A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ever tried looking at youtube while in incognito mode? What's popular is a hellscape of lowbrow garbage that makes reality tv look downright erudite. I still like the site when it shows me all the channels I've curated, but otherwise, goddamn...
I've been thinking of switching to Invidious or something and using youtube primarily via subscriptions. I'm kind of getting sick of the whole 'recommended' frontpage thing.

I'd recommend using Piped instead https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped
It's more modern and doesn't fail on 1080 or higher.
My god, it’s 50% movie/TV ads. The rest is clickbait with thumbnails for idiots.
Wow. I thought the frontpage was bad back when I made a choice to consciously curate years ago, but I had no idea this is what it turned into.
