I never get that message, say on Freetube, and I also use a VPN. May I suggest you rotate to a smaller country’s server? Specifically one that is well outside the West and that also does not use English as their main or secondary language. I noticed English speaking servers are far, far more likely to get flagged.

I have suggested this to others with excellent results so far.

I have gotten that error when I check invidious on FF, but I am able to get by with uBlock on and just making sure JS is enabled. Never had that happen on Android clients.

On, I have and have used it. Thank you.

But as far as the host server that you hit is comcerned, whether you block the fonts via uBlock or do not fulfill the server request via Local CDN, they will still use it to profile you, because you tag yourself in the minority of users in the world that do not hit the Google font servers. And Google knows this.
Since even most adblock users still do not block fonts or other assets like this. Albeit I do as I use uBlock on Medium mode, including fonts. And I dropped using Local CND as to minimise my extensions footprint.

The main gain would be for the site’s aesthetics as you host some assets locally, but from a privacy perspective, you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. Albeit you are damned a little bit less if you do. LOL

Dang, apologies. Double checked. You are quite correct, my bad.

Freetube on Android/PC does have it, however. But it does have the many other options that a NewPipe derivative has.

Clipious is another one that does.

Fair. Time can also be a factor. Albeit you would agree that coupled to that there is also a sense of misconstrued set of priorities. Being fit is one of those things that there are no shortcuts for. Also, one had to pick and chose want is best and sometimes compromises must he done. Which I think it is a big issue who have been sold the lie that they can do and be whatever they want, which is for one not true. Also, there are only so many hours in a day, so clearly something had to give. Which in general to many it may he their health, whether they are aware of it or not.

There is also the fact that today’s society is not focused overly in quality of life but in profit and production. That is a grander issue that need to be address or we are just going to have unhealthier people who just die earlier.

From my own point of view, I have studies nutritional science and do not find it neither hard nor stressful to plan my diet. That is just me, bit I also took the time to learn. Again, time is once again the tricky one. Maybe I watch less TV, maybe I play less video games, or spend less time on my phone, but that time to take of my health has to come from somewhere. Again, we cannot do it all.

Yup, it does not end until we die. So, the best thing we can do is cherry pick what priorities matter the most to us and that we not happy but content.

Sorry to hear about the commute, commuting is one of the worst things in western culture and studies were done that showed that commuting was one of the most dreaded things adults do today.

In most of the USA healthy food is not a luxury. There are luxurious or expensive healthy foods, sure, but the main issues I see is a lack of nutritional science education and lack of personal control.

People will still buy"lite" food full of sugar because they are told they are low on fat. Or will eat stuff full of artificial sweeteners because they are told they are low on sugars. Despite the fact that we know that artificial sweeteners are bad for gut health. We know seed oils ate bad, bit you have literal magazines obfuscating this with BS stories where they will try to put lipstick on a pig and confuse less Academic readers with weird takes that may go over the years if people who have not studies the subject. It is insidious, if you ask me. It is hard to thinkk or see that money interests do not have a hand. I mean, changing things for the better would 100% affect their bottom line. So, why not lie or obfuscate until they absolutely cannot?

The reality is that eating healthy takes some work and personal accountability and people can also be lazy. Since corps go out of their way to lie to people, either fully or by omission. Just like most tech corps do.

Most legalese is not hard to understand. But people are too lazy, or ignorant, to bother or care. Anyone who is reasonable and took the time to read say Apple’s or Google’s ToS would 100% try to avoid using them as much as possible. Why? Because trying to care about your privacy is work and can be less convinient. Sometimes people want a shine device for ego points. So no common sense needed. And the acri9ns needed to minimize those corp’s surveillance takes a bit of work too.

The USA has a capitalistic, convenience problem that has been propagandised by Corps in order to give them the impression that why bother XYZ if we can make it easier and convinient for you, it will only cost your privacy. And since privacy can be at times an abstract concept to many it does not register as important or as serious a risk to lose it.

People who live in say, countries like the old Easter block are far more aware of the propaganda being thrown at people today, for example. The way the UK and Germany are are not that different in many ways as the CCP and the old soviet union. You are 100% correct with the bias for instant gratification.

It used to be called BraveNewPipe, yes. But the NewPipe folks want to trademark the name, so name got changed to BravePipe.

And you burn the PC after each use.

Also, by using RSS you skip all visual garbage and more tracking that you might have to exposed.

PS: I dislike Google Fonts. It is the most insidious way that Google can track people as they are used everywhere and in almost all sites and even by some FOSS applications.

I use Organic maps and if I “need” to use Gmaps, I use GWMaps, which is a privacy focused wrapper of the Google Maps site. Got it from Frdroid.

Same. I usually will change the VPN servers to non-English speaking countries. That usually helps.

I use Freetube on both PC and Android which has DeArrow. There are also a few forks of NewPipe that have it, BavePipe is one of them.

Literally downloaded a new version of their alpha branch yesterday. Browser is not dead.

Or maybe, just neither?

Or sometimes, just an authoritarian government.

Exactly. There is no such thing as rights in that context as we have seen governments take them and be force to relinquish them throughout history. Everything can be taken or revoked.

Inalienable rights are a pipe dream of idealistic, naive people who have never lived in the real world where these so-called Rights had be fought or died for.

Just look at the current state of the the UK, their PM proudly stated that 400 were arrested for posting shit online. WTF? In Germany a man was charged for calling a fat, obese politician ‘fat.’ The UK wants to become a nanny state, for your protection, you see. Same with Germany and others. They are literally and slowly coping the CCP police state model.

In the USA, in some States is now literally Illegal to NOT do business with Israel. But you want to not do business with Canada or Mexico, then go right ahead. Nobody cares. Gee, I wonder who is funding these policians, AIPAC? Yes.

So The Register is lying?

Whether people like or not, 4Chan has had a huge influence on internet culture, and thus culture as a whole. What you are really describing is just /POL or /B. 4Chan had a news, books, tech boards that nothing to do why what you are thinking.

As content, terms and memes down current into the normie internet. From all types of content. For example, the term “Slop” which I see now used as way to describe soulless, current media content is now being used by many YT content creators /, which came from 4Chan, specifically the term goyslop which is noe years old. I mean there are dozens if not hundreds of other examples. The concept of Bronnies started as a joke on 4Chan that spun out of control.

Israel’s psyops on 4chan could be to indirectly manipulate and to demoralise English speaking countries by poisoning the well. It is almost as if Israel literally does every single stereotype they claim they do not do, and will call everyone antisemitic over it. I am almost certain the push the BBC meme as to create racial tensions. It is just a devide and conquer geopolitical move. Other countries do it, too.

Nice and thanks. :-)

Cool and true advise. 95% of users or normies will literally not do that.

Linux users are less than 5% of all PC users.

I was under the impression that if a phone restarts, then you cannot use biometrics. You have to use a pin/password/etc.
