Deep cut? / Not a meme? 🤪

Looks like you’re almost there. I think you just need to add an instance under “Custom Locations”.

There’s also more details in this (apologies) Reddit thread. Link

I think it’s an ongoing thing with Google blocking Invidious and them then finding away around Google back and forth. Probably depends on the instance and how much hassle whoever runs it wants to deal with.

Lately I’ve found that, https://inv.nadeko.net/, works decently.

Again, kind of fiddly if you’re looking for a pick up and play option but… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you're cool with Invidious you can use instances via the Yattee app. (Not sure if it's available in every territory though.)

You... you shut up. 🥲

I’ve had a similar experience and tried to adjust my road related interactions with cars when walking or cycling not in an aggressive way but in a “I get to occupy space too” kind of way.

Just because it’s the “road” and you’re in a car and I’m not doesn’t mean that you’re royalty. Take your time, exist, make them wait.

“It's tempting to say we're stepping into a new world where all forms of media cannot be trusted,”…

Yes, we are and it’s shit for the human mind to have to constantly do a double take on everything to make sure it’s actually real.

“but in fact, we're being given further proof of what was always the case: Recorded media has no intrinsic truthfulness, and we've always judged the credibility of information from the reputation of the messenger.”

Sure subjectivity, biases, and other factors skew things, that’s a thing. But I’m sorry, “Any information humanity has ever preserved in any format is worthless.”, is quite the fucking claim.

Been using Bear Blog for a few years now and it’s been very cool as a small static blog platform.

No excess menus, no ad junk. An enjoyable experience all around.

Adobe sucks but InDesign is still pretty much the standard; it begrudgingly does a pretty good job.

Affinity Publisher is coming along nicely though. And yeah Scribus is not too bad either.

Word being a word processor also sucks at document layout. Most software that isn't made for laying out documents suck at it, but people all try. My god do they try...

Excel is okay as long as it stays in its lane.

It is not okay if you’ve ever worked in a printshop or do graphic design and people send in newsletters or brochures or some shit done within Excel.

Excel is many things; it is not fit to layout documents. Blegh.

But where else do I get my malt vinegar fix?
