I feel kinda insecure about my coloring atm which is why I apperantly am having a thing for black&withe doodle again- but it fits since they're all inspired by the Manga Flashbacks~ Also I am currently having this headcanon of Shalnark, were he can't show empathy and feel with others, cuz it was always really, well not weird, but interesting for me that even as child after Sarassa's dead he smiled really fast again. And he was the one getting Franklin and the other's off from the Talk about Uvo and Nobunaga.

So I had a popular post explaining how to get these two apps but Tumblr deleted it, probably because it advocates for illegal activities like *gasp* internet piracy!

Well, thank goodness for the Internet Archive! Here's the link to the original, which I'll also copy below.

While this is hilarious, if you have Android, you can go to this website[link below] and download the cracked Spotify Premium app. It doesn’t let you download songs for offline listening, but it let’s you choose what songs you listen to, has no ads, and has unlimited skips! The developer has been working on this for years and puts out a new version whenever Spotify updates something (or tries to change something to make the hack stop working). In the past it has been a little spotty with the occasional crashes, but the current version is very reliable!

Remember kids, internet piracy is a victimless crime!

(Bonus tip: for ad-free YouTube on Android, install Newpipe[link below], a free and open-source YouTube front-end. You can even listen to videos with your phone locked! For ad-free everything else, switch to Firefox Mobile and add the Ublock Origin adblocker)

You got mad at some guy that called me a pup and he made fun of me so now every some stranger thinks it's okay

So YouTube's bad updates have officially pushed me to Firefox, but I wanna break down some of their recent updates

The first thing they did was removing people's ability to watch videos if adblockers were present, which is borderline legal

There is no law in the US, where Google is hosted, that requires a user to disable adblockers on certain websites, meaning that YouTube blocking people from using adblockers and paying for their product/watching extensive ads instead isn't technically legal, but also isn't technically illegal

This is also the Adpocalypse 2, with ads being anywhere from 10 seconds to a full minute, and ads also run at the beginning of videos, the end of videos, as midrolls, as the starts of every chapter, and when you move your location in the video -

even on some videos that've disabled ads and use sponsorships - and these also run occasionally on videos marked for sleep-aids such as ASMR videos and on unmonetized videos that shouldn't have ads as the person who put up the video doesn't get paid

The next problematic update they put up was creating an artificial 5-second delay for Firefox users (this can be remedied with www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), 5000, 0.001) in uBO), which is in violation of antitrust law

What pushed me to Firefox is that the new update for Chrome (and all Chrome-based browsers), Manifest v3 will completely disable any extensions not directly authorized by Google, and this includes completely disabling uBlock Origin, which forces people not on Firefox or TorBrowser to be bombarded with ads and data scraping.

After moving to Firefox, I've noticed another thing that I'm 90% sure is another violation of antitrust law: In Chrome, there's 1080p. In Firefox, it's split into 1080p and 1080p Premium, reducing the intended bitrate and making videos visibly lower quality - requiring people to pay for YouTube Premium in order to use YouTube as intended.

Woe, SQUIP OCs be upon ye.

Hm?
