Does anybody but me remember when schools banned walkmen? What about portable CD players? Gameboy?

Except none of these things were feeding Andrew Tate or Joe Rogan garbage straight into their highly impressionable skulls.

I, for one, support the banning of phones in schools. The social media addiction has been shown to cause depression, particularly in girls, and the brainwashing is ever more apparent.

Perhaps.

I mean, it’s not like YouTube creators are happy with the state of the platform either. They keep getting paid less and less to the point that they have to resort to begging for donations or include sponsorships in the videos.

I imagine at this point other platforms are well positioned to capitalize on what YouTube has been doing to the platform for some time now. Personally I really like what platform aggregators like Grayjay are doing: basically the idea of following creators, not platforms.

So you can just install Grayjay now through their website and you’ll be surprised by how many youtubers you follow are already on other platforms.

Don’t lock it down. Just buy a cheap phone, populate it with inane stuff like pictures of food and travel.

Create a puppet Instagram/facebook account and do the same, and don’t install WhatsApp until you’re past security.

Better yet, don’t visit the US. Who knows how much more fucked up it will get as time goes on.

European here.

Same.

Religious

ALL religions, though? What about Buddhism?

Everyone is doing it, no worries. They can get isolated in their own bubble of hatred.

Both are.

However, and I’m not so familiar with Slimbook, but at least Tuxedo makes changes to the hardware they get from Clevo (or TongFeng?), to build what is ultimately a more premium product.

They also ship their own Linux distro that is optimised for the hardware they choose to put on their laptops and has a control panel that allows you to fine tune performance, battery, and so on.

You can check reviews of Tuxedo laptops. People are generally happy with what they get. I’m buying one before October this year before windows 10 drops all security patches. I’m already running linux out of a pendrive and happy with it.

I really want to like grayjay (love Louis and his philosophy), but the perma dark mode kills it for me. I don’t understand how some people enjoy that, it’s so depressing.

that’s the next phase of them trying to kick us off is just not serving people who do not have an account. So I would expect this to only increase over time.

A losing business model considering the growing amount of people who are sick and tired of the aggressive ad placements all YouTube.

Kicking out everyone who doesn’t log into a Google account would lead to an immediate loss in viewership throughout the month/year, and that wouldn’t do well with investors.

Also if you are going through the effort of changing email providers then now would be a good time to look into buying your own domain to use in order to decouple your address from the email provider.

How so you come up with an easy, memorable email for day to day use?

Portugal should implement a 200% country-wide tourism tax. Its impossible to live anywhere without being bombarded by tourists year-round.

Go use a fine-tuned model free from corpo

How does it get fine-tuned in the first place?

I mean, are there any countries where this isn’t the case? Maybe in China or North Korea, but not much else.

Exactly this.

Explains well why all of their products are becoming shittier by the day.

Really happy I moved over to Linux.

“We audited ourselves and found the law should be changed.”

You wouldn’t believe how much more bearable it is when you don’t install it in the first place!

Same lol. Especially the show file extensions. It is crazy to me that this is not on by default. Not only is it a useful feature to know at a glance what you’re looking at, it is also a security feature.

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

Why do you think they wanted Brexit? Now they can apply all their demented ideas to their country freely.

I, for one, haven’t set foot there since Brexit officially concluded. Shame that I have friends there but, I hear it’s becoming worse by the day anyways.

Sounds like a great idea for a movie. I have the feeling it would become an instant cult classic.
