From what I heard you may not need it even to get in through Canada anymore. And I heard of that before, but I'll just say that I don't use that garbage because I have a functioning brain, or whatever. God, I hate people do much. -

I have seen people say that the shot requirement doesn't apply to the land border anymore, only for flights. Because that makes complete sense of course. The flu must have announced that it will now only infect people in airplanes. -

Well, I don't think what they do is manly behavior. It's more like they, like men, are fully invested in being cogs in the machine and not actual people. -

It is pretty obviously that. But it's also an ideology, and all ideologies are tools to divide us, that should also be obvious. Feminism was theoretically supposed to be about women not being lesser for being women and having female traits, but now it's all about demonizing those female traits because men happen to like those. And it makes women miserable and turned them into slaves to the system, and made everyone poorer as well by forcing women to compete with men. And of course, it was intentional. The entire system hasn't pushed history in this direction by accident, and it wouldn't still be pushed today if it didn't lead to the exact outcome that they wanted. -

I remember that. Is DSP still around? That man is a survivor, he has been around for so long. He actually has made some pretty good videos. I ran into a couple old reviews of his from the early (to mid?) 2010s last year, and I liked them, pretty good.
He was memed a lot for his videos being bad, and I guess they mostly are, but the fact that he has made anything of value at all makes him above average these days. I'd rather watch him than most of the shit on the front page of most Invidious instances.
The biggest problem with him that I remember is that he was incapable of admitting that he fucked up, it was always the game's fault. And the fact is that it's impossible to improve and get good at anything if you don't recognize what you're bad at. Doesn't help that he shit-talked people too much in the past. I guess a lack of humility is/was DPS' biggest character flaw. Maybe he has addressed that, though, I wouldn't know. -

Would be a lot less of a problem if they weren't psychologically castrated and were willing to endure some hardship (in this case the very minor one of using something a bit different) to actually stand for something and have some self-respect. But they are tech JewTubers, of course they're not gonna do that (even though if anyone should it's them, since they can actually help these software projects by shilling the fuck out of them for free). Just look at their thumbnails, or just look at them, do you see any potential for self-respect there? https://social.076.moe/url/172567 -

It's very unfortunate that this happened, because streams are generally pretty shit. They are not as consistently entertaining as an LP is, and are also less about the gameplay, if that makes sense. Reading shitty chat and donations definitely doesn't help. Even good ones can't possibly contain as much fun-per-second as a really good LP most of the time, and the really good moments get lost unless they are clipped or turned into videos that I will pretty much always watch over the actual stream. LPs are a lot more dense in substance. there's not as much nothing going on.
There are good streams of course, but in many cases you can't possibly watch all of it unless you stop playing games or doing other things and make watching streams your main hobby. Though I guess you can just put them to the side and play the same game yourself at the same time.
Another problem with them is that you can't possibly go back and watch all the previous ones. So, streams are inherently much more disposable entertainment. Of course, other than the really good ones, again, that can be more like LPs. There are exceptions, there are some streamers that I really like, most of which post their stuff on YouTube anyway. -

A lot of the LPers that have been around for the longest time have a lot of LPs of Nintendo games, though, so, it was possible to survive that. I think it was mostly streaming. That and YouTube itself going to shit also killed review channels like CGR. -

I didn't have an account until the early 2010s, and I deleted accounts and made new ones all the time, to me they were always disposable. And I didn't post anything until 2021 (a video telling people that I was shadowbanned from commenting, and that I moved to Odysee, and it's definitely underrated because I actually bothered making it look cool).
And yeah, now I remember the limit being raised to 15 minutes. And it being removed as well, that was a huge deal for let's play channels that I watched. Going from LPs that were over 100 videos long because of the time limit, to fewer gigantic videos. Also in some cases gigantic videos, but still 100 of them, because people could do truly insane challenges in games, that took a long time to complete, or do LPs of ridiculously long games.
Also, I meant two different internets less in terms of protocol, and more in the sense of different worlds of different people. Right now we are on the web, but this is a very different part of the internet than what most people are on. And even in the case of YouTube, there are small obscure channels of people that don't go to the usual places, other than YouTube itself just to upload videos.
Anyway, I think AI will be the death of the "professional" JewTuber, it's only a matter of time. Just wait a few years, and the internet will be flooded with computer-generated videos, and no human will be able to compete, and eventually there will be so many of them that it will all be monetarily worthless. Also, the restrictions will become absolutely insane, because not even Google can host infinite videos.
Also, I actually think that the biggest JewToobers are less likely to last more than the usual than people that are just reasonably popular and have more of a niche and a more dedicated fanbase. There are LPers that I know that have been around since the 2000s and that are reasonably popular. Though most doing gaming stuff moved on to streaming. https://social.076.moe/url/170294 -

My internet is fine, download speeds are great. Websites basically never open instantly anymore, though. Also, I think Tor may be way slower on your end because of location.
It is slower than the web, but it's not that slow by today's horrible standards because opening a really bloated website like Odysee on LibreWolf takes so long that browsing a website like this on Tor ends up being better. -

Yeah, but for connecting to the web, without JS, it's an example of a good browser. It does what a web browser should while also being light. And that is, displaying a web page, and images and CSS are part of that.
Also, connection speeds and browser performance are a separate issue. Though frankly, I don't think Tor is that slow compared to the web. The entire web is so slow that the difference isn't that noticeable, I'm used to some slowness.
Anyway, have you ever checked out Gemini? Lagrange is another example of a light graphical browser. When I used it for the first time, I felt it immediately, the responsiveness. It's really easy to feel that, because I'm so used to everything not being that way. Whenever I click on a menu and it opens at a normal speed, it's really noticeable, because of how unusual that is nowadays. -

I haven't made more videos because of my living conditions (cramped environment, constant noise outside, system source problems, and more bullshit), but I want to make more (old school stuff, because for the most part I hate the "professional" way of doing anything (though there are exceptions, some high-effort videos made in a more "professional way are very good, but those are different, because again, high-effort, the people making them put a shitload of effort into them, it's not just disposable consoomer trash), videos were way better in the 2000s and even very early 2010s), and they won't be on YouTube. It's just not worth it.
You may not know this, but you actually have to dox yourself to post videos longer than 15 minutes long (unless they changed that). You have to send them a picture of a credit card, or maybe a driver's license, to remove that limitation. So, either you dox yourself, or you have to split videos into multiple parts like it's the 2000s again (but only in the bad ways).
There's no real reason to use YouTube at this point. I'd rather just use Odysee. Not like I have delusions of popularity anyway, that generally doesn't happen anymore unless you are a normalfag and make trash and have no self-respect.
Though of course, to be clear, there are people that still make videos I like. Weird and crazy anime and game videos, including gigantic analysis videos, videos about hardware, videos of random nobodies that I happen to like rambling about random things. There's still a lot of good stuff, there's just a much lower ceiling when it comes to how popular it can get, and it's much harder to find because YouTube is not going to want you to see the guy that gets 100 views per video, it's going to want you to see LinusSoyTips and fucking CNN.
Here is a good video, by the way, just as a treat and as an example and evidence of good things:
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=lM7FkXPIM5o
To me there's not really that much of a lack of good stuff. Especially when I watch videos so many times (and go back to old videos so much). There are hour long videos that I have rewatched (technically mostly relistened, after the first time, unless visuals really matter, but the video can always be to the side) close to 10 times. It's just how I am, I guess. People get tired of things much more easily than I do. I tend to enjoy a lot of things more, as I do them more times. When I can get so much enjoyment out of single videos, quantity becomes less of a concern, though I'm sure that there are tons of obscure channels that get no views out there, that contain things I would like.
The reality is... there are two different internets, used by completely different types of people and in different ways, but also, even within YouTube itself, there are some people that are more on our side of the internet than the mainstream side. And there are people that really don't give a fuck about making YouTube their "career", and those are the good ones a lot of the time. -

I hate web browsers so much. Really, I should just replace web browsers with RSS and text files at this point. -

Not even terminal browsers, those are legitimately a bad meme that needs to die (then again, that's most software "design"). Just supporting a normal browser would be fine. Install and open Dillo. Look at how fast it is and how much RAM it uses. It supports images, it supports HTML (though only very early HTML, so no divs, so a lot of websites won't have the expected layout, but it's fine, that's why tables are clunkier but preferable because of their portability) even fully supports CSS. It uses the FLTK toolkit (maybe that's a reason why it's efficient, I don't know how much bad performance is the fault GTK 2 ~ 4 and Qt 5 and 6, but maybe some of it is).
Graphics have been around for a long time, there is no excuse for everything to be this bad. And developers that give up on them are just hiding their incompetence. They can't make something good, so they're not even gonna try, they'll avoid design like the plague. Fact is, graphical programs have been a common thing for 40 years, they have no reasonable justification to not be blazing fast.
Why are they this bad? I don't know, I'm not a programmer (and almost all programmers are incompetent, it's just a field that attracts moronic midwits, so they don't know either), but things were faster 20 years ago on Windows XP than they are now on Unix systems, and the antidesign of all these ncurses programs is not a solution to anything, these OSs are still in practice worse than Windows 2000 in everything but customizability and security, and (maybe) not glowing in the dark quite as much. It's better than other current OSs, but that's not much of an accomplishment anymore, it's like winning the special olympics.
Of course, it's not the fault of the actual OSs, but these systems don't come with default programs that are light and fast, while older proprietary OSs did. And almost everything that you can install now is pure garbage, and there's no backwards compatibility, so good luck running an older one. And the ones that I did run were horrendous.
These OS were always plagued by people with no interest in UI design. Makes sense, they were made by people that used fucking ed, after all, and thought that was fine. Thank Bill Joy for vi, and whoever the fuck actually invented Emacs for Emacs, or we would be still be using ed right now, AND we would possibly have no key bindings in the command line, like in Plan 9. https://social.076.moe/url/169256 -

Well, for using without JS, even Palemoon may be a bit excessive. Though I guess some of the add-ons are nice even then, if you can still use them.
https://www.deviceinfo.me/
Test them. The difference is pretty big.
Anyway, has all this been undone? https://digdeeper.club/articles/browsers.xhtml#palemoon
I think I'd rather use Basilisk, or something else. -

Had no idea. I thought that it would never be on any repos again because of the licensing bullshit. Still, I'd rather use LibreWolf, even though the underlying Firefox is much worse. Palemoon has been going in a bad direction anyway, and LibreWolf is the only browser with acceptable default configuration.
Palemoon doesn't spy on you (just like some other browsers), but it still lets everyone else get a huge amount of your data. Check this on both Palemoon and LibreWolf, and compare the results:
https://www.deviceinfo.me/
Every browser other than LibreWolf that isn't actively malicious still lets the entire web collect a massive amount of data about your device.
