Premium has background playback! I use it to listen to video essays with my phone in my pocket when I’m working, screen off. Revanced was my go-to before premium but it has been a pain for me to patch recently (I’m just lazy) so I’m just using stock YT with Premium.

so true

Yeah I’ve tried this but the experience isn’t all there for me imo. It’s certainly a great project though.

Huh, I must’ve misremembered.

I’m a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can’t adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I’ve made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.

Graphene sandboxes Google services heavily, and is enabled and used only at user discretion. It doesn’t get higher priority than any other user application on the device. Calyx is alright but I would recommend Graphene much more than Calyx. I don’t like either of these though unless you are a privacy nut. If you just want to get out of Google, LineageOS works plenty well although without many of the creature comforts of a stock ROM.

idk man at least their dictators are somewhat competent rulers

The same Zuck that is training “AI” off their platform’s user data?

Not an eli5 because I’m still not caught up on it but if my memory serves, RISC-V is an open source architecture for processors, basically like amd64 or arm64, actually I’m pretty sure ARM’s chips are RISC derivatives.

Edit: correcting my comment, ARM makes RISC chips, not RISC-V

So you removed all of the windows 11 from the windows 11, sounds pretty tolerable.

This post feels vaguely similar to Putin’s justification of his invasion of Ukraine, something something denazification (when only very few extremists were actually Nazis).

I’m not even from Florida 😭😭 Planning on a namechange for my Internet personality soon though

I hate Comcast as much as the next guy but I feel like 1.5TB a month would be reasonable. Even at those speeds you probably wouldn’t be downloading more, just downloading whatever you do now but faster.

E: I was gonna ask why this was so controversial but I just checked my routers stats and, oh yeah I’ve only downloaded around half a terabyte over 3 segregated VLANs in the past 2 months. I’ve uploaded almost double that which is baffling to me though. Even still I don’t see why anyone would be downloading anything more that a terabyte in a month unless your one of those data hoarders, which fair but… I’ll stop my rambling.

Thanks for the read!

Ah, I will look into adding that to my React layouts. Thanks for the suggestion!

Ah I will look into that, maybe there’s a Matrix library I can implement so that I don’t have to do that manually, lol.

I have been looking for an alternative recently, I was going to publish an article about why I dropped disqus and my search for an alternative but I never saw this. I guess the search term “self-hosted website comments” has all its SEO clogged up with Disqus by now. Will check this out though, thanks!

I do have an RSS feed! It’s https://floridaman7588.me/feed.xml I should probably put it in a more obvious place on my site tho, haha. And thanks for reading!

Haha April fools, right? Right??
