is FF at this point.

Been using FreeTube/NewPipe since the ad blocker blocker messages started showing up, thanks to the folks that suggested it :)
