Piped.video is an option directly in the browser. Or Invidious.

On mobile (android) I've seen NewPipe as an option

Intuition Pumps And Other Tools for Thinking by Daniel C. Dennett is a decent introduction.

 

I added a keyword to be blocked but it's still showing posts where that word shows up. Not sure if it's because the keyword is in descriptions and/or comments instead of just the title.

unfortunately this is not free on GOG right now, just 75% off. I see this a UK community though so maybe it is free, but only in UK?

I agree with the under-16 social media ban, but figuring out how and who implements is definitely going to be the hard part. Ideally it would be parents first, but that's been the status quo up to now and it hasn't worked. And as someone who has been "18+" online since I was 10... raising the age limit on the services themselves is only going to work to a certain extent. I'm very curious to see how this plays out.

I've been using Showly a couple months now and it's not so much the trakt features that bother me it's the fact i can't backup or import/export a csv file or something i could store in a cloud. I'd rather take a year or two to teach myself how to fork the app and add what i want than ever sign up for another service.

nooo I was gonna say Urbz!

another +1 for Heroic. Lutris never worked for me, would only install games but not launch them, and I'm not skilled enough to figure out why. Almost certainly something specific to my setup. But Heroic makes things easy-peasy.

And yeah, if Heoric doesn't work for some reason, Bottles usually will.

I loved it. Loved the historical setting and its exploration of racism, imperialism, capitalist exploitation at that time and place with the perspectives of diverse characters.

I already enjoy linguistics and learning languages, so I may be biased towards already liking the premise of the novel. (And dark academia is totally up my alley.) The way the author explores the nature of language and how certain parts of ideas always get lost in translation was pretty cool; and using that as a form of magic (that could then be exploited only from native speakers of the language no less) was so cleverly done.

Add in the character conflicts between the four friends, a campus strike, and working class solidarity (with a dash of "be gay do crime")... I was hooked.
