I use both of them everyday. I'm using one of them right now.

Haven't had that issue.

You're on Android use NewPipe and it's forks, personally I prefer Tubular and PipePipe.

Periodically YouTube will break, but both of those forks, as well as new pipe prime, update fairly quickly.

GrayJay is interesting... It has different feel and feature set than newpipe, but it's worth using. I will say I get more login errors with GrayJay, but closing the app and reopening it resolves them immediately.

All the piped apps will be in f-droid/droidify, you can download GrayJay directly, or just scan the QR to add the repo to a FOSS repo manager.

I believe Tails already supports I2P, you just have to enable it in the terminal and reboot.

I don't know who this developer is, maybe they are well-known and well regarded.

I just know that for an OS, better to be safe than sorry and go with and established and well respected project such as Tails IMO.

Not trying discourage users from trying it, just that they should be mindful of the risks and adjust their behavior accordingly.

Unless there's a way to secure public funding for them, this seems like a reasonable middle road.

Like Patreon, which while having its own unique set of problems, enables a paid content distribution ecosystem for independent creators unlike anything else available.

So, absent inserting invasive advertising, and lacking public funds, I can't see how else they're supposed to maintain infrastructure and development costs.

Or because it was terrible, and also very expensive.

It's amazing how these articles always mention review bombing, but they never mention that there's also active campaigns of review fluffing, from paid, and otherwise influenced, shills.

Disney has been making bad Star wars for years now, and it's not sexist, ironic, racist, conservative, liberal, or contrarian, to point that out. This show, like most Disney Star Wars productions, sucked. It was bad.

Mandalorian season 1 was great, and so was Andor. It's not like fans don't want to, or can't see, when good projects emerge. But those shows are the exception, not the rule.

The weirdest thing to me, as someone who read a lot of the Star Wars books as a kid, is there is so much good material to adapt, but they insist on getting showrunners who clearly don't like Star Wars, or the established lore.

It feels like they resent having to work on a franchise, which I can understand, so instead of embracing the developed world, they want to make it their "own" by breaking the conventions, established rules, and existing canon.

I know that often gets blamed on their political views, but I think it's just as much a reaction to creatives finding most opportunities are just working within someone else's creation.

Still, even if I can empathize on why they might be rebelling, it still doesn't make for an enjoyable viewing experience. The show suck, the next show will probably also suck, but much like the MCU, I haven't cared in years, even if I'm still open to being surprised.

Your list of semi non-perishable foods does need some caveats about storage, because most of those things can go bad, depending on how they were stored.

Frozen meat can spoil, as not all bacterial growth stops, some just slows down a whole lot. So if Grandma threw in a store plastic wrapped tray of chicken quarters, after being in the fridge for 3 days, and now it's 8 years later, those might not be safe for human consumption.

Stuff that was vacuum sealed, much more likely to last the long haul in the freezer, if done properly.

Long-term stored grain, when not in vacuum sealed or other airtight containers, can develop molds or other bacterial contaminations.

Improperly stored vinegar, if you try to use it...it will ruin your salad dressing, and taste like shit. But it's pretty easy to see if vinegar has gone ick.

Can't say I've ever seen moldy or spoiled vinegar, but I've seen the type of kitchens that would be capable of making it happen in a long enough time frame.

I've also never seen bad dry storage pasta or beans, but I imagine they carry the same long-term storage concerns as grains, even if they're probably a bit more durable.

How are you not able to see what I'm talking about...?

Maybe start by reading that article I linked, and there's plenty more if you need more evidence.

So, doesn't seem unreasonable that the Democratic leaning TV network wouldn't want to remind their voters that Biden isn't doing that much different in regards to his immigration and border policies.

Edit: Pretty lame to come at me, go ham after I reply, and then instead of editing your wildin out response to say, "oh my bad, I see it now", you just delete it instead.

Aging for whiskey and scotch is done in specialized wood barrels with specific environmental conditions, not in the bottle.

If the hard booze bottles been opened for a long time, it's always possible some evaporation, or other slight changes have occurred that may impact taste, but still perfectly safe. Assuming it's 80 proof and up.

Throw out open wines if you're not comfortable determining if they're still consumable and not spoiled.

TLDR: Toss opened bottles of wine, but any hard liquor should be safe, even if it taste is degraded.

Nah, I'm with you, except I use BitWarden.

There are somethings either worth paying someone else to host, or where you trust a 3rd party more than you're own setup. I realize other users may feel different, but ultimately it's a judgement call

BW has been a pretty great opensource company, and it's worth my $10/yr for premium.

Does anyone buy this story?

Do we think maybe it has more to do with reminding Democratic voters that Biden's immigration and border policies aren't that much different..?

I mean, as funny as the headline is, put me in the skeptical column for the time being.

"no sex crimes should be investigated until the Catholic Church and Hollywood have been purged of pedophiles"

Well, that's certainly an opinion.

Strawman, strawman, strawman.

Even when I reiterate that we're not talking about passive consumption of media, but active participation in something else entirely, you can't help but ignore that, and continue lobbing out fallacy after fallacy.

Maybe you should reread my original comments, and see why your comments have been so pointless, bordering on disingenuous.

You're really going to great lengths to ignore what I've been saying, and instead responding to whatever strawman you find most convenient.

Now you've moved onto, "why should police investigate pedophiles, when they are the real pedophiles. In fact, the pedophile fantasy users of the site should be investigating the police".

I mean, do you even hear yourself?

80% of the world shares their pedophile fantasies with shoddy AI LLM porn sites...?

No, I am saying that sharing fantasies about underage children with a shady and poorly designed AI porn site, shows a serious lack of judgement and impulse control.

For that reason, yeah, they probably deserve having a quick review of their life to make sure that's the only poor choice they've made in regards to that particular fantasy.

And they weren't just reading, they were prompting the LLM model to generate these specific fantasies. They didn't just come across a fucked up website and read a few forum posts.

This is a weird one, because while fantasy is fantasy, and doesn't necessarily indicate an intention to act on anything, these people were dumb enough to share these specific fantasies with some random AI porn site. That's got to be an indicator of poor impulse control, right?

That alone should probably warrant immediate FBI background checks, or whatever relevant agencies have jurisdiction for these types of criminal investigations in each user's locality.

Of course, I am saying it's without actually having read any of the chats. So it's possible my opinion would change from "this should be investigated", to summary executions and burn the bodies for good measure... but no way I'm reading those fucking chats.

I was referring to it's chemical makeup i.e. it's a cheese-like product, not cheese product.
