@joel I agree Newpipe can be a hassle. According to the link below the maintainers have trouble updating and rewriting the code due to lack of resources (unfortunately a common problem in FLOSS development). Having said that I'm currently using the recently released 27.0 by enabling beta releases in F-Droid and it works fine for me.
@joel@dm i only use newpipe on my phone. It's frustrating sometimes when it breaks, but I have to remember it's a small team fighting Google's antics and that maybe I don't need to be on YouTube at that moment anyways.
When many people think of #Phoenix, they think of endless suburban sprawl. And, certainly, that’s part of the story. But here’s something that many are surprised to learn:
Four of the five largest city parks are located in metro Phoenix
"It has a nice side-effect of being a public declaration of priorities. It’s a good link to give people when saying no to invitations and distractions."
(Noting for the idea although not sure how often most would keep this up).
Unsurprising, but good to have explicitly laid out:
"The overall effect of looking at my Substack dashboard is 'wow, Substack is really getting me an audience! If I leave Substack, half of my subscription channel will dry up.' It’s clear that this is the impression other writers, the media, and investors are getting as well, because they praise Substack about it all the time."
I already don't like Substack and massively prefer reading things on the writer's own website, and this kind of manipulation to keep people there just confirms my dislike

@adamsdesk I just updated the note 😄. Though it doesn't seem like Bowser makes an appearance in either of those games. I'm sure i'm still missing some though…
Love that styling external links is becoming more of a thing! :)
The « preview on hover » thing is something I have enabled on Wikipedia a real long time ago and I can't browse that site without it anymore… but I never thought of doing it on my own blog. Hmm… maybe this should be one of my future projects.
I have now installed the Openheart protocol to my blog, which means you can click the little heart emoji and it will make me happy. (Nothing else.)
Huge thanks to Tracy for her step-by-step tutorial, I only had to find where to put the code snippet in my theme (which is very different from hers) but everything else was incredibly simple!
presenting an archive of vitriol, negativity, and embarrassment circa 2008; it's fascinating to see my thoughts from so long ago. #livejournal#blogging
The search for a slim, fast and modern browser might have come to an end. Ungoogled-chromium feels just like what I want. Even better than Vivaldi. But the setup process is a bit more nerdy.
