Looking for an alternative to reddit
Still laughing my ass off… Imagine trying to Google for solutions to “windows app” :) :)
But we live in a world where Muskie renamed Twitter to X, so…some serious brain damage going on all over the place.
Im starting to feel smarter now, as an effect of these guys becoming dumber and dumber, so I guess thats a plus.
Signed up for subscription service, realized you are getting exploited…
Well… Yes.
For me its been almost 0%. :) Very happy with it.
Tempest Rising, the new modern command & conquer game. I really like it, and struggled for weeks how to beat the computer in skirmish on hard as GDF.
Turns out i hadnt realized the huge value of comms…
Flatpak has annoyances like sometimes not following your icon theme, or just generally looking out of place because not picking up system defaults.
It works but I avoid it. On Arch Linux, there is a huge AUR repository where users have made native packages, and thats usually much better than Flatpak. But on Ubuntu, Flatpak is the only option sometimes.
Why do people want to ask complete strangers instead of making their own decision?
That must mean that they value the opinion of total strangers more then their own. Isnt that a mindfuck.
Strong nostalgia.
Its an app? No i still have a dumb tv. 50 inch plasma that has lasted 10 years now i think. And I like that its not smart, so it doesnt talk to random stuff on the internet.
I guess I will replace it soon but when I do, that tv gets no internet access. :)
I was using the official YouTube app since I wanted to use chromecast to get a video up on my tv.
I havent used revanced, seems interesting also. But Newpipe just does what I need so im happy.
Already have network wide adblocking but doesnt stop YouTube ads in their official app.
Yeah I have a few colleagues that did that too. But I dont want to support big tech by being paying user.
I tried YouTube today for the first time in years. Its unwatchable. The frog must have been slowly boiling for years to have so many people accept what Youtube is now. Just wow.
I managed to watch about 10 minutes but had about 5 ads during that time, taking up several minutes of my time. It broke my focus and I forgot what the video was about.
Back to Newpipe.
I wanted to like them but I dont know, I think they are more natural at the top still.
I have a colleague who even saves all his tabs using a plugin, just in case he will need them at some point.
I dont know, I never have problems finding what I need so dont need to save anything.
Tab groups are great though, I need them so I can have groups with our aws accounts at work. That way i can just quickly get in to any account.
And its a computer program! It has as much value as getting “we are sorry to see you go” on a web page.
Lol. :)
Depends on your setup. If you use a 4k screen with fractional scaling in Gnome, Pycharm and all Jetbrain editors have blurry text and run under xwayland.
But vs code works fine, also zed and many others.
I would check out Pop OS instead of mint. But you can easily boot both of them from usb stick and look around and get a feeling before you choose.
I remember the chin diapers and people walking around with them on their chins. Lols.
I think Java is worse, I still have nightmares from those Java interface names… Jesus.
Stop using that shit, your life will be better for it.
