It’s a token so Youtube can track user groups. Basically, if Youtube can ID every user that clicks on that link, YouTube knows that those users share something in common. And if that link gets indexed by Google’s crawlers,Youtube also knows what those users have in common.

YouTube can map out friend groups, acquaintances, families and online groups.

I generally had not much exposure to Ethan, but I lost all respect for him after he rode his Vaush Horse meme into the ground. Nothing he did after that made me reconsider my stance towards him.

Is there any more evidence needed to show that Managers do not deserve the outrageous pay they’ve been getting?

While I absolutely support the move to free alternatives, I hope they donate at least a token-amount on money to those open source projects.

Really shows you how hard they sniff their own farts. As if the loose cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Union could hold a candle to the EU. Maybe in the field of raw resources, like oil. But it certainly isn’t a vote of confidence that Armenia is seeking closer integration with the EU.

I don’t get this setup. First you install a lot of sound proofing, then you install one fan that has to run near light speed to keep that computer cool.

I probably got banned for “propaganda”, because I dared link to the imperialist drag EUvsDisinfo disproving their claim that Ukraine suppressed the russian minority, ehich of course is more condemnable than just claiming stuff with no source whatsoever.

They wouldn’t know if you asked them, or rather, they would just tell you another lie. The truth is that there is very little to no ethnic difference between Ukrainians and Russians. The differences are cultural.

Because they don’t arrive at the correct conclusion through sound argumentation. They are anti-America, which often will lead you to the correct conclusion, but it will fail you as soon as America isn’t the big bad.

I have a password manager and hardware token. I see no need to use passkeys.

My F-Droid app has been able to bulk-update for two years now. Sometimes you have to trigger the update process manually, but the apps all get updated.

When you find an app, F-Droid 2.0 will make the installation process easier. Google has long put up roadblocks for sideloaded apps, citing the security implications. This is also the rationale behind its upcoming developer verification system. For now at least, apps will be easier to install from F-Droid thanks to the use of Google’s pre-approval API.

That answers my question if those smoother installs already account for Google’s insistence in making “sideloading” way more annoying. They do not.

You haven’t? I always check F-Droid first if I want a new app.

Because Ukraine was once a very conservative country.

Supported. Next, start a petition to criminalize politicians pushing the same crappy laws again and again in the hopes they at some point pass.

The european comission decided to not do anything. Right now there are efforts underway in the european parliament to force the commission’s hand and to attach the main point of the SKG campaign to legislature already in the works.
