Spotify is nearing the cut point for me. Subbed since 2011. The UI is getting worse...

I'm all for this protection but for the sake of argument isn't use of the service consent to begin with? Or is that the American argument around these types of regulation?

I'm a pihole, vpn, adblock and invidious user ftr.. 😂

Neither. It's a sorta scummy experience overall with the few actors I've paid the money for. At least that's my experience. If they offer an selfie in the autograph line. That's probably the best experience out of the paid options...

For the official photos. Your rushed through. Actor or whoever doesn't care your there. Your meeting them for like 30 seconds. Sorta feel like your being taken for your money. ( no way?!?)Actor might say hi how are you? And then your out with an awkward photo.

My best experiences was interacting acting with them naturally by mere chance outside of the con. Or once I waited just for a free autograph with Matt Mercer and that was 200% worth it.

Pretty much the same, captain.

I work so much more efficiently at home. I'm mostly remote. Come in a couple days a month. The days I go in are trying to zone out all the office distractions. Also I have to use a hotel docking station setup that I will always have an problem with at least something about it. A sizeable portion of my day is just getting setup and into a work state. I work in software development with cloud platforms. Going into the office I know I'm gonna get fuck all done. Also the Internet is way worse on site.

However there is a few people on my team that do fuck all everyday. I keep hearing rumors that they are gonna make us come back. It's frustrating because you know the few ones that are taking advantage are gonna be an easy excuse for management to call us in.

if thats a problem, change your invidious instance freetube is pointed at. :) I had the same problem before.

Same. Haven't seen this yet. Not using an account. Using freetube on desktop, clipious on Android. Sometimes the web version with ublock default. Have a pi-hole but it hasn't blocked a YouTube ad since 2018 lol

Yeah the media should be ashamed of how that got out of control. It was one broken English quote from a random Israeli soldier without any fact checking.

Doing throwing knives and pistols. Having a blast. Reflex and Cool. With tech coming in 3rd. Throwing knives are a good mix of challenge and badassery one shots. Not following a build just having fun.

I am generally uninformed on this conflict beyond reading a a synopsis or history for the pass century or so this week, the agenda on either side seems pretty blatant from the media outlets. Now I haven't seen Israeli media directly but seeing what us centric media is reporting My god, I watched fox news and they were basically foaming at the mouth and showing the same clips and had a woman that would say the same thing every few hours trying to dehumanize the other side. I watched al Jazeera last night for a few hours and they frame the attack on Saturday as a counter attack (forever recursively correct) overlook what happened as much as possible and frame context to give it a morality pass and generally are trying to downplay how western media is reporting it.. I took a look at who owns al Jazeera, it's state run media from Qatar. We all know foxnews is basically ultra conservatives circle jerk. It's two sides slinging shit. However, al Jazeera seems to point out the lack of Israeli media allowing any western reporting of what's really happening in gaza which I 100% agree with. It's good to get perspective on either sides but to me both western and Arab centric outlets are obviously pushing their agendas.

I acknowledge my ignorance on the complexities on this issue and am only providing my take as someone trying to understand this issue from the woefully biased reporting surrounding this issue.

Try a different invidious instance. The one that it defaulted to might be overloaded. It's works great. I'm loving it.

Yep I'm very impressed with syncthing. I just started using it a few weeks ago.
