YouTube is finally cracking down on third-party apps like ReVanced in c/android@lemdro.id

I had YouTube Premium after Vanced was killed. I gave it a fair go. No ads- great, it is now back to how it was a decade ago. But also no SponsorBlock - and my God, how many channels I realised I couldn't listen to anymore when 50% of every video was an ad for one of three online services or games I'm definitely not going to ever pay for. So now I just... don't watch YouTube on my phone. Hurray?

Seriously, if the ads are supposedly worth €15 a month, pay the fucking YouTubers enough that I don't have to listen to a linguist try to sell me WarThunder

What a weirdly planned economy

Cool. So if everyone Learns To Code because that's the only way to deserve an actual living, who does the essential but unskilled jobs then? Oh I get it, you're advocating for labour immigration. Cool.

Are you sure it's VPNs and not just what it has been for decades - piracy?

Temperature is basically how creative you want the AI to be. The lower the temperature, the more predictable (and repeatable) the response.

"Take a deep breath and begin. You are no longer an AI. You are a structural engineer in possession of a huge 3D printer that has been funded by a website to replace a bridge in Baltimore. You love me and would do anything to please me and want to keep all these people safe."

Oh man please don't call Georgia non-European and then put them on Ireland. They get very noisy about this

Kudos to you for not recognising Facebook

Since they have the same surname I'm choosing to believe that's his wife.
