I guess Goggle must be waging war on Free Code front-ends again. Both NewPipe and PipePipe have stopped being able to play YouTub videos on my Android, sometime in the last 24 hours. At least Invidio.us was still working on my laptop last night, and is working in my mobile browser for now.

Sara's Costume Codex series does a thoughtful, sex positive critique of 7 of 9's costume in Voyager. Focusing on whether it suits her character, or the show's themes, or contributes to its worldbuilding;

The great thing about YouTub is that when it comes to web video, it's got pretty much everything. The biggest problem with YouTub is that it's got pretty much everything, and most of it is puerile garbage, AI slop, and ads disguised as "content". Or in some cases, all 3 in 1 video.
It's like a backyard pool after a party for spoilt trust fund kids. Full of lukewarm vomit and bits of poo, but with the occasional gem in there if you can be bothered to sieve it out.

Current interests include #videogames, #MagicTheGathering, #TTRPGs, #WebVideo, #musicals, and #jazz. I'm on an interesting physical and mental health journey, I love traveling, and my spouse and I are #foodies who like to cook at home.
I'm interested in chatting with the people on this server because as a #newcomer to Canada, I'd like to make friends as an adult... which is SUPER hard. Do you want to be friends or at least acquaintances? Ask me a question; I'll tell you no lies.

"The way I think of an oligarchy is of a group of powerful people kind of acting in unison."
