I’ve started getting captcha every time I do a Google search. Not sure what that’s about but it’s made the decision to pursue alternatives easy.
Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?

When you are forced to do captchas make sure you do them as badly as possible while appearing to be human!
These fuckers weren’t even paying attention to the “precision vs. accuracy” concept introduced on the first lecture in the one science class they had to take. Make them pay for their ignorance.

How does one do this?

Just pretend you are trying to bullshit what the objects you are identifying are as if you actually have no clue what you are supposed to be doing but you have learned basic ways to bullshit your way through. Imagine the captcha as the class you cared about LEAST in school and attempt to answer it as sloppily and half-assed as you can without getting kicked out of class.
We were born for this calling my friend.

I’m also mostly de-Googled now. I’m not signed in anywhere and don’t use most of the google stuff. It wasn’t really that hard since there are great alternatives. But saying no to YouTube and all the nice channels I’m following is really hard.

The nice channels, those days are gone. The internet we knew has been destroyed or will be diminished to an annoying shadow pretty soon. If you had to put a % on what is now monitized what would it be?

The primitive technology guy is still going. Wish I could afford the land to try some of the things he does.

For youtube just use yt-dlp and download them, can be behind a vpn when you do it. Im not sure if that affects the creator making money though.
