Asking because I know nothing of programming, how hard would it be to write a new firmware for a printer?

I'm pretty sure I'm safe here in Phoenix, cause that's totally where I am. Not Atlanta at all and have never been to Portland...

How to Be Bad at YouTube (lemmings.world)
 

So I am wondering how to be bad at using websites such as YouTube. For example, currently I do most of my youtube viewing on a Ruko Tv, where I never sign it, never comment, and never subscribe. When I select a video and an advertisement that is longer than 5 seconds shows up I will hit the back button and select the video again. I repeat this process till I get a the 5 sec ad or the video starts.

I assume this is not how google (or YouTubers) wish me to access their platform, but is there anyway I could be more disruptive to the business model?

why won't Lemmy let me comment or post unless Idisconnecte from my vpn in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
