I keep hearing about revanced, but I never end up checking it out because there’s always another option. I used to use Invidious for everything, then I used Newpipe for everything, and now I use Grayjay for everything. I have faith that if Revanced goes down, there will be another Revanced in days.

1. Thanks, I will look into it
2. She can but it would make her sad. I don’t get it, but since this is the only thing we fight over I count myself lucky

Normally thats a good option but my wife really likes watching Disney+, Dropout, and football on the NFL app, so if I did that I think I would be sleeping on the couch. Besides, I don’t mind the ads, they’re all in Spanish anyway

I mean, their algo might be shit already. All its ads for me have been in Spanish for a while now. I do not speak Spanish nor do I have any interest in telenovellas lol

That’s what I’m doing now, but I have to go through the Roku part to get to it. Also roku scans everything coming through the HDMI ports to try and recognize media so it knows what ads to give you

Sick! I wanna check that out

No, really. That’s what most people do.

You know how most people would think you are a hacker if you started running commands in terminal/CLI? Same thing with torrenting. Torrenting is this scary program that hackers use to put malware on your computer.

My wife was raised by an IT guy and uses firefox for everything, and she is also scared by torrenting. She’s more educated on it, sure, but she’s still scared of it because she thinks the FBI will arrest her for downloading pirated software. She’s much more comfortable going to one of those sketchy streaming sites behind the protection of a good adblocker.

Especially since a good ad blocker gets rid of all those ads.

It’s what I do. I know for myself that torrenting would be my personal rubicon. I wouldnt be able to do it, morally speaking, without reseeding, and then I would have to start investing in a home server and get really stuck-in. I’m just not ready to do that until I’m willing to fully commit.

About a gig of books, and one movie called “Lensman: Secret of the Lens”

When I wanted to revisit Harry Potter via audiobook, I pirated the books, and I will do it again someday.

If your Switch is the one in the picture, I dont think jailbreaking it is going to do much for you.

How do you feel about Halloween costumes?

Did some digging, and Gen Xers were best known for being helicopter parents. This was in reaction to how their parents barely paid attention to them. They are the only generation that gets hate for being helicopter parents, as far as I can tell. They seem to be the Soccer Mom generation.

Millenials definitely were called enitled and lazy when they were in their 20s. Theyre in their 40s now, now the supposedly lazy generation is Gen Z. Every generation has called kids in their 20s entitled and lazy. In about 15 years Gen Alpha will be the lazy and entitled generation.

That said, it is a big hole in this theory. Gen X and the Silent Generation seem to only be remembered by how they behaved in their youth, and Gen Z seems to be following that trend.

There is another theory I’ve heard that I like:

1. The parents of the millenials were the boomers. The parents of gen z was gen X. Millenials and boomers are fairly equally disliked, and gen alpha seems to be shaping up to follow that trend.
2. If you have been paying attention to legitimate complaints about each generation, you’ll notice similarities between the kids and their parents. Both millenials and boomers get hate for being terrible parents and workaholics, and the hate gen z is currently getting for having no work ethic sounds very similar to the hate gen X got back when they were in their 20s for being supposedly lazy and stupid becuase of MTV.
3. This implies that we are seeing not one pendulum of overractions to generational trauma, but two. The Millenials and the Baby Boomers, if you trace it back, descended from the humbly named Greatest Generation which fought in WWII and set the wheels of modern American culture into their current tracks. Gen Z and Gen X descend from the Silent Generation, who were best known for being conformist and pretty much nothing else.

Here’s the conjecture part of the theory: the Boomer lineage has been taught that what matters is what you do and if you don’t achieve you have no value, whereas the Silent Generation lineage has been taught that good people are good to their family and community and being a workaholic is bad for that. The poop-throwing you’re seeing online is simply an expression of a conflict between opposing values.

I see Shaggy is suspiciously absent. Clearly he is too powerful for this competition

Peertube is the youtube equivalent.

Yeah. Knowing myself, I’m probably going to just forget i have the wealth and spend it on getting a nice house in a nice area and getting my wife pretty dresses to wear to work while I stay home and take care of the kids.

I think the only hypothetical entity willing to give me the money would have to be Satan himself; I’d be making a bet with him that I wouldn’t be corrupted by the wealth, he takes my soul if I get greedy. Can’t imagine convincing any other sort of entity to give me billions of dollars to do nearly nothing with it.
