A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I used to give Google money for services (Drive and YouTube), but I've already stopped doing that because of their evil ways. This just hammers it home that much more.
Edit: The shitty part is what a cool company it used to be. And to watch it destroy itself like this is just sad.
This is my biggest complaint. They were the best way to access the sum of all human knowledge. Now I NEVER find things relevant to my search, just things that can be sold to me. Things like the “-“ character no longer work. I still get the excluded term in top results. It garbage now and everyone at google is to blame not just the executives.
I took my money from YouTube and started giving it to Kagi. 🙂👍
Might get there. Right now I just have external SSH access (key only) to get to the files. I also need an offsite, so it's all sent to a remote server with rsync and gocryptfs. I only have about 90 GB of stuff on there right now; I don't do any media serving.
For sure--I just don't tend to watch anything more than once. :) Most of my federated identity and offsites are at SDF, which is a solid place with a mission I respect and certainly don't mind giving $36/year to. Grayjay for stupid vids (if I could just get it to work with FCast...)
