Christians have an utter landslide of reasons to believe the most outlandish of complete nonsense, but I’ve always been a fan of science, facts, and reality.
So I thank you. <3

Yes, I found it well-written but not all that enlightening. I recognise that it made sense for SpaceGhost/CheapSkate to build his sites out by hand in the true spirit of DIY, but that doesn’t seem too practical or advisable for most folks.
The various federated software & networks may have their weak points and inconsistencies, but far as I can tell it’s still best for volunteer site runners to work within that framework so as to remain connected to something bigger than just their little personal corner of the internet. Is it really so expensive a thing to federate? I seem to recall that some instances can host for only ~US$20, which doesn’t seem bad at all. Images are arguably best stored at other sites like Imgur, anyway.

As long as it federates, hey?
In case it helps you, I’ve found that the uMatrix extension has been a great way to auto-block all Javascripts while still being able to permit just the ones needed to work past a site or network’s limitations.
There’s a little bit of a learning curve at first, but nothing too bad. Using the extension also feels empowering, because it gives you much more control than just a flat ‘block everything’ anti-ad approach.
Using a browser instead of the YouTube app?
Bingo. I’m using Chrome app on WinX desktop. (and yes, I’m a total idiot who’s taken too long to switch over to FF & linux)
Amazon too, along with many other services. There’s a ClearURLs Firefox add-on to remove them automatically.
Cool. Myself, I just manually clear that tracking rubbish in the URL field, but I get that such is way easier on desktop browser.
You’re using Google, that’s about as wrong as it gets in the privacy space.
And I’m also using Gmail! :S
So just for gits & shiggles-- how badly would you say I might be hurt by my foolishness, at this rate?
Btw, Nebula-- are you able to federate back and forth with Mastodon & Lemmy as a single stream? I’d love to see that.
While I see that x10,000 with google links, I don’t recall I’ve ever seen it for YT videos.
As a google user, what… what am I doing wrong? 😕
despite the propaganda
Yeah, what propaganda might that be…?
Around here (MidWest city), fireworks go off every night for a month before, and then a month after the fourth. And I don’t mean a small amount, either. More like some version of the Vietnam War. It’s nuts.
Basically, most of summer is devoted to fireworks play, with the fourth being a deluxe version of the “fun.”
