He coerced and raped a severely autistic woman. Iirc he was wanted by London police in connection with it but he lives in… I think Iceland now (don’t quote me on that, I’m not sure if I got the country right)

Hey, don’t be sexist… They also let women stare at boobs discreetly

I’d classify it more as a syrup, but whether syrups are just a subset of “goo” is up to you

Yes they do, it’s been that way since mid-covid. They even put ads on small channels who aren’t eligible for monetisation yet. All part of Google’s enshittification strategy. Just use uBlock origin or a third party client

It’s sad but I’m hardly surprised she went offline, her coming out video got brigaded by the most disgusting 4chan scum

I was never subscribed or watched him religiously, but sometimes I’d watch something of his that popped up if it looked interesting.

I’ve had his channel blocked since the 90mph in a school zone incident. Dude can get fucked for that and I hate that everyone seemed to forgive him and move on

A few I’ve watched got outed as creeps or predators (Wilbur Soot, Exurb1a, + a couple others I can’t remember)

There was one space news channel I watched who’s name I can’t remember now (he even showed up in one of Everyday Astronaut’s live streams at one point years ago iirc) who turned out to be MAGA and started making videos about how “nAsA iS aCtUaLlY cOmMuNiSt”

My most recent unsub was Brodie Robertson, he was apparently caught sharing loli images in a discord server or something. Apparently the guy who called him out for it is some alt-right grifter, but Brodie’s defence amounted to “it’s just drawings bro”

I’ve been watching YouTube as my main source of entertainment for 15+ years so there are countless creators who’s content I’ve just lost interest in too.

What the fuck are you talking about?

No, you can use your own account if you like but the “default” usage is to log in anonymously

Sorry, I’m confused here, why do you need to make a Google account?

I wouldn’t have minded using their app instead, but I don’t have the Play Store on my phone (I’m on GOS)

Any reason why you aren’t just using the Aurora store?

I’m not sure even Trump’s bowels will be under his control by the time he leaves office

I’ve been using Qwant for about a year now, they and Ecosia built their own EU based index a while ago. I’ve been pretty happy with it

They did introduce an AI overview thing a few months back, but it can be permanently turned off with two clicks

Wasn’t Esperanto made by a Polish dude?

I even bought an activation key on Kinguin

Don’t waste your money, massgrave.dev is right there

One command, works flawlessly.

Wait, people are actually out here daily driving the default Lemmy web UI instead of using their own client?

i hate that so many tools nowadays want you to curl | sh for installing

Using NixOS has the advantage of making me not want to touch these tools. If I can’t install it reproducibly with Nix, I’ll just look for an alternative :)

Thank you for your work on this project!

It might be time to introduce them to Navidrome :)
