Social media sucks, but we can fix it. I'm already working on trying to fix it. This is some of my better recent work if I do say so myself. Also catch an extended version exclusive to the audio-only podcast on Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Anchor, etc.

@billblake2018 which sites might those be?
@thedesertlynx @billblake2018 I got just a blank window viewing that odysee page. I use NoScript to selectively allow JavaScript on a per-page basis, and while I'm not as strict as Bill, I generally don't enable it without a good reason.
@thedesertlynx odysee.com. I click on it and get a blank screen. I look at the source and there's no text there,
@thedesertlynx (Politico.com, I think, also does this, but that's hardly our problem. :) )
@billblake2018 hmm try YouTube then

@thedesertlynx I don't have the data for youtube. In any case, that only solves the problem this one time, it does nothing about the encouragement of the unsecure technology that is javascript.
@thedesertlynx Yes, same here. I just get a site that is loading and nothing happens. Youtube works, but I am very sensitive to videos.
Would it be possible for you to make a transcript in text format and post it here?
I read much faster than someone talking, so having the text would be a great time saver and a great bandwidth saver as well! =)
@h4890 Might not be the correct audience then. For some more instructional videos I do have transcripts, but rarely for these because most of what I say isn't scripted.
@thedesertlynx Probably true. Do you have audio only? It would be great to be able to download a mp3 file.
@h4890 yes I do, in fact the audio-only version is an exclusive extended edition

@thedesertlynx Great! =) That worked for me.
@thedesertlynx I may have said this before, but in case I haven't: I do not read web sites that require me to use javascript to see their text.
