It looks like there aren’t many great matches for your search
— and certainly none mentioning Newpipe 🤷

I used to make comics. I know that because strangers would look at my work and immediately share their most excruciatingly banal experiences with me:
— that time a motorised wheelchair cut in front of them in the line at the supermarket;
— when the dentist pulled the wrong tooth and they tried to get a discount;
— eating off an apple and finding half a worm in it;
every anecdote rounded of with a triumphant “You should make a comic about that!”
Then I would take my 300 pages graphic novel out of their hands, both of us knowing full well they weren’t going to buy it, and I’d smile politely, “Yeah, sure. Someday.”
“Don’t try to cheat me out of my royalties when you publish it,” they would guffaw and walk away to grant comics creator status onto their next victim.
Nowadays I make work that feels even more truly like comics to me than that almost twenty years old graphic novel. Collage-y, abstract stuff that breaks all the rules just begging to be broken. Linear narrative is ashes settling in my trails, montage stretched thin and warping in new, interesting directions.
I teach comics techniques at a university level based in my current work. I even make an infrequent podcast talking to other avantgarde artists about their work in the same field.
Still, sometimes at night my subconscious whispers the truth in my ear: Nobody ever insists I turn their inane bullshit nonevents into comics these days, and while I am a happier, more balanced person as a result of that, I guess that means I don’t make comics any longer after all.

5·3 days agoIt also has way more features, which might exain the extra resources. I’m sceptic but would love to proven wrong that Lemmy would fare any better with a bunch of FB-like features tacked on?
Calling in @jwr1@kbin.earth re possible domain block.
Cannot confirm, in my usage I have never encountered this. I use Newpipe almost daily and do not have a YT login.
Occasionally Google has done something (deliberately or coincidentally) to limit third party app access, but that’s usually worked around very quickly.
Defo go for F-droid! Dunno if it’s baked into Graphene but I use it almost exclusively on Android.
I also recommend Firefox/Fennec with the Web Archives add-on for viewing paywalled articles. You will be depending on others archiving the full version to read them, but with most larger outlets they will.
Context? Graphene related advice?
For Youtube w/o ads just use Newpipe, an open source, privacy aware, third party app. You’ll never need to log into Youtube again. And it’s not even piracy, even if Google might think differently 🙂
Oh, do educate me on my life choices based on an unrelated online comment, internet stranger 🙄
FWIW, I’m living my best life, rejecting influencers and enjoying a low- to no-drama fediverse. Anybody feeling bad for a Youtuber failing to peddle their bullshit to Mastodon can kindly get in the sea.
Have a nice day
Good, mission accomplished 👍
“Ghost town” = Not driven to oversharing by algorithms.
“getting shit” = nobody wanting to listen to a youtuber’s outrage bait.
It must be confusing to log into the fediverse straight off of Youtube, though. “Why aren’t people compulsively clicking and subscribing to everything? How am I not being recommended radicalising posts by conspiracy theorists and terror organisations within five clicks?”
“Honey, this is Mastodon”
<switches to Blooskie>
“Ah, much better!”
Interesting piece, didn’t know about iOS stealth apps, and the ages of the accused certainly makes the news stand out —
— but can we talk about that hilariously bad “AI” generated picture they chose to illustrate it? That disembodied hand left of centre holding up the “iPhone”?
WHO WAS PHONE? 😄
5·11 days agoI mean, I get the joke of using that expression in the context of a chat named after The matrix, but it’s an in-group jargon that mostly the terminally online will get.
LOL, you completely lost me at “rozzers”!
This whole argument seems to be constructed as a buildup to the strenuous pun about masons bricking stuff. Get it? Masons are bricklayers?
Even if it’s an elaborate joke and not a psychiatric issue — man, it needs work.
The Register failed in their due diligence by not clarifying from the beginning that this is a different Matrix chat than the open standard. They amended the mistake with an update to the post (quoted here in OP), but that is placed at the end of an article that not everybody is going to read all the way through.
IMHO this needs a rewrite to make clear from the outset that the Matrix protocol and matrix.org are not affiliated with the criminal chat service. As it stands, even with the correction, it looks like character assassination of a perfectly legal open source project.
No worries, The Register hid the clarification about the two different networks way down at the end, so it’s an easy mistake. I honestly think they need to put that note at the beginning to avoid confusion.

Read the linked article; this was a different network using the same name.
Let’s just consider what a decade in a landfill will do to a hard drive.
It’s not just a big pile of trash you could rummage through, according to the site manager
things that were sent to landfill three or four months ago could be three to five feet deep
So there is a good deal of waste on top eleven years later, which means
- the layers get compacted, things break, under the weight and pressure of heavy machinery crisscrossing the site.
- other waste gradually dissolves into who knows what kinds of chemicals. I can’t tell what kinds of waste exactly is deposited there, but clearly electronic parts among others.
We’re talking about a hard drive that was removed from the computer, so it only has a thin aluminium casing for protection. Chances are it’s crushed beyond recoverability.
Also, in 2013, this would have been a mechanical drive. Even in optimal circumstances, there are a bunch of ways they can fail, leading to data loss.
The spinning disk inside the casing is fairly fragile. One scratch on its surface could render it unreadable, as would, say, spilling a sugary drink into it, which our unfortunate bitcoiner already did. Now imagine the drive buried in an environment full of debris and potentially corrosive chemicals.
TL;DR — At this point, even if a major excavation was undertaken and the drive was located, there is barely a chance that any data would be retrievable from it.
It’s dead, Jim. Bitcoin man is chasing a dream long past its sell-by date.
Or just Google doing their best filter bubble. I don’t think they have any useable info on me any more, haven’t used their search for ages.
Either way, I’ll take your word for it and just thank my lucky star that I can continue to use Newpipe without problems.
