It's also kinda dodgy what YouTube considers "viewing" a video. 3 seconds of autoplay? You viewed it. Misclick an ad trying to skip? Viewed it. AndroidTV previewed the video when you left it highlighted for too long? You guessed it, viewed.

Fortunately figuring out what it considers you to have viewed is pretty straightforward: if it's in your watch history it considers it viewed. You can also go through that and manually purge things.

Of course there's still the question of why YouTube will so consistently recommend videos that get people started down this downhill slide of absolute dogshit atrocious content.

The Sega CDX. I had a Genesis, I had a Sega CD, but the thought of having both of those systems combined into one compact unit that also could be used as a discman (a really bad one, even I knew that at the time) was so appealing to me. There was one at the local game store for some absurd price ($350 I think) for literally years, and I would salivate over it every time I went in the store.

Ultimately I never got one, but at least I didn't miss out on any games or anything.

Hadn't even considered this, but I think you're onto something. Even if it's not the main goal, that could definitely have factored into the decision.

He's living proof that being a regressive incel troglodyte isn't limited to people who are ugly.

Well, ugly on the outside anyway. Much like beauty, true ugliness comes from inside, and that man has an inner ugliness that cannot be denied. He can do all the reps he wants and he'll still come across like someone who shouldn't be allowed within 1000 feet of a school.

I bought a nice shower seat for my spouse several years back so she didn't have to balance awkwardly on one foot to wash the other. I've used it on occasion when I'm not feeling super great and oh damn does it make a the shower that much more relaxing, at least if I can get the showerhead aimed so I'm not being pelted in the face.

As much as he pissed people off I did like Sal Bundry using every opportunity to talk about his 5 touchdowns in a single game.

That really felt like the kind of question someone would ask only if they're lactose intolerant. "Load up on cheese before you go camping so you don't have to poo" is pretty common wisdom.

Removing downvotes does not improve the experience other than giving the illusion that nobody disagrees with anyone else. Unless your instance has some very weird need to maintain a false sense of positivity, downvotes should be enabled.

Ah yes, The Intercept, founded by blatant Russian propagandist and "Ukraine had biolabs" conspiracy promoter Glenn Greenwald. Surely this article is unbiased and not at all misleading.

It's an alternate app store primarily for FOSS software, including a lot of stuff that you can't find on the Play store. It's very well vetted and there's zero reason not to use it.

If you want a more specific example of something worth getting on F-Droid, there are several adblockers which work significantly better than anything you'll find on the Play Store, simply because the Play Store largely prohibits apps which directly affect the operation of other apps.

Wow, didn't figure they'd go so blatantly mask off this early on. They must be nervous.

Also dumb. Have they never dealt with pirates before? Cut off one head and two more grow to replace it. Good luck you shmucks.
