Exactly. You have a problem once they start multiplying.
If you start printing 3D printer, that is a terminal stage and no help for you anymore.

Completely normal phenomenon

Dual booting can be problematic. Windows is the most retarded OS ever which sometimes decides to overwrite boot partition.
FOr trying out stuff, you van install Linux as a virtual machine. Check there if your sw works there and is available.

I think you have too much free time.

It might have potential and the video quality is decent, but unless they sort out their banning policy it will only attract nutjobs and all kind of anti[something]ists, [something]phobes… etc.
Reading comment sections is making me puke.

All the crypto crap is not helping as well.
I am prefering paying some money for nebula, which might not have a big creator base but everything I need, sometimes some bonus content and no ads. But this one is not for everyone.

I would rather go for reasonable competition. Ideally more than one. I really enjoy nebula for example.

Not going to happen. All the alternatives so far are attracting all the nutjobs and platform ends up with loth of garbage conspiracy videos, antisemitic, racist…etc users who would be otherwise straight banned from youtube.

3D printing. Suddenly you are able to fix small plastic shit in your house which would otherwise mean throwing out the whole goddamn thing. Best feeling ever to repair and save stuff.

Zero. :)

No need to get offended just because I mentioned one of the valid reasons.

There are many reasons why are people in general returning to reddit. Addiction, not wanting to let past work go, not giving a crap, giving up on things… I just don’t like labeling them and pretending there is only one which fits the narrative.

Maybe you should read what I have written first.
You are talking like there was no such thing as addiction to power among mods. And once again - there are all kinds of mods. Gaussian curve applies here as well.

Nah it’s just power addiction. They can stop any time.

Don’t forget the addiction to power. Yes, there are all kinds of moderators.

Same here. The only problem with protonmail is that there is almost no option to use standard clients. For mail you have protonmail bridge which is pain in the ass but better than nothing. Calendar and storage is practically useless if you are not able to integrate it to the standard phone app or desktop client.
But I understand that this is the price for encryption.
