If I had been abusive in any way I would agree with you. This is the point I am making. Something or someone is flagging me despite the lack of actually commenting.
a) I wasnt banned, I closed the last account down myself as it was locked up. b) how have I been an “asshole”? Its a whole new account I’ve not even spoken to anyone through it yet.
Having talked to a Doctor friend about this he suggests the only safe way to deal with it is to draw blood, to dispose of it, and let the body recover. He had some concern that some of the plastic was as small as blood cells and platelets so might be too hard to filter out. But I guess research will look at that.
So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work....
In the UK in the 1960s the Government fabricated “evidence” about train use so they could cut about 70% of the railways and sell the land on. It was known as the Beeching Report iirc.
What we need is guerrilla solar and wind feeding the grid. Fuck the energy companies and their fossil fuels.
I look at every lamp post here in the UK and wonder why they dont have solar like this up there. It wouldnt be too hard to install micro renewables, 100w of solar is pretty small. 200w of wind is a little bigger. But over the course of a day it would generate >1kwh of extra energy.
Then there are what are called vampire devices. I do wonder how many people turn off their TV, microwave, computer when they’re not using it? They may be up to 10w each, and on their own it doesnt seem like a problem. But when you add every phone charger, and other device thats left on standby into the equation, from all of a country even as small as the UK we’re talking Megawatts of wasted resources. Every day. I’ve lost the link now, but a couple of newspapers did surveys and found most people left devices like this.
Point I was making is that vampire devices have a cumulative effect over a population. Yes, you personally are not much energy, but add it up over the population and its still unneeded carbon into the atmosphere. Yeah it wont save us money, but its something along the way to a bigger effort (eg mixing with walking or cycling instead of driving).
No. We have to do both. Absolutely industry has to decarbonise - but its a hell of a lot easier to deal with the small contributors to atmospheric carbon, and rather negligent to avoid doing these things ourselves. We as individuals still add up to 25% of carbon across the world. Our driving, our devices, the food and things we buy and consume… And yes it is hard.
I’d still have them on roofing. Might just be easy to deal with a council and expand the system across a town or city. On homes people tend to have to buy the panels themselves (£8-20k for a system), then they individually have to negotiate with their energy supplier - who can deny them the option of connecting to grid.
Aint there been a load of questions about PETA and the way they personally treat animals? Like putting down healthy animals. Also mocking up/faking photos.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
Netflix is bringing ads to paying customers. Lets not assume Youtube will be ad free if you pay, because the whole business model is shifting away.
Regards the history thing, YT/google dont actually need that. They have their own register of users and histories. Not sure why they need to tell you to “switch it on” unless you’re actually consenting to something else? Third party tracking, perhaps?
A lot of users are switching to sites like LBRY and Odysee, even Rumble. I’ve been using Odysee to watch stuff lately.
I’ve been pushing every app company I use to go linux. I feel that Ubintu and Munt are far superior OS’s. They just need more music, video and art editors to support it.
TBH I have no idea beyond sending the company an email and asking. I used to put out polls to users and tag in the company asking if people would use it on linux, not many maybe one of two.
I got permabanned on there after a mod took a “liking” to me over a pretty innocuous comment about a guitar pedal… something like “I dont need that pedal because I have X and it does the same thing”. Faceache followed me around other subs trying to stir shit up with other mods. A couple messaged me to say “we dont want drama, can you stop?” as I hadnt realised he was doing it until then. Others just took it at face value and about a week later I had the above message pretty much word for word.

Dont come crying when you’re locked out of your accounts. Youtube is clearly coming for you.
