I don’t think like you, but that’s good for both of us.
Install another browser like Librewolf (ublock included) or Brave. That’s it, say good-bye to the ads, and not only in Youtube. In Android use Youtube Revanced. In Android TV (Nvidia shield, google TV, etc) use SmartTube.
And don’t use the “ads-company” browser in the future if you don’t like ads.
No AI? Are they allowed to do that? Are you sure?
If you like one spy over another, be my guest. I think companies that spy are not worth it at all.
ExpressVPN is a Chinese govt aproved company… do all audits you want. You need trust. Audits doesn’t matter. They can change everything after. I trust IVPN and Mullvad
VPS VPN hides you from ISP but VPS IP still shows to peers → worst case: abuse email/suspension. Use WireGuard, not OpenVPN: faster, leaner, modern crypto. No compression, full-tunnel + DNS leak protection, firewall to block non-VPN traffic, minimal logs. If host’s fine with P2P, you’re set.
Honesty is such an odd practice that some people hate it.
Honestly, I find it ridiculous that companies like Disney want to claim ownership over the data used to train AI models. Training data isn’t duplication, it’s learning. The same way humans study, reference, and reinterpret. Trying to monetize every aspect of “influence” is a slippery slope that stifles innovation just to protect legacy revenue streams.
This isn’t about fairness, it’s about control. And the more these companies try to dominate every avenue of cultural expression, the more irrelevant they risk becoming.
Even so. You can always make a screencapture.
We need to be autocritic here. Most of us don’t get it. That’s the problem.
When Trump says piracy, I understand he’s referring to classic piracy (with little boats and all), and when he says IP Theft, I assume he’s referring to the piracy that concerns us. Good luck adding a tax to my $0 rate.
Decentralized, yeah sure!
Sorry, I misunderstood then. I use Librewolf btw, great choice.
We vote with our browser. And you are voting Chromium. It’s ok, but you could do something about it.
This is a rebranding of Google Play Movies, or TV or whatever they call it.
VPN must be a human right at this point
If I travel to Japan (just for fun, not for this) I am not allowed to buy the Switch 2? Or is there any regional restriction?
Oh no, is the end of piracy!
Honestly, suing pirates is like kicking a tree to prove it’s still alive, it doesn’t change the game. Piracy isn’t the villain here; it’s practically part of the success story.
I would be very interested to know how they plan to resolve these issues with “Ladybird.” Using a new engine will likely clash with the FALSE “security measures” of many websites and harm the browsing experience. It’s often said that users should demand respect for web standards, but in the meantime, as usability declines, users will gradually drift away. Firefox learned this lesson the hard way.
Seriously, like, actually seriously, I want to believe that this time everyone will leave Discord, and not just a small group of weirdos like us who “care about privacy” and ended up on Lemmy.
