Or NixOS if you want both Debian's stability and Arch's rolling releases.

I bet this will be removed soon.

First of all, Android is an operating system, and Linux is a kernel. OS ≠ Kernel.

Second of all, it's not even the generic Linux Kernel. It is heavily modified by Google LLC.

Why not just stick with Proton VPN or Mullvad? There's nothing wrong with them.

I agree, it has uses but they're pretty niche. When I talked about how it's unnecessary for people, I meant normal people who don't have such niche needs or objective.

It is a brilliant tool only if it's used correctly.

Please leave Privacy@lemmy.ml if that's actually what you think.

"Oh, the kids can't consent so we'll just go ahead and do what we like. We are adults, we always know what's right for them and we care for them so much."

It's crazy to me how much taking consent from a minor before doing anything to them is neglected, as if they do not have a brain at all but the second they turn 18, they should understand everything and be responsible and are also expected to follow what society wants them to do. Just because someone is a minor, doesn't mean you can do anything to them because "they're a minor" and "you are an adult."

Consent matters even if the person is a minor.

That sounds very dystopian to me. Have we humans reached such a low that we need to be reminded of the person's name we are talking to even though we've met them before or business relationships, or what we talked with them?

The glasses I wear everyday which do not contain any kind of electronics already does its job perfectly. Smart Glasses are an unnecessary extra, created merely due to the rise of trend of 'en-smartify every product and implement it with unnecessary electronics and spyware.'

I would've blocked this person immediately. I would hate anyone uploading my picture on the internet without my consent and also manipulating the image.

Thankfully we did find a couple of channels that we watch from YT on Odysee too.

You can also import the channels you're subscribed to on YouTube to Odysee along with your watch history. Note that only the channels available on both YouTube and Odysee will be imported. You can always use something like GrayJay if you want to watch all the channels you used to watch. You can also watch Odysee using GrayJay if you want to.

I’m wondering, how does Odysee pay channels when there’s not much on the advertising front?

I'm not sure but I think the revenue would mainly be from LBC tokens that viewers directly donate. Otherwise, there are things like Merchandise, paid content, members-only content, etc. But they seem to be removing LBC soon and they'll use AR cryptocurrency for payments and monetization.

We looked at Odysee, downloaded it and waitingbfor the “credits verification” thing. Not sure what that means but we’re guessing but we’ll try that out!

Those credits are for creators. You can redeem those for money, but I might be wrong here. Anyways, it's been three days, how do you find it?

You can use something like GrayJay, LibreTube, Pipepipe, NewPipe, etc. as an alternative to YouTube and SmartTube if you've got Android TV (there are alternatives for other OS's as well but I don't remember their names at the moment) and you can import all the history, playlists, and stuff in them so it isn't a completely new feed. Otherwise, something like Odysee would be good if you don't want the feed you have currently and would like to start from scratch though you can use those other alternatives for it as well.
