The above.
My circle of family, friends and others will extend the list to music videos, health care (mental health and wellness, and for example), the shorts, movie trailers, even Hallmark movies.
There is no platform other than YouTube that combines all this crazy amount of content.
There’s PeerTube with notoriously difficult onboarding for the average user and limited content, there’s Loops with extremely limited content… I really wish it were different.
Maybe one day existing platforms will rise. Looking at you, VIMEO, Kick, DailyMotion, DTube…

Fine. Name alternatives for what YouTube is mostly used for.
We are talking vlogs on huge amounts of topics, product reviews and unboxings, reaction videos, how-to tutorials, gaming videos (walkthroughs, live streams, and etc.), ASMR and relaxation content, educational and explainer videos for science, history and finance… and so on.
There’s simply no true alternative.
- Comment on Windows 11 Finally Fixes "Update and Shut Down" Functionality After a Decade 1 week ago:
Even just a top bar would be great.
How could the taskbar regress so badly?
- Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like 2 weeks ago:
Guess what they look like on my 250 Dollar dumb fridge.
I can even keep my food chilled with it. Plus I can freeze stuff. Even has a light when I open the door. Super practical. You guys should come see it!
- Comment on $1,000 richer 3 weeks ago:
Sure. Not my fault that that person cannot appreciate true beauty. If they even want to pay for that lack of understanding, by all means, be my guest.
- Comment on The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds 3 weeks ago:
The headline is clickbait.
- Bricked = totally dead, no recovery without serious intervention; device is completely unusable
- Malfunctioning = buggy, slow, or misbehaving, but still fixable
- Comment on English moment 4 weeks ago:
You don’t. But it still has double meaning.
Good catch. It might not perfectly fit this list.
- Comment on English moment 4 weeks ago:
If anyone wants to know, such words are called heteronyms.
Had to look up other examplea. Turns out there’s a few of those. For example: tear, wind, row, sow, bound.
Class is over.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 4 weeks ago:
I am just not sure all my shit would run on Linux. Does Linux have a windows GUI? Do all the steam games have Linux compatability? Is there a Linux version of Windows Defender?
The GUI? Sure. Check out Zorin OS. Not to your liking?There’s others.
Steam? Mostly, yes. If you ja e a specific game in mind, a quick Internet search will answer that for you. In my case, 98% of games run (incl. most AAA games).
Good news: you don’t need anti virus on Linux. If you really want to, there’s decent options. But I yet have to encounter an infected Linux machine. Infected Windows machines, on the other hand, are easy to find. With Linux, your security will go up considerably, coming from Windows.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 4 weeks ago:
Sure, but you don’t have control. If Microsoft decides that you are not allowed to disable this any longer, you will be left with no true choice.
That’s what Google does with Android, bending everyone to their will, not caring how we feel about any of their policies.
Why would MS be different? Just look at the numerous features Windows 11 removed as compared to 10. Did they give me a choice? Or what about their promise that Windows 10 will be the last Windows? Or what about them forcing people to buy new hardware to run Windows 11?
Trying to disable this stuff ultimately just sugarcoats the ever growing frustrations of using a system that locks down further with every passing year.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 4 weeks ago:
What holds you back? Go for it now.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 4 weeks ago:
Not worth considering. Even if one can disable it now, we can’t teuat that they won’t disable that option eventually.
Just use Linux and these questions become “Oh no. Anyways…”.
- Comment on Being honest - same answer for me 1 month ago:
Seriously, everyone should floss at least one a day. Makes a huge difference. Brushing alone is simply not hygienic enough.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 1 month ago:
This is the way.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Is there unpaid subscriptions?
- Comment on How do I stop sleeping through everything? 1 month ago:
Maybe some deficiency? Get it checked out.
Do you routinely go to bed in time? Is your sleep environment right?
Do you suffer from depression or another disorder? Get help, if you can.
Possibly try to wake up according to your natural sleep cycle.
Are you on medication that could cause issues?
So many possibilities. A professional might be able to help best.
- Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency 2 months ago:
They also lock your (free) account if you don’t use it for six months. You have to start paying if you ever want that email address again (emails are lost AFAIK).
Happened to me after a serious illness. I don’t mind paying, but that soured it so badly for me.

- Comment on Always so loud 😒 2 months ago:
To be fair, no one should hold in their sneezes.
health.com/…/is-it-just-me-holding-in-sneeze-bad
Still, sneezing into a tissue (or at least the sleeve) is just good manners.
Explode away!
- Comment on Google Photos now lets you animate your camera roll with Veo 3 for free 2 months ago:
Sometimes I wish media organisations would report with the same hunger about every tiny, little unimportant feature in software I’m involved with.
Then again, it isn’t millions of people using my stuff.

Who wants such a girlfriend? Not a sustainable relationship.
