That’s right, the tailored homepage isn’t present in Invidious.

I’m in the same boat of having educated the algorithm to fairly reliably show me things I actually want to see; I use my Invidious instance mostly as a backup for when the YouTube gods are in a foul mood towards Firefox or Ublock or the color of my shirt or whatever

I love going back and replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS2; awesome memories there. I really want to try out the OpenGOAL project

I’m currently moseying through Okami HD on my Switch. I’m enjoying it, though having a 4 month old limits how much I can play

Google just wants you to submit to their authority and do things the way they want.

Invidious and Piped are great alternative front ends; no ads, no tracking, no algorithm, no stupid throttling.

Piped.video is the main Piped instance, and I’ve got Invidious running at ourtube.roguewave.observer

Google sure is. Brave is a chromium-based browser - a browser that is built off of Google Chrome, so anything Google wants to put in their web browser to track you and devour your internet-soul is also in Brave and all the other “web browsers” that are just chromium skins like Edge.

Also, it was sent from a no reply address, so I can’t reply and continue communicating on the matter.

I’ll have Sir Patrick Stewart soliloquizing about space followed by a rad fanfare as I get breakfast.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

One day we’ll have faster-than-light spaceships and computers the size of a human hair, and we’ll still be making Doom run on them

Thanks for the advice here, folks.

I’ve got a technical roadblock getting my instance installed, and with stress at my job (of course also considering valid concerns raised here), I am not going to pursue running a fediverse instance at this point in time.

My memory probably is more of early Web 2; I was born in the late 90s, so I suppose I missed the really wild west days.

Flash games were great though; it seemed like every company that even slightly catered to people under 30 had a website with some game on it.
