Hey there Lionir. Thanks for the post. Can the Beehaw team please look into copying or getting the creator of this bot to work here? https://lemmy.world/u/PipedLinkBot@feddit.rocks

I think the person that created that bot is somehow connected to the piped.video project. I know the whole privacy consciousness thing isn’t for everyone, but this bot’s posts are quite popular elsewhere on Lemmy.

FYI, the main reason to use piped.video links is that it is setup as an alternative front end for YT that automatically routes all users through a bunch of VPNs to help mitigate Alphabet’s privacy abuses and manipulation.

The first fix is to regain control of the rhetoric amongst ourselves. We need a mass movement to dominate the entire sociopolitical conversation. The real power is in the human tendency to gravitate to the same topics and towards the sensational/controversial. We need to outright reject all of the inflammatory nonsense by going meta every time. Never talk about the subjects themselves. Make every conversation about the underlying manipulation and distraction. People like the blood emerald African space Karen can not be allowed to dominate the social sphere. The entire world culture average atmosphere must pushed back. Right now, we are being lead about in chains visiting a prescribed list of dog piles to shove our noses in. The dog shit is not the problem; it’s the person holding the chains. Every morning we choose who gets to hold the chains. We like our noses shoved in dog shit so much we run back to it every day without realizing we are giving the chains to the problem person every time.

We really need to crush the parasitic billionaire problem that funds the right and leverages convenient idiots of the world by stoking their prejudice and hate. There will always be some innocent whipping boy to toss in a camp. Pitchfork politics is never about the victims it is about controlling the conversation and distraction. Like in the USA, the only reason for the stupidity is to prevent closing the loopholes that enable the corrupt oligarchy. No one can investigate and make reasonable laws when they are confronted by a constant barrage of absurd nonsense. It just needs to be so inflammatory that no one can dominate the conversation with the message I’m posting now to regain any sense of rational control. The USA has 10% of the laws and protections of any other western nation. This is why the parasites exist, what they are funding, and what is being exported world wide. Russia proved that power is all about leveraging the convenient idiots. Australia and Japan have solved this issue already. Anyone with tens of billions of dollars is a worthless subhuman criminal.

Just learned all about EFI keys and signing my own hardware drivers

Over the last days, thinking about this, writing then canceling a half dozen times, then finally posting, and pondering responses, I think the mentally bottled sexuality has been my primary hindrance of emotional growth.

Growing up in an ostracized small religious group meant default friends because there were only 2-3 kids in an age group. These “friends” coexisted more than developed relationships. I don’t know how to develop real relationships beyond those of convenient coexistence. I can readily acknowledge I am emotionally shallow, but unlike intellect where I feel free to pursue curiosity unabated, I don’t have a clue where to go with emotional growth. It seems like addressing unrecognized prejudices may be a good starting point. Maybe looking to people bold enough to stand out on their own even against social pressures, is a good idea.

I think we all turn invisible at 30 too.

So to really clarify. In my past I have had no problem calling out heterosexual people in my friends group for outright lude behavior. Like, a slap on the ass in public and some quick innuendo that would fly past the average pre-teen unnoticed is perfectly fine. Holding hands or a plutonic peck on the cheek or lips is fine. It’s the constant prolonged banter, hands in the pants, groping type of behavior that has made me uncomfortable regardless of orientation.

I went to high school at an advanced, State run, semi private institution that was located in a predominantly black neighborhood in the US south. The school was 90% black. I’m white and I quickly learned that there are times when racism went both ways. There were many taboo words and things that can’t or shouldn’t ever be said in such situations. I had just as many, if not more, black friends that were often willing to stand up for me when I was the minority in a larger group.

I have felt a similar type of need to avoid saying anything when it comes to open lude behavior and the LGBTQ+ community; like I can’t say anything as some kind of reparation for the sins of my ancestors kind of thing. This is not something that everyone does or anything like that. It’s the kind of situation where there are a couple dozen people in the group and there is that one person that wants to push everyone to their limits and beyond.

This is internally polarizing for me and I don’t want to leave that unaddressed. It is an internal conflict point that slows my growth and perspective. So, does one say something, or avoid circumstances where the offending person is present? It feels like a lose:lose situation. If I say something it will likely light a fuse I’m not prepared to absorb the blast from, or I’m labeled as prejudice because of applying the same sense of morality across the board and so avoiding the person is my only option that avoids conflict. At the same time, I don’t want the person to feel oppressed or ostracized.

I can only think of twice in my life that this has happened, but it is a mental wall that I never tried to address or get past. It is what polarized me in a way I didn’t acknowledge as significant until now.

I have trouble getting past some of it too. I don’t get out much. Sometimes it feels like being uncomfortable is also not knowing what happens if I was not hiding behind the no PDA wall. Coming to terms with this is kinda what I hope to accomplish here, I just don’t know how to say it in a very good way. Honestly, this community is probably the only place I would dare try. Thanks for that.

That is the kind of intuitive conflict I’m looking for to find balance. I know there is more in this space that I have not encountered. This hits hard.

No it was related to custom emojis.

Isn’t that a subscription service thing though?

There IS one major problem. Many accounts only have optional email attached for .world, mine included. I think that means compromised credentials are a massive problem.

No user data like credentials gets transfered. Everything between instances is done with bot like helpers that do the data transfers.

I think TotK dropped a lot of hints about not playing it like BotW, but most probably didn’t pick up on it. I made the mistake of exploring a lot on my own and ended up skipping several of the quest stories as a result. When the world is so large, you really need a GPS for your map to constrain your path. It’s kinda hard to tell the user “this time is different, follow the guides” when it seems so familiar a place.

There was a lot of effort made to ensure there was guide based content posted online immediately upon release, but this assumes the user will go looking for it.

It could also be a way to shake out any elements of the Russian military or other paramilitary groups that are looking for ways to get out of Ukraine. Like, maybe the attacks on Wagner coming from the Russian army are rogue elements where Wagner is obviously the most effective target for friendly fire.

The thing I find fascinating is I only have 1 reddit account, but I effectively have dozens of YT accounts. Just on this device I have newpipe, and libretube. Libretube has around a dozen auto generated random instances associated. Both my laptops have Freetube. I had 4 regular YouTube channels with various gmail accounts linked from when I actually posted content. Practically every device I have replaced had random YT accounts too. I know what I like to watch and importing and exporting features usually fail.

Maybe it is just newpipe being screwy but in my watch history, newpipe shows how many times I’ve watched any given upload. Most stuff I’ve watched says some bogus number of views like 6-10 when I just watched it once. Some report correctly, but most do not. It would not surprise me if this is actually YouTube. I can say, for most of the stuff I watch I’m a solid 2 dozen subscribers or more.

Better chance of YT -> Odysee
