72·1 month agoIn an instance like this, our riders have 24/7 access to Rider Support agents who will help them navigate the situation in real time
Clearly that’s what a human driver would do, but I guess those Rider Support Agents work for free, so why not fire the driver? /s
1·2 months agoI might come across as an obsolete dinosaur (which I probably am) - but I really enjoyed the tracks from Hitman game series, especially Exploration from Hitman 2 : Silent Assasin, and then became a fan of anything composed by Jesper Kyd.
Ever since TV remote was invented, people don’t even lift their asses off the couch and walk over to the TV to change the channel. Unless a company adapts to changing tech landscape, they can be many things, but not a company for grown-ups.
I just read about this extension today. Seems interesting. The description says It’s supposedly doing more than just switching the UA.
This seems to assume that advertisers don’t want our identifying information, and are clamoring for an alternative to tracking that lets them measure ad performance anonymously, which is just not true. Being able to uniquely identify users and target them is a feature, and getting more data points from the browser just helps add to their profiles.

It was surprising to see this from Firefox, and even more unsettling was the fact that this was turned on by itself in my desktop firefox settings since the last update. So it was opt-out by default, while I expected this to be opt-in, just like their telemetry.

Yep, someone thought of porting the awesome Freetube app to Android. It’s not as polished as NewPipe, but gets the job done. Especially at this time, it’s the only one that is working, having both a local API as well as option to use Invidious API.
I pulled the apk straight from their github page via Obtainium. You may want to give it a try.
Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.
I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.
The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.
I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.

What else would we expect anyway…
