We were with several other groups and had no internet, but needed to communicate through text. Briar filled the gap with its ability to communicate internetlessly through a local network (as long as the others are on the same network). Creating a hotspot with one phone and connecting the others makes a wlan with your group inside. Could you tell me what I'm missing from my explanations? I'd be happy to elaborate further if I knew.
Only if those you're sending to are also on the same hotspot signal. Basically, you're creating a local wifi network, and Briar works over WLAN.
When you're served ads, you're not the customer, but the product. The customers would be the advertisers. There's nothing inherently wrong with this, mind you, until it stops you from consuming the context you intended on consuming. Then it becomes a problem.
I wonder how these legislations can be abused to accomplish the exact opposite. I guess we'll find out, if it passes...
My exact use case haha. Became invaluable when the internet was unavailable. Used my phone's hotspot to create a wlan, then used it to communicate with those I needed to. Communicate internetlessly with your nearby groups, brought to you by Briar.
Personally, I prefer peertube, but odyssee had potential... before the nutters. Peertube has this issue, too, but being decentralization, it's more of finding an instance with less nut. Like soy, nuts are in everything.
I was annoyed when I got the popup, so I stopped using vanilla yt and started using invidious or freetube. Since then ubo updated a couple times. I used vanilla yt the past couple days for hours of educational vids, and got no antiadblock messages. It wasn't until I saw this post that I realized that ubo autofixed itself. Ask your father to reinstall ubo on ff and see if it fixes it. Also, I don't ever log on to yt, so maybe that plays a factor.
Privacy.com. Use a virtual cc for this service. Then stop pitting money on it or flat out cancel the virtual cc.
Google didn't back off. They're going forward with it, but in smaller pieces. Their first piece is going after streamed and stored media, instead of the web as a whole.
How do you control a population? You take away their rights, one little piece at a time, so they don't notice the change. Same concept as how you eat an elephant: one bite at a time.
This time next year, the internet will be unrecognizable and massively corporate (more so than it is now), unless we, the internet population, fight back and win.
60% isn't my cuppa, but damn if this kb isn't one sexy beast! Nice job!!
I was talking about the content creators that post solely on odysee specifically, as they tend to be as nut as the commenters (not always, of course). But you bring up a good point. There are two main problems with odysee...
