Poe's law strikes again. "What changed my mind were the tankies on hexbear who consistently were the most knowledgable on a topic" is just so on the nose that it might just be what some people actually think.

In what way? It works quite alright for me.

"Update UI for PNP launch megaphone." is pretty unmistakable ;)

We don't know how long it'll be exactly but "a few weeks" is a good assumption here.

Firefox has a PDF reader built in these days.

We'll see in a few weeks time; hence my recommendation to wait a little ;)

Signal v7 with username IDs is right around the corner. I'd suggest you wait a few weeks if you can.

It's Apple maps. It works but it's not great.

I was introduced to it by an IRL friend of mine very early on and was very sceptical. I then tried it many months later and what actually convinced me most are its "advanced" features. They're features that should obviously be in any search engine but since there's been practically 0 innovation in this space in the past decade or so, this is very refreshing.

The results being on par with Google at the worst also helps.

Pretty much everything about it is really great. The only thing that's not great is that you're required to identify yourself with every search. I'm not aware of any alternative for a paid search engine though. They claim to not log or otherwise abuse your PII and it's believable but there's still a risk.
I guess the price is also kinda high but it's justified AFAICT.

Btw: [email protected].

The simplest solution to following a singular user is probably RSS. No additional software services required; only a generic RSS reader on your client device.

For Mastodon it's instance.tld/@user.rss.

If they weren't comfortable with not getting YT ad revenue, they wouldn't be uploading their content to alternative sites.

Relying on YT as the gatekeeper to your entire livelihood also has a cost. It's not trivial to calculate but I imagine it's greater than the loss of AdSense money. There's a reason many people who rely on video content creation to survive hedge through the likes of Nebula, Floatplane or, indeed, Odyssey.
