you make me think i might, who knows. It looks and feels as a half-blocked element by something tho. The lay-over pop-up thing is getting thru, it’s content is not. Now I found out that I can “click” some of the whiteness (turns into a hand), but don’t know what I’ld be agreeing to.

First there’s this: which the only option is “review options”. There is no “close it for now” or whatever. It’s not a choice but a command.

Some Google services are not linked Choose whether to share your data across YouTube and other Google services

Review choices

If clicking the review choices, I get a blank window with some “ghost elements” and when I inspect some of these it for example says “yes, link”. But I’ld rather not. Tried turning off all my extensions and refreshing but that still didn’t render it readable to me.

Yeah i used to do that. Then i got hooked by how easy it became to just stream all the time. Local made me feel like i got stuck on the same music after a while a bit too much, and getting new music required effort. I became lazy.

I honestly don’t care if it’s a user issue or a platform issue. It’s annoying af.

Yes, EU, they probably have to. Thing is i can’t see a thing on that pop-up, something somewhere is blocking it. Turned off ublock, still not showing, turned off i don’t care about cookies, still shows nothing. So it’s a white, empty pop-up on which i can’t click a thing and can’t get beyond it.

i think it’s whoever made the playlist i dunno. It’s mildly infuriating to me anyhow that someone would post a “full album …” and compose it with videos which all together do not form the album they claim it is in the title of the playlist.

How much would we save if we’d somehow be able to debloat and deshittify the Internet and all devices? Climate impact, overconsumption of unnecessary crap, mental health care…

I have the impression ad block literacy has declined a lot. 10-15 years ago I’ld be surprised if someone of friends, peers, same age group people didn’t have ad blocking. Now… I’m often surprised if they do, because it became less common to “put in the effort” of using ff with ublock.

Do they somehow calculate in this the value off the youtube harvested user data that serves other Google branches? No, right?

that was interesting, thanks!

there’s still a decent chance it’s only industrially biodegradable: at higher temperatures and pressures than a good ol’ home compost pile normally ever gets near. It could still be a bit infuriating.

Glass bottles are not always single use. Countries have systems to recollect them (empty bottles hold a face value), they get factory-cleaned and quality tested and each bottle can run for 20 or more cycles. The issue is more that it increases the transportation and handling costs and emissions because of weight. Bottles that don’t pass the test anymore but did stay in the system can get near 100% recycled, tho the issues there are that it’s usually downgrade (make dark bright again = hard) and very energy intensive (costs more energy to recycle than to make glass from scratch). Anyhow: not single use.
