over 50k flac’s perfectly sorted with MusicBrainz Picard. So used to it I don’t see any inconvenience

I’m using the Piped YT frontend on Firefox with uBlock and I’ve not once seen any add pop up. I don’t have a Google account but I added a bunch of rss-feeds to my Thunderbird, so I get a message when my favorite creators make a video. This way I’m not bothered by any stupid Google algorithm. Goes to show, YT is best consumed without an account.

I don’t agree, the best way would be to start using alternatives like lbry and/or peertube. These platforms are in a catch 22, creators won’t upload because there are no viewers, viewers won’t watch because there is little content. Every new viewer and/or creator on a YT-competitor has quite a big impact in the long run. This is a perfect moment in time to motivate people to boycot YT.

I’ve quit drinking coffee two weeks ago. I felt really numb for 8 days, and then I started to just feel normal again. Before I drank way too much coffee. Now I don’t know what to do, if I want to drink a little bit of tea every day or if I want to use caffeine just on an occasional basis trying to avoid any dependency. For now I’ll stick to 0 caffeine for a little longer and see how I feel. But I’d be curious to know other peoples experiences or advice.

LimeWire was terrible. Quickly switched to Soulseek and have been using it ever since. Actually Nicotine+, but that’s besides the point.
