I have a media server that I use and if I'm going to watch something I think that's the only way to go. With things being the way they are though I'm starting to think that we should just return to books. The "content" industry is just a gambit to extract money from people while turning their brains off.
Lol this is exactly where my mind went
Someone needs to make a browser extension that hides any article with "experts say" in the title
To be clear I wouldn't give them my money even if they did offer all the same features.
it just freeloads
I watch a number of creators that YT has demonetized so I'm not worried about it.
YT can clearly see what people want in these apps. They simply need to provide the exact same functionality and set a price. They won't though because they want control and data as well.
Youtube Premium offers a fraction of the benefits of something like Newpipe.
Yeah that's my point. Hollywood has ceased to be a creative industry. It's a rehash, reboot industry with box ticking producers focused on merchandising rights toy sales etc. There's very few interesting ideas tbese days.
One thing I've noticed with newer movies is they do a lot more "tell, don't show" than old movies.
The writing sucks which is why movies seem like stream of consciousness time wasters with no stakes, fake emotions and CGI explosions. When the writers went on a strike in Hollywood I actually laughed. ChatGPT can write better scripts than what Hollywood has been churning out lately.
It really does feel like movies are dumbing down.
I think this is a combination of armchair directors in the boardroom trying to actualize their market research and writers actually being less smart and creative. It would explain why everything is a prequel, sequel, soft reboot, universe expansion or some other vehicle for recycled IP.
It's free/libre, open source and has accurate doppler radar and forecasts. It's one of those get what you pay for deals except he doesn't sell your data.
Wx is available for free on fdroid. You're welcome.
I have a thinkpad that runs this. It's a great little distro.
