  • But isn’t this what people are trying to avoid when it comes to digital privacy? User data being used in less algorithms?

    Yes. Invidious and other programs, websites and anything else are useful for these kind of things. When you go to another house and in another computer you want to see some video but not affect the watch history of the user that uses the computer mainly. Or just simply watching some video that you wouldn’t normally watch.

    But most people who use YouTube actively on their main computer binge-watch. Sometimes they follow creators, sometimes they follow what the algorithm recommends them for the day. Invidious does not have such algorithm, since its a proxy. So, it is really not for everyone.














  • For me, the reason why Delta Chat hadn’t caught up on me is stickers. There’s a sticker picker on desktop, but not on mobile, and its behind more settings. Weird that it doesnt do it like WhatsApp where stickers are added to personal collections (favorites) that only sync between accounts and can be added manually; it’s not necessary to make it like Telegram or Signal where you can add a collection from a repository.

    For chatting it is really enough. Like email.

    Installed Windows 8.1. Ran some core updates. Updated drivers. Cleaned and debloated it a bit (it didn’t have much). For some reason Windows Update installed Microsoft Edge version 84 and jumpscared me to make it the default browser.

    they really wanted me to be an edge user no matter if it was outdated
