I remember Hooktube. That was when front ends were still trying to play nice by accessing youtube the “right way”.
They killed that one off pretty hastily.
Invidious was the hero successor, but I think we all knew that it would eventually come to this. Invidious’ most recent fixes for blocking involve passing identity tokens, making a concession that Google is then better able to track users behind Invidious.
I’m not sure how much farther there is left to go on the technical angle of this fight.
Further thought: they have to contend with what to do with the string of a tampon when wiping. Whether to tuck it inside, or carefully work around not to smear shit on it.
Windows 11 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
Deja vu
Just a few years ago:
Windows 10 is a piece of shit so people (including your IT department) don’t want to upgrade,
With time, the normies will acclimate to it, and Windows 11 will become “acceptable”. Just like all the other ones.
Good guy Amazon: Makes employees return in-person to prevent them from using proprietary remote work software.
The genie is already out of the bottle BUT, one solution would be to raise the barrier to entry again.
Return the internet to the pre-“smart” phone era, in which a minimum bar of effort and knowledge needed to be present in order to connect and participate on the web.
In 2008~2010, the flood gates opened for all the normies to stampede in and everything has been downhill since then.
Even without ads, the act of showing videos mid-conversation has never been a smooth interaction IME. Best not to fumble with devices while trying to talk with somebody.
Ew, why would I allow my system to create traffic to Google controlled infrastructure?
What’s wrong with /proc/*info and dmidecode?
Much of it is just functionality by way of ffmpeg, which is also an excellent program.
It sounds like you were on the end of the chain in a game of telephone.
When Fred Trump III asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son’s medical care, he says the former U.S. president suggested letting the young man die instead.
I could see how politicized media could morph that into “disabled people should just die” for clicks, though.
Using workarounds to attempt to get foreign software running on an operating system for which is was never built is always going to be fraught with problems.
If the game isn’t distributed compiled for your platform, then you are a second class citizen and no amount of API wrappers, translation layers, VMs or whatever will ever address the core issue.
Running a game in Proton (Wine) is not playing on Linux. It is your linux environment contorting itself and doing miraculous back flips in the hope of convincingly coaxing the Windows binary game into thinking that it is running on an actual Windows host.
Soft solution: Purchase games that are properly developed and released targeting your platform natively.
Hard solution: Graduate from playing games and move on with your life. (btw mine improved a lot after putting gaming behind me for good. + I can now use whatever computer hardware and software I damn well please)
Fuck Putin, by the way.
Captain, we’re being scanned!
Fun side note: When I’d remoted into our medical client’s workstations, there were more than a handful of occasions where the recipient on the other end had only just finished frantically closing out Netflix tabs.
Things like this make me hope very much that I my physical health holds out for decades to come.
Why do conservatives believe gay, trans, black, brown, Liberals, and the disabled deserve to die?
I have to constantly remind myself that the average user today cannot tell the difference between a search engine and a web browser.
And we have the URL bar pulling double duty as a search engine entry form to thank for that.
I get where 0x0 was going with that, but I also don’t expect lemmings (ex-redditors) to understand it either.
stop using the internet outside of what is required to function in society.
I agree with the sentiment. But also consider the threshold for “what is required to function in society” is experiencing endlessly expanding feature creep. The great mass hysteria of 2020 dealt the heaviest blow.
The part that actually describes how the ban would work is at least one hyperlink away from the article.
