IIRC, no, they don’t. They put the onus of proving the project is legit on the project maker and on the backers to be vigilant not falling for too good to be true projects.

Over the years kickstarter has become just another big marketing platform for big brands (for their niche) and pushing out smaller projects.

As a former serial backer, over the years I “only” have backed 40 or so (I don’t remember the exact number and don’t want to check now) and only 2 that failed to deliver. One, in hindsight, is blatantly a scam and kickstarter didn’t do anything about it. The other one that didn’t deliver is just mismanagement. At least it looked like it. Could still be a scam.

I haven’t checked how big the ones that I still frequent there (like /r/manybaggers and /r/onebag) but they do still have organic real people posts. Anything news, tech, or politics, anything of that size, I just abandon any hope they’re not troll infested and LLM bots. Not to mention meme subs and themed artwork subs. Just full of vote farming bots. I need the art source, you dinguses!

On the bright side, /r/sbcgaming have a comms here and can also tie into retrogaming

As well as flashlights.

I’m in the process of listening to the album. Mind you, that album is the same-ish age as me.

By Back Side of the Moon, I’m convinced this can be in the OG Deus Ex game. Or maybe System Shock.

Oh I’m just referring to Steam games. I’m a PC gamer just because I don’t buy consoles (because they’re expensive lol) and Steam just have great discounts compared to PlayStation, Xbox and Switch.

For full priced games, which used to be only $60 USD, now somehow $80-$90 — thanks Nintendo — is far too expensive for me. $45 too. $30 is starting to be okay. Oh and pardon me for not saying where I’m from but my country got cheaper regional pricing on Steam so I just use USD prices like tiers of pricing.

Thankfully demos are coming back. At least that’s the trend I see with indie titles

Thinking about it a bit more, some AAA publishers also are bringing demos back too

From what I can see in both subreddits, it’s mostly buggy and failed patching as far as I can see for those sticking with revanced.

I’m unsure on vulnerabilities but if the recommended app version is old enough or not working on bypassing using newer versions, I’m sure is not good.

Also I forgot to mention this previously but in revanced aubreddit the mention of morphe is a subreddit bannable offence. At least that’s what the morphe fans are saying. Personally the ones egging on revanced is childish but I can and can’t properly vouch.

A bit of my history of how I knew all these

I started to use URV (I think that stands for universal revanced) because that took base revanced manager and added ways to easily use different patch repos. Back then it’s because I was still patching xitter app. So I already wasn’t using the revanced manager for a few weeks but still use their repo on that URV.

Then I saw a weird post in revanced sub about some dev tiff. A month from that post I somehow got to see a morphe post in the revanced sub so I tried morphe and stuck around a bit in morphe’s sub. That’s how I know what happened so I decided to trust the morphe guys.

Technical wise I just have no idea how differing they are. I just stick with the results I personally get.

Edit: oh my the tone of my two comments is night and day to me lol

Don’t use revanced. The backbone of the dev team moved to morphs now, and so do other modders that used to dev using revanced.

There was a bunch of drama that’s worthy for Lemmy but stuck in reddit that I don’t care to bring here.

It got easier to patch things in some ways, but having known how to do it “the complex way” with vanced and revanced before I feel like some is lost in translation.

But overall it’s a lot better with morphe, the patches against megacorps efforts to block access comes quicker than revanced, and the YouTube minimum app requirement now moved up

Yeah I was ready to bring out my pitchfork and light my torch, but this just seems like a weird product by a pasta sauce brand

I thought that’s what Shorts are? A TikTok copycat

Could it be it’s some kind of narcissism?

it’s an effective way to get someone’s attention

There’s still hope for the rest of the world

IIRC somewhere they also explained it in plain English what the sorting methods do. My layman brain thinks that’s a kind of algorithm.

Kindly correct this layman if I’m misunderstanding :)

Edit 2: I checked the contact page for the dev and went through an archive site to check, and yep, I did recall correctly. it is the same extension. glad that the dev is back maintaining the firefox extension again! best youtube debullshittificator extension IMO

Edit: I’ve checked the version history for the firefox extension and now I’m doubting myself. am I crazy? (yes, I am) was it another extension I’m thinking of?

Wait, hold on. Enhancer for Youtube is back on Firefox? Correct me if I’m wrong, but IIRC the dev didn’t update the extension for firefox for a long time due to some policies mozilla have with extensions, and IIRC it has been stuck at 2.5 something whereas the chromium version gotten the 3.0.

I’ve had to make do with another youtube extension since it keep bugging out.

this is great news!

Idk why but this is sort of funny to me.

The FBI too recommends adblockers as part of general web browsing security.

The regulations won’t come from S. Korea in the case of Samsung. And I doubt any other big market for Samsung is going to regulate them as well.

It’s just a fucking shit show. I specifically gotten my s24u because of good lock and the BT stylus. Shouldn’t have trusted the Koreans when they’re already boring cyberpunk dystopia before anyone else

Nice. Well actually I know that they offer linux preinstall when I occasionally look at their sales on their regional site time to time. It’s good to see affirmation that they will continue to offer no winslop option.

Now if I can buy it cheaper empty without microslop spyware installed on it, that would be great

they let Copilot run tests and it all passed, no worries

Does screen sharing works on the web browser? I might do discord in a container in a Firefox fork if it does work well.
