  ReVanced mods the official YouTube apk, meaning you maintain syncing watch history, subscriptions, likes, comments etc. Which iirc NewPipe doesn’t. Whether you care about that is entirely up to you though, NewPipe is certainly better if you care more about privacy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Renewable energy means we can stop setting money on fire, silly billy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Am I tripping or does Alec look so much younger here than usual?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • When the lines hit your eye
  • And it makes a big tri
  • That’s Pythagoras

  Ok the last line needs some work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The original switch also had an option with grey joy cons

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Private parking rules review prompted by £2,000 five-minute fine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember: If they can use ANPR to send you a large fine, they could just use it to charge you for the parking in the first place. The only reason they don’t is corporate greed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old fashioned⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue that keeping your own digital library on a home server is “better” (more convenient) than a bunch of discs that will also degrade over time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New plans to ensure the BBC’s financial sustainability set out by the Culture Secretary⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are only two actions that require a TV license:

  • Using BBC iPlayer for any reason
  • Watching live broadcast TV from any source

  YouTube does not have a broadcasting licence (granted by Ofcom) so YouTube live streams do not count as broadcast TV.

  At least I’m pretty sure that’s how that works

  The poachers have just been selectively breeding hyper intelligent apes this whole time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aren’t they owned by Nestle though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cost of ‘bat shed’ to protect colony near HS2 has topped £100m, chair says⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ve heard of “Bike Shedding” (wasting time arguing about a pointless tangent)

  Now get ready for “Bat Shedding” (wasting money arguing about a pointless tangent)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America's Smartest Man Finds Something Interesting⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Critical thinking skills only count if they’re MY critical thinking skills” do they not see the irony?
