Yeah I’m not surprised or angry about it, isn’t this basically what has always happened? Like at some point we had elevator operators, some company automated the elevator and now there are basically zero elevator operators.
This is just happening all the time, like when I was a kid every gas station had people working at the station. Nowdays most stations around me are completely without workers, it’s all self checkout (like supermarkets, McDonalds, etc).
I actually had it the other way around, I wanted to learn to understand and speak Spanish a lot better. My wife is half Spanish and her family speaks zero English. Anyway started to learn with Duolingo and my Spanish did improve. But after a while I got to a point where most of the mistakes I made where spelling errors. I don’t care how to spell in Spanish, I’m not going to write them, I just want to understand it and be able to respond. There is no option (afaik) to just learn the meaning of the words.
For me the link is dead but this one works

Did you see that John Oliver piece on Musk?
I have been using revanved for years, never really had major issues.
Also just not using the service isn’t going to change anything. I think Reddit was a good example of how companies really don’t listen to their users.
So I’ll just keep using it without ads, once it doesn’t work anymore I’ll just switch to the next solution or stop using YouTube. I do have Nebula so maybe I’ll just, only use that at some point.
Not sure how helpful this is but in the past I used a Firefox addon called check 4 change
You can let Firefox monitor a website in the background for change.
A con of this solution is that it only works when Firefox is running.
You could also try to maybe automate it with

Yeah when I got my first smartphone and whatsapp wasn’t around yet I had to pay like 10 or 15 cents per sms. So when WhatsApp became an option everybody and their mother jumped ship and joined. For a while sending an sms and getting back I’m on WhatsApp was a thing.
Nowadays I think sms is basically part of your plan an for most plans unlimited. But they milked it way too hard back in the day. So most people just don’t use it at all.
I was going to suggest this, you just need to not worry about the Chinese government probably having access to your data. On the other hand let’s not pretend the US gouvernement isn’t doing the same.
I don’t know if Xiaomi still sells them, but they used to have fitness trackers without a screen. I really liked that, much longer battery and no annoying notifications on your arm.
I really really liked this guy’s video on note taking apps

It slowly spirals completely off the rails, in a great way
I feel it’s somewhere in the middle. Like your book example only works if you already have the book. If this is a model that is a few gigabytes of data, but it works for every movie or audio file it can still be useable. In that case it’s not that you have to send the book first, but you do need to have the same dictionary.

The whole tree network thing is not as proven as many people think.
