YouTube Music ReVanced is best, because it’s both free and ad-free.

When did I say it looked photo real? Just that it looks like a realism filter
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
The unoptimized demonstration requires two 5090s, yes. Final version might be less demanding. Let me believe.

Exactly. This is a good use for AI.

Touché.
- Comment on “ChatGPT said this” Is Lazy 1 week ago:
too* dumb
- Comment on AI companies try to pay staff in AI tokens, not money 1 week ago:
They also need to be accepted for groceries and drugs.
- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 1 week ago:
This story makes no sense. Why would a dealer front merchandise? The only time that ever happens in real life is if the dealer is male, the buyer is female, and they find the dealer finds them attractive.
Also, which drugs?
Lastly, it’s extremely unlikely that a low-level dealer is going to seek “revenge” on a customer. They’re usually not gang members; just regular everyday people like you and me who are desperate to make soke extra cash.
You need to spend more time in the real world before you write a story about things that happen out there.
- Comment on Digg’s open beta shuts down after just two months, blaming AI bot spam 1 week ago:
I didn’t even know it relaunched. They should have advertised it better. I would have checked it out had I known it was coming back.
- Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US 1 week ago:
The nitrous oxide high lasts 60 seconds max; how are Uber drivers getting high on the stuff while driving unless they’re actively hitting the chargers while behind the wheel? Your comment makes no sense.
- Comment on Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit? 2 weeks ago:
Mullvad is the only VPN I trust. They proved themselves when they were raided and the feds got nothing.
- Comment on Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit? 2 weeks ago:
Mullvad FTW. They’ve already proven themselves when they were raided and the feds got nothing.

Yes, you can go fishing with just your bare hands if you’re skilled enough.
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 3 weeks ago:
The only reason I can think of is for the bonus content. When you pirate, you generally just get the movie/show and nothing else. No behind the scenes extras, no deleted scenes, no director’s commentary, etc. Even Blu Ray discs are often lacking in this category. DVDs were peak for special features.
- Comment on Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 day 4 weeks ago:
My main issue is losing YouTube ReVanced. I refuse to pay for Premium! Especially to one of the wealthiest companies in the world!
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 5 weeks ago:
It surely doesn’t help that YouTube has replaced broadcast TV for most people. You can’t even go back if you wanted to because TV is all but dead these days. Not unless you don’t mind 24-7/365 marathons of Ridiculousness on MTV, and nothing but reality TV and old shows catered to 80-year-olds on the remaining channels.
- Comment on YouTube adds new hurdles for ad blockers, and there's currently no way around it 5 weeks ago:
Ublock Lite works on Chrome. There are no custom filters and it doesn’t block a lot of annoyances, but it gets the job done for most people.
But honestly if you want have the most reliable adblocking experience, then Firefox w/Ublock Origin is still your best bet (also YouTube ReVanced for mobile and SmartTube/SmartTubeNext for TVs).
- Comment on Western Digital Has No More HDD Capacity Left, as CEO Reveals Massive AI Deals; Brace Yourself For Price Surges Ahead! 5 weeks ago:
Looks like somebody’s going to be buying hard drives with Affirm lol
- Comment on E-bikes are just bicycles with a motor. Therefore, e-bikes are motorcycles. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t remember pedaling my eBike, either. With a big enough motor, they’re all but completely vestigal.
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 5 weeks ago:
Yes and I hate them cause it’s a pain in the ass having to route all my drives around them. Some routes take me 3x as long as they should cause of that stupid privacy-invading bullshit.
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 5 weeks ago:
I honestly didn’t know what they were thinking with that commercial. Why would you proudly advertise that you’ve built a massive surveillance network, on one of the most-watched yearly televised events too for that matter? Did they seriously believe that there wouldn’t be a major backlash? I mean I appreciate the blunt honesty in that commercial so I’ll give them credit for that.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 1 month ago:
Is Matrix a self-hosted alternative to Discord? I’ve been looking for one but the closest I can find is RocketChat, which is meant more for corporate environments. I’m going to be launching a radio station for Lemmy soon and I need a suitable solution for chat platform that I can integrate with my website (and eventually app).
- Comment on Consumer hardware is no longer a priority for manufacturers 1 month ago:
Tell me about it. I also paid about the same for a 1070 back in 2016 and it lasted me all the way until 2022, when I finally decided to be a sucker and pony up the $1800 for a 4090 at launch. Which as insane as that is, I’m glad I did because now 4090s go for about $3K ***used! ***
If you didn’t buy a new GPU by mid 2023, you’re pretty much stuck with what you have for the foreseeable future, given how insane prices are now with no signs of slowing down.

Excellent; thanks for the heads up. I’ll avoid the drama and pirate any component that requires a licensing fee.

Yeah and I’m asking too to please don’t lol
- Comment on Nvidia might not have any new gaming GPUs in 2026 — and could be 'slashing production' of existing GeForce models 1 month ago:
I will when someone makes a GPU that can surpass a 4090. Not even Nvidia themselves can pull that off, so I’m not getting my hopes up. I’m going to me stuck with this GPU for the next decade the way things are going (not that I’m complaining. It’s a beast of a card, especially coming from someone who could only ever afford bargain bin parts until one day I came into a windfall. That was a fun 4 years.

Mullvad is safe. They were raided and the authorities got nothing.

Calm down, Doja Cat.
- Comment on The new Microsoft copilot key is impossible to properly remap. 1 month ago:
Leave it in HDR next time. As someone who owns an HDR monitor and a phone with an HDR display, there is simply not enough content out there outside of movies and games.

IDK I was able to remap it just fine using Power Toys.
