youtube does not put ads before, during or after a video for a premium subscriber. creators are in control of the content within that video (and that could include sponsored segments). if that is an issue, you will need to skip those or use something like SponsorBlock.
I think they are also offering compute time to actually do the things they want to do. The money is nice, but not fighting or having gpu's being pulled from you can also mean alot.
I can’t scroll. It just says 910 replies underneath and if I click on that, it asks me to make an account. Perhaps X should allow me to see a thread if it wants me to apply context to what I am seeing. Having their chatbot spout hitler shit doesn’t really increase my desire to create an account.
i’m not a huge long form reader, but neuromancer was quick and terminology reused heavily. you will pick up the slang without too much difficulty. i wouldn’t let the sample paragraph color your view that heavily.
cursor on a $20/month plan (if you burn thru the free credits) or gemini-cli (free) are 2 great ways to try out this kinda stuff for a hobbyist. you can throw in v0 too, $5/month free credits. susana’s free tier can give you a db as well.
its got stronger privacy out of the box than stock firefox, modern design, big fan of vertical tabs myself and it now has basic tab folders if enabled by flags. ubo/bpc both work nicely.

I really like perplexity. It’s now my default search. there are ways to get perplexity pro for extremely cheap. I recommend those with a passing interest try it out.
lire ios app can offline sync and can pull the original article instead of the rss stub. i use it with a local freshrss instance that i have accessible via tailscale
they can be used to talk to any other ai. but you can’t easily activate it via voice/touch on the device. i’m unaware of any bt device that allows you to activate AI of choice.
giving them $13/month is not being hostile to them, it’s being a long term customer. they have exactly the relationship they want with you,
minus your adblocking. i too pay for premium, run a pihole and use ubo. i pay for premium because the company sells a quality product at a good price and adfree. sponsor segments is another thing, but solveable. i also use sponsorblock and have a docker setup to autoskip segments on devices connected to my wifi. but out of all streaming services out there, yt actually seems like the least vampiric.
that is not what they do on hot ones. sean is an intelligent interviewer and their team goes above and beyond to find interesting lore in people’s past to showcase. guests are routinely impressed.
