baseball killed my grandma, ok?

I'm all about critical hope :)

That SHOULD be it, as it does make it go away.. but it seems to be tied to a cookie, for some reason. It's not an actual account setting, so whenever I open my browser (which is set to clear cookies on every close), it pops back up. Interesting! I think I can accept that this is my fault now haha

I mean this thing that lives on the right side of the UI. I have my feeds locked down to just Following, which works great.

I know a guy who runs a forum!

This was an early validation render, I had the same texture on them all haha. Don't worry, that's been corrected

To try to make up for the bad vibes, here's a preview of the video coming next month. Don't worry, this video is gonna make you feel good. No fear mongering here, just the way I like it.

As always, be kind and patient.

Remember, Spotify BARELY turns a profit. We can actually take them down if you STOP GIVING THEM MONEY. This could be a slam dunk example that showcases that boycotts DO work, but YOU gotta put in the effort by reading this handy guide: support.spotify.com/us/article/c...

Nah, do it the safe way, yt-dlp or something similar.

* something something piracy is technically a crime so make sure you don't do anything that'll get you caught. See my video on VPNs (not sponsored, screw sponsors)

Right, but I'd like to see that spelled out in the actual privacy policy, you know? Like some privacy policies of companies with actually problematic data practices show exactly where the data goes, for example, Eight Sleep: www.iubenda.com/privacy-poli...

For an app that is so hyper-focused on privacy, it's bugged me that they've avoided transparency on these third parties for a while now. There's an argument to be made that it puts those third parties at risk of breaches, but how can we agree to their privacy policies if we don't know who they are?

"We work with third parties to provide some of our Services. For example, our Third-Party Providers send a verification code to your phone number when you register for our Services. These providers are bound by their Privacy Policies to safeguard that information."

I really wish someone was working on an hour long video about how to make AI optional... Oh well, a man can dream.
