Is Ubuntu deserving the hate? (lemmy.ml)

Long story short, I have a desktop with Fedora, lovely, fast, sleek and surprisingly reliable for a near rolling distro (it failed me only once back around Fedora 34 or something where it nuked Grub). Tried to install on a 2012 i7 MacBook Air… what a slog!!! Surprisingly Ubuntu runs very smooth on it. I have been bothering all...

Pretty much this, they don’t deserve hate but i won’t recommend them either

YouTube screwing itself with adblockers again

I use Firefox and uBlock Origin. Not sure what kind of experience anyone else is having with YouTube, but recently my home page has been empty because I “don’t have watch history turned on”. Okay, fine. I won’t be able to browse suggested videos, and I’ll spend less time on their platform....

I do have brand awareness, if i get ads shoved in my face about a brand, that brand goes into a shit list to NOT buy from

There’s software that browses to the homepage of a site and starts traversing it all, saving it all in the process

The new organization is at github.com/FossifyX. For now all the apps have updates disabled, i’m quite open to alternatives for all EXCEPT Gallery, so i hope the fork goes well, at least from the discussions it looks like it’s off to a decent start.

Of note, the apps on FDroid are still uncrapped so you can still take them from there.

Being burned out is no excuse to outright betray their users and principles. For the height of irony read this post by them from August

You can turn off automatic updates for now, that’s what i’ve done until i have replacements, either forks of these or alternative apps

The good thing is that unlike the old QuickPic fiasco, here the apps are GPLv3, so these are 100% gonna be forked, still gonna see if i don’t keep all the eggs on a single basket

And like clockwork the enshittification proceeds unabated

Signal leaked random contacts to me! (feddit.de)

When I press on some message to forward it, it shows me Random usernames of contacts I don’t know. And it even shows some Mobile Numbers I don’t know. For example, one number starts with +964 that’s Iraq. I’m from Europe tho. These contacts and numbers are from all over the place....

They should have added usernames YEARS ago, but instead they go and remove SMS support in the client…

This right there is the Firefox killer feature that Chrome can’t dream of right now, and that freaking no one knows it exists!

Same…

Oh yeah you should! Cute, charming and i keep suspecting it was a bit of a love note to Calvin and Hobbes because the unnamed girl is just like the little girl version of Calvin 😆

Go blind if possible. Do have in mind that the platforming in most of the game isn’t too hard but there’s points where it does ramp up significantly.

The general consensus among more informed people than me is that they don’t even need to listen in, they get enough accurate information from tracking everything else to not even need to do something as resource-intensive as permanently listening in.

Yes. 99% of what i use YT for these days is to follow the crafters i’ve been following for years, and part of the way to support them is liking and commenting on their videos. That’s what keeps me from moving to frontends or NewPipe.

Why the hell i hadn’t heard of it before? Will check it out later

Edit: The video above after the addon, i’m fully in!
