That’s right, the tailored homepage isn’t present in Invidious.

I’m in the same boat of having educated the algorithm to fairly reliably show me things I actually want to see; I use my Invidious instance mostly as a backup for when the YouTube gods are in a foul mood towards Firefox or Ublock or the color of my shirt or whatever

I love going back and replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS2; awesome memories there. I really want to try out the OpenGOAL project

I’m currently moseying through Okami HD on my Switch. I’m enjoying it, though having a 4 month old limits how much I can play

Google just wants you to submit to their authority and do things the way they want.

Invidious and Piped are great alternative front ends; no ads, no tracking, no algorithm, no stupid throttling.

Piped.video is the main Piped instance, and I’ve got Invidious running at ourtube.roguewave.observer

I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.

Google sure is. Brave is a chromium-based browser - a browser that is built off of Google Chrome, so anything Google wants to put in their web browser to track you and devour your internet-soul is also in Brave and all the other “web browsers” that are just chromium skins like Edge.

I don’t understand what this graphic is saying, but I agree

I’ll have Sir Patrick Stewart soliloquizing about space followed by a rad fanfare as I get breakfast.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

One day we’ll have faster-than-light spaceships and computers the size of a human hair, and we’ll still be making Doom run on them

We did skip a lot of Season 1, so maybe that helped my perception of him.

 

What's the opinion on his character these days? I know he has a reputation of being very disliked.

My memory probably is more of early Web 2; I was born in the late 90s, so I suppose I missed the really wild west days.

Flash games were great though; it seemed like every company that even slightly catered to people under 30 had a website with some game on it.

 

Prior to the internet condensing into just 5 or so websites, what do you remember fondling about being online?

I remember winning a raffle contest on the old Terraria forums and getting to pick my own title (instead of just New Member, Member, Well-Known Member). Of course, since I was like 13, I picked a random collection of letters that only I knew was an acronym of my signature on said forums.
