Can’t we script a complete copy of Google maps data (shops, highways etc) to this? Is the API restricted? Can we run distributed jobs for it? I can spin up some compute if someone is interested in trying this

The point is not to use Gmail at all, and forwarding it isn’t likely to help (this is in important places like work)

It’s about the YouTube platform. For the most part I don’t pay attention to the recommendations

Thanks edited

Run a transparent encryption program and buy a Google drive subscription of 2TB for a year for $100.

Except the CLI hasn’t been updated in ages

I don’t think I follow. Your going to have to give me examples of what you specifically don’t like.

Don’t like spyware in your OS? Install a FOSS OS. Unfortunately, firmware is mostly still binary blobs (I’m looking at Framework to do something about this but they’re taking a heck of a long time).

You don’t call your loved ones? I’ve yet to hear of companies putting ads inside phone calls. If you’re using a chat app that spies on you but your family doesn’t give a duck about it, use a matrix back-end and self-host it.

Need to compare hashes between a stock ISO and one flashed booted by Ventoy (dd the latter to a file and check)

What I want is a platform on I2P which has a collection of residential proxies to connect and scrape YouTube. I guess that’ll work for Invidious too, but I just really like the idea of a huge community staying and interacting in I2P which will help its adoption (of course, the service must be P2P and not relay video directly like Invidious does now)

You’re right. This kind of thing is best done on I2P. It’ll be PeerTube just with ripped videos from YouTube lol

I need a YouTube mirror on the darknet so I don’t reach them directly

YouTube and my existing Gmail is the only thing tying me back. And the occasional Google maps. I don’t even use the rest of their services anymore

I can get a Anker 2 pack 6 feet USB-C cable for $11 lol. Why in Christ’s name should I buy an Apple-branded cable?

But then again, I don’t have anything from Apple, so moot point I guess

I am baffled as to why people want a GUI for Docker, of all things

Components? What exactly would be a “product” for you then? For all intents and purposes, I get the exact same quality from AliExpress and Banggood that I get from Amazon, just the latter charges me twice/thrice. Even my experience with refunds has been better with the Chinese than Amazon who absolutely doesn’t want to part with the money they wrongly took from me.

I wouldn’t buy expensive electronics like Mobile phones and TVs from Chinese shops. Cups, a torch, key fob, package opener, tape etc are all “products” I bought from AliExpress which would have cost me at least twice as much from Amazon/Walmart. Why on earth should I shop at American companies again when they resell the same stuff to make extra profits off of my back??

OK, give me an American retailer who can give me the micro-controllers and sensors I need, preferably at a reasonable price. For example: a $40 ARM board with dual ethernet and WiFi card slot.

You’ll quickly realise that there’s a lot of things missing when you completely discount China.

Yeah I wouldn’t really depend on such flimsy electronics for something so dear as a pet

So, no digital electronics at all. That’s a great life

I’d rather pay 80% for things that have a 50% chance of turning out shit anyway. What makes you think Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart are any better?

Nobody should be buying an automatic litter box from any of these sites. They’re all coming from China with the same build-quality regardless of whom you’re buying it from. I do not get the hate against Chinese shops but loving American brands who do the exact same thing but can somehow get away with empathy from people

Instagram is a “moral service”?

The only thing I use Proton for is free email accounts. They take that away, I move to cock li (I’m already in the middle of a mini-move but you can never be sure of when the smaller providers will fold).
