Illegally? Is training that actually illegal under any current laws?

Oh my. THANK YOU for that edgeblocker! Going to get that on every computer in my home.

Yeah I'm not "the boss" of my parents. My dad was very tech savvy, but he doesn't have the same memory and cognition as he used to so when I set it up nice he likes it, but any friction sets him off to "solve" the problem... By doing some random totally different thing that doesn't so much solve the problem as "gets it working, sort of" with a browser he recognizes. Then because there are ads he loses interest and just puts on the 24/7 news cycle.

Some of us made Gmail accounts long before Youtube even existed, and still rely on youtube for tutorials and other things of that nature that aren't found anywhere else.

Don't be a pretentious dick about it.

I got a question in my head just now.

DNS sinkhole doesnt help with youtube ads but UBO does. DNS doesn't help with twitch ads and neither UBO does. Why is that youtube doesn't do the same what twitch does?

On a side note, my ads on twitch are basically "ad is in progress" screen and not an actual ad. And lately YT has couple of seconds with no video in the beginning as if it loads (1Gbit connection) but eventually loads up and plays with no interruptions after.

I was just thinking that I should host a "how to" peertube instance.

On the off chance that you have not heard that Linux is way more user friendly now, I recommend switching over. Especially if you are able to update the computer frequently.

Thank you. I have heard that, and I'm interested in switch my home computer and "Netflix and YouTube on the tv" computer over.

Any recommendations on where to start with that?

I used Linux as a 11 year old back in.... Late 90's? And it was not user friendly but I was so cool it didn't matter....

Until I couldn't get a game other than Quake 2 running on my lan network.

Haven't checked on it since but I'm overdue and ready.

You were a good 10 years ahead of me. I was using AOL and Netscape on a 386 Pentium back then. I started on Ubuntu, but I dislike Canonical who makes it. Therefore, I would try Linux Mint. It is a Debian distribution. It is good out of box. At this point I would give it to a grandma. If you want to be cool again, there is still Arch and stuff like that, but I have that and maintaining it gets old sometimes because custom built things break more during updates. Linux Mint or Fedora. I also hear good things about OpenSuse but never tried it.

I think that's a great idea. We shouldn't turn away potential users, nor should we mock current YouTube users who might be willing but not have the knowledge to do so.

I'll give Linux Mint a go! Thanks
