Vampire's Kiss is the definitive Cage film

when is Google going to allow Safari on ChromeOS? :)

i have one on my key ring :D

seems fair

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry6kpYFHnxs I am not a geopolitical expert nor do I have much knowledge of the history of the mess that is this region but I'm pretty sure nobody in Gaza nor the West Bank is remotely interested in a two state solution involving "peaceful coexistence" with Israel

lol. There are a couple of options that don't suck.

I started with freetube - https://freetubeapp.io/ - it's a decent cross platform client.

https://invidious.io is pretty cool

But I like an app, and since I'm in the Apple ecosystem I'm currently playing with Play on all my devices - https://apps.apple.com/au/app/play-save-videos-watch-later/id1596506190 It allows you to stack videos for later viewing, categorize them and then play them back via Invidious

I'm also looking at running my own Invidious server

I'll admit that I've started watching youtube videos via filtering anonymisers so they really have no idea what I'm watching ¯_(ツ)_/¯ makes little difference to me, probably makes a small difference to the content creators but I ain't watching no ads and I ain't giving Google tracking data

every site (well not every site obviously) has their place and their time. I remember MySpace but I do not miss it

i was mostly a lurker but good call. will search while it's an option!

sure it can. since deleting all accounts the only reason I ever visit Reddit these days is because of search. so yeah make sure I never have a reason to come back

well technically they probably were - when they exploded

deleted my account on Sunday. never going back.

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/07-ranking-algo.html I guess that it provides some metric of how relevant a community is and I presume in the future it could be tied into ranking of ratings of posts and comments

a question remain - while I think the requirement to engage to be counted as active will certainly increase engagement generally - will it lead to "quality" content and comments? not that I currently know exactly how you quantify quality

I think there's a greater chance of lemmy users interacting rather than just lurking because of the requirement of posting or commenting to be counted as active which should in turn help grow the community
