Had some issues a few days ago. Then the brave army of Brave browser helped quickly. The other browsers should be ok now too with addons. I do not see any problem with videos any more. Still, the dependance on Youtube is terrible, most of the vids are there and there is no serious alternative. One day, hopefully, there will be. Maybe we need to pivot and someone should come with something very new, unrestricted, moderated by community, unstoppable and with no ads. When you do not pay or do not use add blockers, watching anything is almost impossible.
- Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead 16 hours ago:
Stopping the childern from using tech is not wise. As well stopping the children from using pen and paper is not a good idea. We live in this century, both is needed. By using paper and pen kids learn much more than just writing itself. Also the style of letters they write matters a lot. Most of the poeple can write just characters that look like from a printed book. You can check the studies to read what that does to your brain.
- Comment on The EU Moves To Kill Infinite Scrolling 17 hours ago:
I do not argue the infinite scrolling is good or bad. I am against the regulation itself. Who are the people that want to tell me which tech solution I am allowed to use or implement? Mostly I am not a fan of big tech but people should take responsibility for their actions and stay free. The goverments are here to serve and I do not pay for this service. Who are those that need to be protected from themselves by governmental authorities? Children, ok. People with damaged brain, ok. But otherwise? Give me a break.
