  • This happens occasionally and have to be patient for a fix to come out. Sometimes takes a week or longer. During those times I just use freetube as a rss feed and use it to open videos on Firefox.

    Pretty crazy amount of plugins I need to make default youtube palatable though like sponsorblock, dearrow, and blocktube. Freetube just simplifies it when it works.


  • Being able to actually leave behind big tech with Microsoft being one of the biggest ones with all the changes going on when it comes to things like privacy and getting your information sold is pretty huge for some people.

    People have been tired of Microsoft since Windows 10 when even a clean install would have ads, and it went from a basic OS to one trying to get you to log into an account to funnel data from you.

    At this point is kind of less about the games, but improvements to Linux and the attempt to make it more accessible for the average user who isn’t tech savvy that has people seeing Valve positively.



  • Yeah, while it is draw for majority of people it is the reason I stayed away from it because the concept of social media brought to you by TMZ sounded like a nightmare. But, those who want to feel closer to celebrities or get the opportunity to go viral love it.

    Might be overlap between those who like sharing personal things on social media, and those who don’t see a problem with things like meta glasses due to finding the concept of not putting your entire life on social media bizzare.






  • I used shreddit back in the day which used reddit api and gdpr files to rewrite and delete all comments based on the direct links provided by the gdpr files. Its hard to get reddit api key now. But, nothing got restored.

    I think people who said their comments were restored used things like power delete suite which relies on comments it can see based on your profile on old.reddit. There was a limit to the amount of comments it showed like 1000. So it would delete 1000 comments and not show anything. But, then later repopulate the profile with the next set of 1000 after a few days.

    So what they thought was reddit restoring comments might have been comments that hadn’t been rewritten/deleted showing up.


  • Use power delete suite. Rewrite comments. You’ll have to run it a few times when you get an error. Then after checking to see everything has been rewritten use it to delete comments. This is so if comments get restored it’ll be with overwritten content.

    Then check on your profile in a few days or a week to do the same thing for the next set of comments that appear.

    I’m not sure if it has changed, but reddit had a limit of the amount of comments displayed on your profile. Like 1000? So if you had like 5000 comments you’d have to run the rewrite then delete process 5 times while waiting for a few days for the comments that didn’t appear before to show up in your profile.

    Don’t delete your account. Just leave it dormant just in case there are comments that didn’t get overwritten and deleted that might show up on your account.
