I recommend FreeTube on desktop or NewPipe on Android. Tubular = NewPipe with SponsoBlock and Disklike button, but sadly does not get updated that often.

All a bit more work with keeping subscriptions in sync manually, but so much better experience than YouTube native.

In the digital realm: Reddit and G-Suite were the big ones. Just completed migration of my private accounts. Both 16+ years). Lemmy, Proton + Nextcloud for now. Have not switched my business over yet, but it will be a quick process once I fully commit.

If for any reason Gmail gets blocked in the future there will be many people surprised by not only losing their email, but also access to their external online services (if they need the email address in any way to sign in). Of course also to any data they keep in the Google ecosystem.

Can the UK join again? A speedy re-integration would be awesome.

You are right. I think I read that wrong. I thought automatic segment skipping like YouTube SponsorBlock. You definitely can fast forward using buttons.

Don't love the closed-in ecosystem but Garmin watches with MIP display do almost all you just said.

• Touch screen + also Buttons for 100% touch-free interaction
• Battery life of around 3 to 4 weeks (depending on what you are doing)... more with the Solar models
• Media control is there, but don't really use that

Podcast ad skipping sadly not a thing.

Price might be an issue though. The top end models with all the whistles come at a smartphone flagship price point.

After re-reading the fine-print I hereby fully commit my soul to the spirit of lemmy.

How dare you make us click a link and read for ourselves? Not what I signed up for.

Ah. That's even easier. Good to know how to quickly check.

Hmm. Will try it some time. Sometimes it feels like being shadow-banned.... but TBH it's more likely just not so active communities / mediocre contribution on my part.

haha. seeing as I don't usually get much interaction I would never notice.

switched to lemmy as main platform on my phone a few days ago anyway. when boost for reddit finally was blocked completely. will try to be more active here and hope many other people do the same... there is a good chance with all that's going on.

What does shadow banning typically look like? I would assume you don't get a notification? How do you find out?
