PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
In Japan they have an IR beacon system to track traffic congestion which works anonymously and lets offline car navigation systems have good-quality traffic info.
Great info so that's why non popular japaneese car app is working great for him
-
A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.
Fair enough, but I was saying in the "this should become common practice" sense. I don't think anyone can just post there since it's owned by the creators, so you have to join them, it's a package deal.

This post did not contain any content.
No, stop, come back...
-
My own domain?!? Any suggestions??
Furrysmurfporn.ai is available
-
No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from
I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain
I stopped doing it because I kept getting rejections from Microsoft from my property manager and some other important stuff. Drove me nuts.
-
Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don't really recommend it.
Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.
I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.
Edit: I’m guessing it’s easier nowadays but I still carry that pain lol

My wife was a PewDiePie fan from before the slur incident so I've loosely seen some of his content over the years. He's apologized multiple times, and he's shifted his style significantly multiple times since then.
Basically in the last few years he's grown up a ton. He married his girlfriend of a decade or more after earlier refusing marriage, had a baby, emigrated to Japan and now posts tons of creative and day-in-the-life style vlogs
Didn't he stream a dead body in a Japanese suicide forest shortly after moving to Japan?

Where would be a general purpose place to use as the second platform? Something that's easy to use (and ofc not even more immoral than youtube, so not rumble or things like that).
Peertube would be my choice, thanks to p2p one won't burden an instance if a video gets too popular. Just found a nice interface to find a good instance as a videomaker depending on topic, requirements, etc: https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker
As with the rest of the fediverse, autonomous institutions like universities should ideally have their own instance or join a collective. Embeds get the same p2p benefits and they seem super easy to implement

actually for big youtubers, ad revenue from google isn’t all that huge afaik. i’m going only on the LMG breakdown they did, but they only get 26% of their revenue from adsense… that’s no tiny share of course, but i wouldn’t call it completely catastrophic to loose
you would have to factor in the amount of traffic that exposure from youtube gets them for those other monetary functions to get a real sense of how valuable it is to be or not be on that platform. Definitely feel like ethics should always come into play though and a lot of creators are branching out with hosting themselves or patreon/etc.

They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.
I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.
They come in as high as 512gb and 1tb. I agree that they should have microSD slots, but the builtin storage options are sufficient.
-
Articles too much time too, so I made you this
- Google bad, tracking sucks
- Android -> graphene
- Keep -> joplin
- Docs -> nextcloud
- Gmail -> proton
- GMaps -> car GPS
- Tailscale
- Selfhosted on SteamDeck
- Gmail -> proton
I recommend Tuta over Proton. They're much more focused on their core product (not making their own crypto wallet or VPN or storage service or password manager), plus Tuta's leadership has never endorsed US Republicans, unlike Proton's
-
How can he be done with Google and still posting YouTube videos?
-
He was never right wing in the first place
He did some edgy stuff in the past, but he is not Tucker Carlson or anything.
-
Since when was he about that right wing shit ?
wrote last edited by [email protected]He paid some dudes on Fiver to hold up "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong" signs.
EDIT: Sorry I looked it up out of boredom and it was actually "death to all jews" signs.
-
“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with
MONEY 
Hey, it could be stolen.
-
What do the other two do better?
wrote last edited by [email protected]Lineage OS is a fairly generic ROM based on AOSP so it supports the most devices
Calyx OS is a privacy focused ROM without all the Graphene OS BS. The Graphene OS team and community are quite toxic and have a "my way or the highway" mentality. They don't support MicroG and focus more on security than privacy and freedom.
-
No, stop, come back...
- Google, 2025
-
GMaps -> car GPS
What? No. OSM or literally anything else than a fucking car. Stars and sextant.
Organic maps rocks
-
Investigate CoMaps... There's some drama around Organic Maps due to bad leadership
It is up to you
Personally I don't see anything wrong
-
Because traffic data can't be obtained without some tracking...
I think it would be cool to do some sort of p2p network
