You forgot the step where you ignore step 2 and use Firefox.

I really wish he’d changed the title to something like “Bootleg DVDs Are Cheapened In a Weird Way” or something to make it more obvious that this was the case. I had no idea that this was what had happened (though I had wondered while watching the video) until I saw a thread about the video.

I just said I use Linux, I am aware. There were a couple of games I played that had shitty incompatible anticheat, GTAO and The Crew 2. There are a lot of good games out there, I can live without.

Yeah, when I switched from Linux I had to give up Fusion360, and now am using OnShape. I’m also not generally talking about companies, at work I’m still required to use Windows, and that’s kinda understandable, though I could do my job on Linux. I am a creator, and do wish some of the alternatives for CC apps were better, but I also never considered giving money to Adobe, even when I used Windows.

I wouldn’t expect someone to upgrade hardware just to get the newest OS. And yeah, you can run a windows 7 app on windows 10, there’s a compatibility mode in the properties of the exe where you can tell it to run in Windows xyz compatibility mode, though often you won’t need to bother with that, as it’ll just work.

Isn’t Windows like the king of backwards compatibility? I am of the opinion that it’s more people that just like the OS because they’re used to it, not that it’d actually break their workflows. They’d just have to learn a few new ways of doing things, and they don’t want to.

In thinking about this, I have come up with a couple of reasons to not upgrade OSs:

• If the new OS costs money, like Windows used to, yeah I might not buy it if it isn’t enough better. When my new laptop comes with it, I’m not going to go out of the way to downgrade it though.
• If the only OS maker in town was a monopoly (but then again, if there was a monopoly, they’d probably force you to upgrade to continue using your device, almost like what windows is doing, as they really do have a large monopoly on gaming and non-overpriced/somewhat-repairable machines)

Finally, in thinking about this, I’m just so glad Linux exists and is actually finally a usable alternative to Windows.

Is this where I brag about using Linux and therefor being superior?

Honestly, I never and still don’t entirely understand people’s clingy-ness to old OSs. I was happily using Windows 8.1, 10, 11 (less happily), (and now Kubuntu brag successful), while apparently many were clinging to Windows 7. Maybe it’s because I try to be more open to change, or maybe it’s because I just like new and shiny software, but rarely do I cling to old software. The newer versions of windows were the new shiny thing with additional features (some useful, and some annoying), and now Linux is that new shiny thing with a lot of useful features and some annoying things.

P.S. I’m not sure if peertube supports timestamped links (it probably does, it’s friggin peertube), but this would’ve been a time to use that feature, as the relevant part to the title doesn’t begin until 1:48.

LibreOffice is so refreshing after dealing with MSOffice’s bullshit and Google’s web-based solution.

I don’t see how people can go without using dashboards. Considering I’m in America, I use them just about any time I go anywhere, as nearly all automobiles have them.

Real answer: I just have a script that updates everything. I run it manually when stuff needs updating. If a service goes down, I notice when it’s not accessible.

You can also get obsidian to sync using the guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/s/GegPIcBjFg. It’s really good.

I was wondering if a federated alternative existed, neat. Short form video is not for me, but I’m glad that exists for those that like it.

One could argue that without Meta’s investments into the technology, we might never get an open specification at all. With something like Valetudo, it wouldn’t exist without the privacy nightmare that is off-the-shelf robot vacuums.

Yeah, not looking forwards to being in Meta (or any other massive company)'s database or whatever when a friend or family member wears one of these.

I’m not talking about a Meta made pair of glasses. I would never buy those due to the privacy issues. I’m talking about a potential pair of glasses that are open source, or at least privacy focused, and don’t phone home.

I’d want them to use a local database that you’ve created. After you’ve met someone, the glasses could be like “remember this person?” and you could choose to save them or not, or something like that.

No, you could tap shuffle on an album-by-album basis, or on a Playlist with like 10+ tracks or something.

What about disabling the shitty anti-cheat or even just enabling it on Linux so I, as a 27yo, can play the damn game?

I have YouTube bookmarked to go directly to subscriptions and I have revanced configured to open directly to subscriptions. I’ve still seen trending as a tab in the sidebar on the website, and accidentally tapped on it back before vanced existed.

All of that said, I did just check and it’s way more difficult to find now. It’s near the bottom of the sidebar in browser, and iirc it used to have its own frustratingly dedicated tab in the mobile app, which it no longer does.
