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)

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?

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?

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 :)

It might be time to introduce them to Navidrome :)

Tequila Mockingbird hits my sense of humour just right! I love that!

A large majority of my apps are from F-Droid these days, but here are some of my favorites I haven’t seen in this thread yet:

(Note that some of these need the IzzyOnDroid repo installed, not sure if that counts as cheating)

Tempus A rapidly improving music streaming client for Subsonic/Navidrome/Jellyfin

Kvaesitso The best launcher on Android period (Nova users, give this one a try as Nova is no longer receiving updates!)

Lavender Photos My favorite gallery app! Clean, modern interface and some very good basic editing tools that provide utility without making it feel bloated

Breezy Weather A very nice looking weather app that allows multiple weather sources (defaults to Open Meteo)

WG Tunnel A very clean and simple Wireguard client so you don’t have to install your VPN provider’s proprietary app

Ooh look I can do that too!

I bet you’re sitting there with a huge smug grin on your face after totally owning me in this debate we were having, and you’ll tell all your friends and colleagues about how great you are for winning this internet argument

See how I made up an imaginary caricature of you and insulted that? See how fucking dumb and childish that sounded?

Maybe next time don’t take constructive criticism so personally

I gave you the benefit of the doubt, and tried alerting you in good faith that your “joke” didn’t come off the way (I assume) you intended.

I didn’t accuse you of being biphobic.

I didn’t even accuse you of thinking bisexualality isn’t real, despite the fact you wrote that in your comment.

I said nothing about you personally.

The correct response would have been along the lines of “sorry, I didn’t mean for my comment to come across as hostile, I was just trying to make a silly joke, my bad”

Instead, you’ve just been a dick

What does that accomplish exactly?

Hey, I get this is supposed to be a joke but starting it off with the words “there’s no such thing as bisexuality” and then proceeding to reduce attraction to only existing during sex… Yeah, that’s kinda gross

display: grid for a single element feels kinda cursed to me

Also came here to say Nightcrawler. I was 15 when I saw it, and of course at the time I thought nothing could freak me out, but I wasn’t prepared for Jake Gyllenhaal being that creepy

A level of Bible fanfiction Danté would be proud of
