I’d be more worried to put something with a battery in an environment of like 200 degrees Celsius. I hope I’m just wrong … but to me that sounds like fire

So they WANT you to move to your own nextcloud space.

Should be. As far as I know they are. But nobody seems to care…

So these assh… are going to pay the wasted data from metered connections? they’ll pay me money? they can also guarantee that malware is not spread anymore via ad networks? sure sure.

I think streaming makes music a “throwaway” product.

I well and fondly remember when a new album of my favorite band came out and I met friends at the music store to listen and buy it from my saved pocket money. And I still habe most of these albums… and I still listen to them… all though they live on my music players hdd permanently

It definitely does yea. I haven’t been on plebbit outside of a random search result for something I could not find otherwise.

As much as I hate to say it, the “migration” wasn’t as large as some people would have thoughts it’s going to be. Hoomans. Stoopid hoomans.

Without a doubt “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”.

Well… there we go :)

Didn’t plebbit suffer from the same issue in the beginning? As far as I remember it kind of self-resolved itself back then an people migrating from /whatever to /thisIsTheBiggerWhatever.

I guess it could be handy to encourage mods to keep an eye on it and at some point have their community vote\decide if they want to “merge” or something.

I’m not questioning what’s right and wrong or if this even changes someone’s opinion.

It’s merely a technical approach that can somewhat work until it’s filled up with the same crap again in a few weeks.

The person got there once - it’ll likely happen again. But combining this with conversation and actual facts, can be a start.

It’s not going to be easy. most likely she’ll be exposed to this shit elsewhere too, not only on youtube. fully reset the browser in ANY case. delete history, cookies, everything.

besides that, I see multiple options. you can consider them all or in various combinations

• completely block youtube (for example via hosts)

• new account

• unsubscribe from everything

• reset/delete watch history

• https://myadcenter.google.com/personalizationoff?hl=en

  • disable personalized adds
  • from there go to the “my activiy”
  • https://myactivity.google.com/page?page=my_ad_center_preferences&pli=1
  • delete all

• enable restricted mode (essentially making it a kids account)

• change location/region of the account

• go here: https://myaccount.google.com/u/0/yourdata/youtube?hl=en&pli=1

  • disable watch history
  • disable search history

I do take a lot of photos with my DSLR. I used to use Lightroom when it was a one time purchase software and kept everything in there. But the days of good photo-management software are over as it seems.

Now I’m using a folder structure that works for me

Year > Month > Date (or range of date) In each Date(or range) I have a “RAW” folder for the raw un-edited originals and an “iPhone” folder for my phone pictures in case I took some. I actually keep the original file name of my camera for all photos.

If it’s a particular event I sometimes add a some kind of diary textfile in markdown in that particular folder. This can be in the “month” folder if I’m on a trip for 3-4 weeks, or just for a day, if I’m … let’s say on an exhibition.

It sounds clunky and probably is, but it works for me. It’s OS agnostic, (I work on mac os and linux machines at home) it’s easy to create backups or copies and move stuff around. All is stored on a big 8TB harddrive and I have several copies of it. (No cloud)
