Honestly, while I appreciate the Mullvad initiative, as a Mullvad VPN customer, their choices still primarily serve up thinly disguised advertising as the top search responses, compared to my own self hosted SearXNG results: https://github.com/searxng/searxng

What browser are you using and can you please post a site with embedding that does not work for you.

I have Librewolf, Ublock set to medium mode, libredirect Redirect Type set to both, Embed Frontend set to Invidious but with no instance selected.

Most sites with embedded youtube have ‘Watch on Youtube’ bottom left and you can just right click and select Redirect in librediract. Some don’t have that but most allow right click where you can select the url that can be pasted into FreeTube.

You can set libredirect to use FreeTube.

If you can’t clearly admit why it happened you are deliberately avoiding being held accountable, because if you can fix it you know the cause!

I am reminded about the catchphrase for GrayJay: Follow Creators, Not Platforms

I would like to suggest an alternate perspective, that digital media be beholden to protocols not platforms.

In other words lets focus on the drivers of competition…most evidence suggests that piracy goes down in response to easily accessible and affordable market conditions.

Bacteria are a significant part of the eco system, and can have a significant impact, but we are the deadliest being on the planet…by a long shot!

Yet another corporate self-serving move that should highlight the need for de-googling, but with a monopolist controlling information flow how many will notice, and if they do, how many will recognize there are counter options, even if made difficult by the dominant web player…I would like to say it is blatantly time to break up big tech, but realistically I can’t see that happening, given regulatory capture of US politics, on both sides, as an outside observer.

I guess for me, as neither Israeli or Palestinian, the first clarification required is why the IDF is ‘interrogating’ UNRWA workers in Gaza, particularly in circumstances where the IDF is known to kill aid workers, be they UNRWA or unrelated international relief workers. Is this a quirk of language or something far more sinister, particularly when the interrogator is also being disguised.

Secondary to that, if UNRWA is subject to HAMAS interference, conducted by force, not cooperation, why is it that under the new law, UNRWA will not “operate any institution, provide any service, or conduct any activity, whether directly or indirectly,” in the sovereign territory of Israel. In effect, UNRWA’s activities in East Jerusalem will be terminated and the body’s powers will be transferred to Israel’s responsibility and control." To me the new law disrupts required aid, contrary to humanitarian law, rather than tackle claimed HAMAS actions of interference.

The third missing element is unrestricted independent transparency and verification, which as I understand it the IDF does not allow. Hence IDF claims can’t be regarded as creditable, but rather more likely propagandist, given the control the IDF exerts, including preventing external independent media access and the killing of independent journalists.

I appreciate the /s, the sad fact is that we don’t need AI to figure out a ‘solution’ for climate change, we already know how to do that, the issue is the lack of political will to curb emissions, which is not something AI can fix.

Civilized countries should never be standing firmly with genocide, irrespective of who engages in it.

There are lots of choices, but personally I would go with Linux Mint as something likely familiar and packaged with pretty much all the basics for the use case you outlined.

I guess ‘cool’ depends on personal interest and circumstances.

A house move likely prevents running our Aussie Halloween this year, after being featured on State TV news last year, but I would like to share past family/friends efforts to establish a fun spooky celebration, in circumstances where locally there is not an established tradition, originating because my daughter in-law grew up in North Carolina and she and my eldest son moved here at the height of the pandemic, so I have adopted Halloween as a way to incorporate her fond childhood memories into our local family and local Aussie community traditions, with the help of family members and many talented friends: https://scarymandercove.au/

Pity the details are pay walled.

Perhaps I am incredibly naive, but for me a “Forever mouse” is something you buy, own, and have control absolute over!

This…plus you can ad swipe support.

No, a software or hardware KVM lets you use the same keyboard and mouse across multiple devices.

Have a look at software KVMs, for a similar functionality.

A simple usb KVM should do the trick of easily switching between the two.
