I just discovered this on a relative's computer. Any trick to removing the VPN service?

Which phone do you use?

🤔😔🤷🤷🤦

I tested it in Firefox InPrivate, Edge, Brave, and Chrome and all are identical for me. I think they just fucked up YouTube. 😂

I remember this system. I had to apply to do it after my account was old enough, then they'd give me a little bit to rate at first. Then IIRC they gave me more to rate after it was clear I wasn't abusing it.

They had a guideline page I had to read before I started to rate comments and I don't think those attributes were optional. So, comments got a primary attribute associated with their rating.

I wasn't able to rate comments that I saw as I browsed but rather it was a collective rating system where volunteers were served comments (with expandable context) to curb the tendency to downvote just because you disagree with something.

At the height of Slashdot the discussions on there were incredibly educational and thoughtful and that rating system worked very well.

I think they're saying the opposite: millennials as "boomers" so-to-speak.

I think they are starting to write this way, because there's huge numbers of Americans who do not even know what the Holocaust is and that it happened let alone the basic facts about it. It's shocking when you read the recent polls which demonstrate the levels of ignorance we are dealing with around this.

Edit:

I'm surprised that people don't know about the ignorance of the Holocaust. Here is some reading for our collective edification.

• Kovac, Adam. "Almost half of Americans don’t know how many Jews died in the Holocaust, AJC survey says." Forward, 2023. https://forward.com/fast-forward/533204/ajc-poll-holocaust-knowledge-americans/
• O'Kane, Caitlin. "Survey finds 'shocking and saddening' lack of Holocaust knowledge among millennials and Gen Z." CBS News, 2020. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/holocaust-lack-of-awareness-millennials-gen-z/
• "Most Americans lack some basic knowledge about Holocaust — poll." The Times of Israel, 2023. https://www.timesofisrael.com/most-americans-lack-some-basic-knowledge-about-holocaust-poll/
• "What Americans Know About the Holocaust." Pew Research Center, 2020. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2020/01/22/what-americans-know-about-the-holocaust/

It might seem unbelievable to see how ignorant people are of the Holocaust, but what you and I find common sense and basic facts of history which we all know are unfortunately not generally known to be basic facts of history and we do not all know these facts. Less and less of us know these facts.

It's alarming and it's good that publishers are writing to state basic facts for an ignorant readership. Because of this we shouldn't see this style of informative writing as a fault but rather as a boon to ignorant readership.

I think Marlinspike's weird crypto turn is what got him pushed out so we now have the wonderful Meredith the first tech company leader I've ever looked up to.

Hopefully they remove that crypto thing from it.

Most people meet partners through mutual friends and at work.

I know your question is rhetorical, but they are paying it on the owners' salaries.

He's on Kbin.

There's so much FUD about Signal it's ridiculous. I'm starting to believe those glowie memes are true it's just the "lol like I'd ever trust Signal!!!" folks who I think might be the glowies. 🫣🫣🫣
