    Doing “something good” doesn’t suddenly make up for all the people they’ve killed, maimed, raped, etc. Isn’t it crazy that cops can do this all the time and nothing happens? Not acknowledging there’s a problem that people are ignoring is crazy.

    You can’t trust a cadre of people who have been proven to be likely to have an authoritarian personality to be the arbiter of justice in high-stress situations and hand them lethal weapons - especially not after training them that every single person they meet could be dangerous.

    He shot someone running away in the back, I guess because he didn’t feel like running after him even though he’s both mandated to be in shape and monetarily compensated for it. Generally that’s seen as worthless coward behaviour, but it looks like @0Xero0 loves that type of thing!

    You must also believe we should execute people instead of putting them on trial, because that’s what happens every time a cop kills someone for a simple traffic violation or for running away/freezing up because they’re scared.

    No, I find it ridiculous that you are recommending that others use such a woefully bloated method simply because you remember it taking 5 minutes and have used it for years.

    I don’t intend to change your mind, I intend to imply to others reading that this is a silly and bloated way to do it that most people shouldn’t follow unless they actually require Bluestacks for something, such as app testing or to use an Android app that contains specific functionality not available on PC.

    Also, I remember when NewPipe was ass, so it also took that dev a “really long time” to come up with a functional app. Not really sure what your point is other than to attempt to delegitimize a solution that is better than yours. :b

    I’ve never had that issue with Piped or Invidious, though sometimes I’ve had a specific instance not load. There are literal dozens of instances though.

    However, I’ve had numerous issues with Bluestacks and it’s a huge memory hog, not to mention it’s overkill to install an entire OS just for 1 singular purpose that can be done just fine on your native OS.

    It’s a layer of abstraction that’s almost entirely unnecessary except for 1 use case: watching YouTube without ads.
