I switched to Nebula its affordable and has lots of interesting content from YouTubers I most often watched. Their business is sustainable, pays the creators fairly and has no ads or recommendation algorithm.

I've also tried out Odyssey and had the same issues with it. There was one or two channels I would actually watch, but I think the crypto stuff attracts a certain libertarian type. I don't think it's sustainable long term.

No nonsense from my glass containers. Glass is non-reactive so you can really put anything in it without issues. Acid (like tomatoes) tend to take on a metallic flavour from metal containers like stainless, and plastic can melt if your not careful.

To Spotify's credit, when I cancelled, I forgot and did it 2 days after it renewed and asked customer service for a refund. They did it no questions asked

I just cancelled Spotify and switched to Tidal a few months ago exactly because of shenanigans like this. I was getting popups to look at recommended eBooks that I had to buy.

That was it for me and I cancelled immediately. Between the ads and the countless bugs and issues I had while using their app, glad I made the change. Been a premium member with Spotify for almost 10 years.

Austrian? I think you mean Australian there mate! Trucks are much heavier, UTEs are what you Yankees call "trucks". It's a UTE because it's a utility vehicle and used by tradies and farmers and the like.

At least in the US, zoning laws and parking minimums have really restricted the ability of cities to build more housing in high demand areas. Look at how much space is wasted just for surface parking lots in downtown Denver, Houston, Austin, etc... Name almost any bigger city and soooo much valuable land is wasted on cars.

I also agree that real estate should not be used as an investment. If there was more restrictions around owning property in cities, that would certainly help. AirBnB/short term rentals are definitely not helping and should be heavily regulated/taxed.

I'm stealing that word now "scteenshat" works well in this context

I put it on S3 Glacier. It's really really cheap to store. $1/TB. But I also have multiple copies locally

And this is why I backup all the torrents I download. If I lose the drive, they might not be seeded anymore and I won't be able to re-download everything. There's stuff in my collection that was hard to find 5 years ago.

No comments, likes or dislikes or playlists. No recommendation algorithm, just a nice simple video streaming platform with no ads

I switched to Nebula as most of the YouTubers I watched most are on there. NewPipe for the few that aren't. Now I'm spending the time I used to waste watching YouTube contributing to openstreetmap.
