Yes, I had my mom start with Linux and she’s confused when she has to use Windows.

That’s a pretty bad point you made there. Imagine having to google for each app on your smartphone and tell me how that’s better.

What about the scammy search results that point to malware infected sites?

What about stability and security updates for the software you obtained that way? Every software will have it’s own update mechanism, if there’s one at all.

How is it not better to install or update all software on the computer with a single click or command?

Wow, whoever wrote this doesn’t have a clue about systemd, Firefox, Librewolf or whatever. I stopped reading after a while. Couldn’t stand it.

Gorgeous!

For anyone else wondering: This is an alternative YouTube frontend, nothing federated.

You can’t log in with Google, you can log in with your Piped account.

Content is scraped from YouTube’s site the same way NewPipe does it.

Wonderful!

LibreTube. Uses Piped as backend and has pretty much all the features that NewPipe has, including SponsorBlock.

You can create an account on one of the numerous Piped instances and log in with LibreTube, to have things synced. Since Piped is open source, you can even selfhost it, if you know how. My Lemmy instance (FOSSware) also has a Piped instance.

Arch. It’s a “build-your-own” distro without the hassle of compiling everything from source, like with Gentoo (still love Gentoo, though). Also, it has pretty big repos with the AUR on top of that.

And no, it’s not unstable, if you can read. My oldest Arch install was 5 years old and even then, it didn’t break. I just wanted to do a fresh install for no particular reason.

Do you want me to melt away? That’s how you get my to melt away from cuteness overload. Please boop their noses from me.

What about the “Bypass Paywalls Clean” addon? Doesn’t that work any more? Also, there seems to be a “Bypass Paywalls Clean” filter list in Brave by default that just needs to be enabled. Anyone tried that one?

Not sure what this vast collection of resources is that you’re pining over.

In that case, I was talking about Plebbit as a whole. Many search results for interesting queries still lead to Reddit.

That’s baffling you? The majority of resources are on reddit right now and - unfortunately - people don’t care to move elsewhere. They just want their links and answers to questions that have been asked and answered 10,000 times and that’s it.

Again: Unfortunately.

Reminds me of the “stink face” my cats often do when smelling something interesting.

Cute!

Maybe try running it through Steam with Proton-GE? Or use Bottles? Or Lutris?

That’s incredibly adorable.

The first word that comes to my mind, when I see your cat, is “flauschig”. The german word for “fluffy”. Yes, this cat is very flauschig. I want to pet it.

That’s what’s most likely going on, you’re right.

Totally get the rant. Sometimes you just need to vent. No hypocrisy here, IMHO.

r/piracy users out of all? Wow, I can’t even believe that, as piracy to me is the epitome of freedom, which Reddit itself certainly isn’t.

“Mod Bootlickers”, huh? I’d call them “Spez Bootlickers” in return. Wth.
