  • This is what I assumed,but if it helps in any other way, I’m happy to wishlist more games from small time developers.

    I use likes and subs liberally on apps like YouTube or TikTok, even if I wouldn’t normally want to subscribe. It costs me nothing to do and gives someone else joy. Why wouldn’t I?

    Eh, it messes up my algorithm but I don’t care. These Corporations know too much about me anyway, might as well give them a curveball.



  • I see a lot of commenters really hate Apple, but to clarify, the manual isn’t what’s important here.

    According the article, the manuals indicate that the iPhone 16 is actually easier to repair. This is good news for consumers, independent repair shops, and the environment.

    You can use a 9-volt battery to remove adhesive and they’ve added more support for Face-ID when replacing the LIDAR sensor.

    We still have a long way to go for our right to repair but, the pressure that we put on companies and governments to make change is working. We should celebrate that.











  • Thanks. That’s something I hadn’t thought of.

    I’m sort of more moderate when it comes to paying Google to access YouTube. I’m happy to pay for products that I use. I want Google and creators to be rewarded for services rendered, but the prices are double what they should be.

    I’m one of the people who used the VPN to get Premium at an affordable rate even though I have Ublock and know about other options.

    My Premium account did get canceled. I was able to sign back up via another location, but if they push me out again, I would just revert to adblockers.

    I suspect other users who signed up with a VPN are like me. We are the few who know how to get around the ads but want to pay, if we can. Just a guess though.







  • I was going through my YouTube subscriptions on an account that’s been active since 2010ish. I didn’t recognize several accounts at all. They had deleted all their older videos and changed their account names.

    I found myself subscribed to things that I would never have subscribed to. Either I had done it accidentally or they changed their name and took their videos in a different direction.

    It’s a bummer because there are some old videos that were pretty funny/creative and now they are just gone.
