Thanks I’ll give it a go!

I can’t speak on behalf of him, but all my old CD-ROM games from the late 90’s and early 2000s don’t work on Linux, even with Wine. I’d love to get them working one day, so I’m watching this thread

Basically, spying is one of YouTube’s most egregious problems, and one of the biggest reasons people like me want valid competition for it, and one of the biggest selling points of smaller competition like Peertube and Glomble. I don’t see Bilibili offering that, but just the competition itself might give YouTube the kick up the arse it needs to respect its users.

I’m kidding myself, at this point it feels like YouTube would keep abusing its userbase even if it wasn’t profitable, just for the sheer fun of it, but in an ideal world, this would solve a lot of problems.

I’ve heard of Billibilli. It’s great for pirated films and TV shows that you can’t get anywhere else.

I don’t really trust it to be much better at respecting privacy than YouTube, but at this point, I’d be surprised if it was any worse, and YouTube has been getting worse for lack of competition for over a decade now

I didn’t actually know that - would there be any difficulties with different air nozzle shapes? I know my bike has a different air nozzle shape to my friend’s bike.

That’s good! I try to only drive once a week to stop my car from rusting on the inside, but my eventual goal would be to go into entirely cycling and public transport!

I refuse to pump my car tyres from petrol stations anymore because all the ones in my local area have started charging exorbitant prices. It always used to be free with petrol, then a few years ago it became 20p, but now it’s randomly shot up to £1.50. WHY??

You can buy devices that pump your car tyres up for you too. They tend not to last very long, so they’re not exactly “one time” purchases, but they’re far more cost effective than doing it at stations nowadays.!

Pretty recently I stopped watching Oneyplays. They were a Let’s Play/comedy channel in the same vain as Game Grumps and TheRunawayGuys, and they got me through some really hard times including COVID.

They were always kind of risque, but I assumed they knew their jokes were edgy, and not to be said in the real world. (to be fair, that is true with a lot of the old members)

For the last year or two though, most of the best members have left or aren’t on half as much as they used to be, and they’ve been doubling down on their controversial jokes. Everything’s “cuck this, soy that, estrogen the other” and half the “jokes” are just homophobic and racial slurs that they have to censor out afterwards. Even if you have a thick skin to that kind of stuff, it’s just so repetitive and unfunny now.
