Been using FreeTube for a bit now w/ GraphineOS, and my Linux Desktop. Runs cookieless embed of YouTube videos and Invidious instances built in. Localized subscriptions and playlists, which can be imported in from Google Takeout; no recommendations page. Occasionally YT will block your IP, which is where a good VPN comes into play so you could switch on the fly, and for overall additional privacy hygiene.

I would love to drop YT all together, but some independent journalists I follow are all there who’s coverage is really on the pulse. It pays to be informed by good journalists these days, and many of them are unfortunately on YT.

A thoughtful Mastodon post on the issue:

Lmaoo pardon my spelling

Not to mention his money flowing through right wing politics in Europe, exasterbating their messaging and influence.

Dabbled with Linux on a Raspberry Pi and a laptop that I only used from time to time; it wasn’t until the imminent Windows 10 support drop announcement that I finally installed it in my main rig. The words “fuck it” were uttered in my mind too.

Yup, all the momentum and revitalization of the democratic vote slowed to a crawl as soon the biden-esque political strategy got involved, caving on the Palestinian genocide, and by pretty much kicking Walz to the curb when it comes to PR. We could’ve been riding the “MAGA is just weird” all the way to polls, but neoliberealism had to fuck it all up again.

End their political lineage early with booting them off the ballot in a primary election

Tar and feather that fucker in top of being primaried.

If we go down, we go down swinging; not with cheeks spread for the GOP and Chucks donors.

He’s CAVING. Americans, call his office NOW.

I’m convinced those SNAP funds Trump’s supposed to be paying out were spent. States should say “No, fuck off” for the funds handed out for SNAP in their states, and keep any federal taxes unpaid and in an escrow until they get the federal funds and services they’re entitled to. If blows up into a civil war, then fuck it, it was meant to happen. Blue America should’ve been done subsidizing Red America a long time ago.

It looks like someone straight up took the eraser tool in Photoshop to his neck

OMFG DOGS

Let it be the beginning of the end of right wing, war criminal bullshit; while Mamdani takes the city at the turn of the century

In other words, “we want to make sure our email cookies definitely hit you when you open up our emails, as we are in fact a blood sucking shit stain ai platform that steals music from real artists, we might as well steal your data too.”

It feels more and more like an enivitability, but these fascists are bigger cowards than they appear. With free and fair elections on the chopping block, what other options do we have than to flex the biggest muscle of our democratic rights?

Absolutely not; establishment dems need to fuck right off. Kamala’s pitty party book tour going on about “wahh, y’all should’ve voted for meee, if y’all had voted for meee, we wouldn’t be in the fascist hellhole”.

Well we all fucking know that, but your brand of politics is weak, and we’re all over the neoliberal bullshit.

Nearly 100% of this bullshit run by the rogue regime is illegal. They don’t fucking care and no ones going to do any thing about it for us. There needs to be a general strike at the minimum ASAP.

Let’s see how that fairs out with say, for example, a general strike?

Lo and behold, ICE recruitment attracts the worst pieces of shit of American society. Who would’ve thought?
