- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 2 days ago:
I’m fine with reasonable ads. Plex Live TV has ads that don’t always get caught by NextDNS for me and it’s always some local business and like 30 seconds, NBD it’s a free service and needs to operate somehow and I’m not aware of any major privacy breaches from Plex. I feel the same way about YT video sponsor segments, they don’t always get caught by ReVanced, also, NBD the creator also needs to get paid for their work.

I’m all for 3d printing things for myself, especially when they serve a purpose and not just a little display piece.

Also a few less features given I’m guessing it can’t store its own music and needs to be paired with the phone.

Not sure if just a typo, but RFK files, not JFK files. At least according to the Reddit post, maybe it was a typo there instead.

If I had to guess at motivation for war with China it would be that Putin sees China as a threat and would like to use the US to weaken them either before they attack or to prevent China from more closely focusing on Russia.

I like their first couple albums and they write extremely catchy songs, but their lyrics feel just a little too douchey for my taste. They’re a fantastic cover band though.
