  • Invidious is an alternative to YouTube. It scrapes the content and presents it to you without trackers or googlerithms, or adverts.

    So obviously in a big cat-mouse game with Google over it working or not.

    Edit: it’s federated, I think - or at least instance based, so anyone* can set one up and stick it online.

    *anyone with servers and the hacker chops to be a network admin






  • The best solution for the people of the PRC and the State of Taiwan (RoC), and to undercut US imperial goals in the Asian Pacific is for the PRC to recognise an indepent Taiwan, in return for not being excluded from semi conductors and having free passage through territorial waters (and throw in recognition of PRC claims in South China Sea if you like).

    Without the threat of invasion and a normalisation of ties both will help both economically and socially, and the shared cultural links will pull them together over time; and it ties the US’s hands in meddling.






  • Ironically I’m intrigued by Edge of Eternity, and non-ironically think that the draft formats have been really good of late (though having small child has meant less partaking of them since Duskmorne).

    Guess I don’t have to follow story and all, but I’ve enjoyed it since I found books came in fat packs.


  • My dragon-man… Not been a good year (or two) to be a (former)planeswalker I liked.

    Still, he died being what he loved.

    Impressed that the end to this one felt more in line with the rest of it all. Not too rushed or anything.

    I’m just finding it harder and harder to care. Will I even make it through till return to Lorwyn? Maybe I should quit till then to check back in.
