Honestly, I can't even say I'm disappointed. I've lost all hope in Facebook.

Invidious doesn't use YouTube's API. It merely requests content from YouTube either directly or through a proxy. So, I don't think it'll disappear forever unless the developers stop working on it. It's probably gonna be a game of cat and mouse where YouTube figures out how to break Invidious, and the devs keep finding a workaround.

Red Pandas are also often known as 火狐 in chinese, which literally translates to β€œfire fox”.

Oh, you mean to tell me that paying for a gazillion streaming services individually is somehow more expensive than bundling them all together with cable? Who could have seen that coming?

One of my many gripes with Inkscape is the steep learning curve. If this new application fixes it, I'd see myself using it as long as I don't have to rent the software.

Till then, Inkscape all the way.

Firefox being slow has almost nothing to do with Mozilla's incompetence or the browser's inability to handle websites.

When devs build websites, they usually build them for the most popular browser, aka Chrome. They couldn't be bothered to help the minority of people who use Firefox. Also, cost. Building a website to work with 2 different engines is more expensive than building it for just one engine that'll work for 99% of users. That's why a lot of banking websites never support FF.

Another primary reason is Google's Monopoly. Almost everyone uses some Google service or another. Google's websites are tailored to perfectly fit Chromium, not FF. This is why you'll sometimes see websites break or even crash. YouTube's recent ambient mode made the site choke quite a lot on FF. An average Joe ain't got the knowledge to know or even troubleshoot the issue and they'll just shift to Chromium, where everything just works.

North, East, West, South?

Are you Mr Beast's content brainstomer or something?

I perform a highly sophisticated ritual known as "struggling to find the most comfortable position", only to wake up later feeling like I went ten rounds with a mattress." It's real art, ya know.

"Dr. Peeper." (Not exactly adding a letter, but the best I could come up with.)

I'm not sure why FireFox is often depicted as a red panda. Isn't it supposed to be a fox? (Not going to lie, both are cute.)

Found this on the FF Wikipedia page.

I think it's called Vicarious Nostalgia. Found a page on Wikipedia discussing the topic.

Is recess a subject?

You learn somethin' new everyday. Thanks for enlightening me. 😁

She's adorable. What breed is she?

Meanwhile Apple: Introducing the revolutionary new iSpoon, complete with a 4K OLDED touch screen and a built-in Siri that tells you how to chow your cereal properly. Starting at the low price of $1600 $1099.99.

But of course, don't forget to buy the iBowl, iPlate, and iNapkin as well, because who needs an ordinary cutlery set when you can have everything in true Apple fashion.

(Disclaimer ⚠️: The iSpoon can only be used with the iBowl.)

Cable wasn't exactly popular where I was growing up. I mostly watched movies in theaters or through DVD's.

I remember a time when all the Disney content used to be on Netflix. That was the first time I actually invested in a streaming service. But, then they decided to make Disney+ and I went, "Well it's time. Argh Matey!"

Right click on the downloads button and hit "Clear Preview Panel" to clean up the downloads bar.

I'd kinda wanna ask the world's most famous artists what their opinion was on a machine that could convert words to images.

The Netherlands. And by popular, I mean in my locality. Growing up, going to the theater was a luxury experience. I had a friend who was better off and he and I shared CD's of movies and video games and so on.

Free TV was mostly politics, news and religious stuff (maybe I remember it that way because my Dad mostly used the TV). About the only time I was really invested in television was when the 2006 World Cup aired.

Blender took me a lot of time to master. It's not exactly bad. The only thing is stuff is hard to find. And if you don't use it frequently, you'll eventually forget how to use it.

During COVID, I decided to give Blender a shot. It did work out, and I started creating some cool stuff. Then a few months passed, and when I reopened it, I was like, uh.....

Outstanding Visual Style should've been won by either Lies of P or Cocoon in my opinion.

I kinda like doin' that. Dunno why. I'm a sucker for perfectionism.
