  Oh wow I just found a PeerTube account which recently started to mirror a ton of YouTube channels. I found some of my favorite YouTube channels there (Veritasium, Brodie Robertson, Broogli, The Hated One). It's worth to take a look at, maybe you can also find yours there, or if not, you can also submit channels: https://veelvo.org/a/mirrorservice/video-channels #YouTube #PeerTube #YouTubeChannel #Veritasium #BrodieRobertson #TheHatedOne #PewDiePie #ArminVanBuuren #UmmetOzcan #FosseryTech

  I've heard this song a lot in the radio 8-9 years ago, and it came into my mind again, can't stop playing it in my mind in the past few days. Sweet nostalgia... https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=JzwBmZhvnSQ It sounds even better now, after this many years, now that I can actually relate with the lyrics. I'm getting "old" (only in my twenties but still lol) I guess. I know, for most people I hear talking about music, only the songs of 80s and 90s are...

  Dare say something negative about AI to a normie, and they will educate you that "AI is the future", "If it doesn't give good answer, you're prompting it wrong. It's always your fault!", "You'll be left behind if you don't learn to use it."
