  • "Trusted" eMail Providers?

    Jump

  • I've been using Mailbox.org, both private and for my business, for 5 years now. I have nothing bad to say about them or their service.

    Well. I would like to see a referral program! They have a lot of paying customers because of me, but you don't get anything in return.

  • Alternative for YouTube recommendations?

  • No worries!

    I understand that it might not be for everyone. I'm generally speaking against unethical soul sucking algorithms, which is why I don't use social medias (other than this account and one on GoToSocial). However. I find the algorithm for YouTube to be good as long as you stay aware of it.

  • Talk to the person in charge of the meeting room. Every meeting room should have good ventilation, electricity and water. It's like human rights kind of stuff. :D

  • Thank you! I'll look them up. :D

  • I'm fully aware of that, this is partly why I would like to avoid a Google account, even though the only thing I use it for, is YouTube. I don't like Google at all.

    A local-only client (or something that's at least privacy respecting) is what I'm looking for, which is why this I submitted this topic. Do you have any recommendations?

  • That's the client that I've been using for a few years on my Android TV. However. It requires a Google account to work. :/

  • Thank you for the, well.. human reply! :D

    I know all about this, both from a moral and technical standpoint. And I have seen the algorithm do this multiple times, but I'm aware of it, and I only watch wholesome family friendly content, which is mainly about tech, bikes and coffee. I don't care for politics, drama or anything like that, which is why it's quite easy to spot the dark rabbit holes I get presented with from time to time. :)

    Recommendations from friends only work if you have friends. I do get recommended videos on social media (which is the fediverse for me), but it's rare. I actually like checking my inbox, and if I don't feel like watching something there, I just go and see the rekommendations, which is not always good, but they do have some fun stuff from time to time. I have found most of the channels that I subscribe to there.

  • Oh! That is a no go for me then. I only use open source software.

  • Thanks! I'll look into them and the controversy.

  • Thanks! It looks to be limited to phones only, but it seems like, technically speaking, the best option.

  • Didn't you talk about getting a new laptop computer?

  • It always stays in your backpack at home, and your meeting rooms at work don't have electricity?

  • I don't understand. A laptop computer on standby lasts days on battery?

    If I had to regularly use a laptop computer I would charge it every day when I got home. It would just have been part of the daily routine I have when I get back home from work.

  • Cool. I'll check it out!

  • How often do you work for 12-14 hours straight without any access to electricity?

    If Linux is actually of any interest for you, giving up on it because of a few hours of battery life, feels weird for me. Why not invest in a power bank or make it work some other way.

    With that said. You're obviously free to use whatever you want to. I personally can't stand Apple and their incredibly barebones, limited and locked down operating system.

  • Doesn't those work like Piped, that you get recommendations based on the current video your viewing?

    I was talking about the general recommendations that you get based on what you watch over time. :)

  • No. And the dev(s) have said that they refuse to implement such feature. :(
