  • nah

    that’s some age old struggle

    idk how people still justify that clusterfuck, but it’s that way since forever. I remember vividly how we were annoyed by such shit with some “cross platform” gui toolkits (or browsers) back when debian woody still was relevant.

    This won’t be solved in this decade. or the next.
















  • my current guess is: this problem will mostly fix itself

    youtube-ads are ridiculous. I wouldn’t consume these as they are now. If I’m forced to use that site without sponsorblock and adblock, I’m tending to just never watching anything there.

    So if NewPipe/Sponsorblock (and of course NewPipe+Sponsorblock) are gone, then I won’t use that shit anymore and don’t feel any pain.

    Same as with reddit. The last weeks I visited when pointed to reddit by some search enigne, but not out of “I could browse it for fun”. I didn’t miss anything. Twitter? Not even trying to visit that shithole anymore, since most links are unreadable anyways.

    If platforms are closing down, they will lose my interactions. More free time for me!
