Well I wasn’t planning on immediately letting you know I like retro electronics, but have at it

That’s a pretty good video though.

No financial stability based on the lego one. :D

I watched the sub one already, great recommendation to lose some minutes of time on

I got a new Raycevick video and Engineering Explained video about F1. I am happy with this

LainTrain ,

I don’t watch YouTube on mobile, this app is an ancient Vanced version that doesn’t even work, and newpipe hasn’t worked for me recently either. If there is a YT vid I absolutely have to watch on mobile I rawdog it in Firefox with ubp

YT App patched with revanced still works for me, and the app uses less battery for me than the browser version. Privacy wise, the browser is presumably better, though.

My home page looks the same either way, though.

needanke ,

Newpipe has hat two major fixes to account for yt changing the way it served videos. Wasn’t working for a few weeks for me either but since 1-2 weeks ago it’s reliably working again. So, maybe try and update to the newest version now to check if it works again if you are interested in using it.

I was once told watching Skallagrim videos was a red flag “because anyone who likes LARP shit is obviously a red hat”

Go watch any of his videos and let me know how much of a red hat he is.

Now shad on the other hand…

Someone asking to see my YouTube recommendations is a good test for red flags, too. I’m not interested in a relationship with someone who will judge me based on an algorithm.

lightnsfw ,

The algorithm sucks anyway. I have to clear my cookies every couple days because all my recommendations starts to turn into weird manosphere stuff and DBZ videos. Sprinkled with a small amount of shit from channels I have watched recently.

My red flag would be telling her “fuck off creepy stranger”

PhlubbaDubba ,

Not even the wackiest scenario he’s done.

Bro legit took this one incredibly seriously and talked about the consequences of having to explain sudden freak accident deaths to pre-schoolers and how conspiracy theories would proliferate about Reagan being responsible because supposedly he had pushed for the launch to stay on schedule even when issues came up because the plan was for him to make s phone call to the crew of the ship from the SotU address that year.

Basically Reagan would go down in pop culture canon as being the man who murdered big bird, and whatever consequences that sprung from that would be the biggest shift vs present timeline instead of the obvious fact that big bird would be canonically dead since all the normal viewers would have seen him go up in a fireball and die.

Varyk ,

Nah he’s a bird,he could fly on outta there. A little singed, maybe, if he dawdled

baldingpudenda ,

Allegedly, he screamed “wildcard, bitches” before kicking the door and jumping out.

Varyk ,

Classic Big Bird

JohnDClay ,

Looks like a green flag to me! Fun vid.

My red flag would be showing them NewPipe, with recommendations turned completely off.

SomethingBurger ,

And subscriptions using RSS feeds instead of a YouTube account.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Guilty.

Having no actual presence on social media is considered “creepy” by modern social standards, instead of what I view it as: more secure.

FederatedSaint ,

Having no actual presence on social media

I’ve got some bad news for you…

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I meant no actual presence on mainstream social media where I’m not using a pseudonym, and exchange profiles with the general public that I meet.

FoxyGrandpa ,

If that’s considered creepy then I’m john wayne gacy

hydration9806 ,

I’ve had the opposite response. Generally I get a “good on ya, I should really delete it too”

jubilationtcornpone ,

I find avoiding social media helps reduce encounters with the insane side of people who somehow appear to be relatively normal in real life.

For instance, I actually like my inlaws in real life, despite having some very different views than they do. On Facebook however, they’re complete fucking idiots that I wouldn’t give the time of day because they would just argue with me about it.

@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

It’s odd how that proxy allows people to act feral.

Though I’ll admit to trolling a little bit here and there, so maybe I’m not the best example.

scrion ,

They ask for your search history then

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

My browser clears private data at the end of every session.

scrion ,

Same, but you were talking about NewPipe. I assume you use that on your phone.

And while you can disable the search history there, too, it often is convenient not to have to type the name of that thing you want to listen to while you’re driving, so many people leave it enabled.

wesker ,
@wesker@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

I just leverage playlists or bookmarks, typically. But while driving, I play my FLAC library off a thumbdrive.

Or switching profiles in GrapheneOS so I can look at my Google apps

The brain rotted mind doesn’t understand the lack of an infinite pit of o-face reaction videos to pick from.
