Warzone player here, I actually had to switch back to windows after like 3 years on mint because of this sadly.

meanwhile apex legends just stopped supporting Linux :|

I just don’t use torrents anymore, I use xdcc. I used to torrent, but there is so much ransomware, ISP threats, malware, ect. I still use torrents for official things like Linux Isos or Gimp though. Gen z here

more like 5th circus

I used Linux for a long time, like years, as my main os since I was a teenager. (I broadly say Linux because I hopped distro a lot). but ultimately, I hardly even used it by the end because during my creative bursts, I would be using windows exclusive software that was just better than any Foss. then, I would want to play some multiplayer games with my friends, where the anti cheat only worked on windows. this totaled to like 75 percent of my time being used on windows in the end, so I just sucked up to the reality of the situation and hardened windows for privacy and debloating and switched back after so long. if it weren’t for those 2 specific things, I would have probably kept mint as a daily driver forever, it was really stable and nothing else was an issue for me. but the fact is that I (and presumably many other people) don’t want to give up things we enjoy and spend more time bleak and bored just to prove a point to some company that doesn’t know we exist. I’m sure for a lot of people though, daily driving Linux would be fine for things like YouTube or online shopping or whatevsies.

I’ve been getting around it by setting my frontend to use an embed request, that way YouTube thinks it’s a third party embed and the ad injection doesn’t work. I’ve also in the past geospoofed to Russia and that works to block ads too.

theoretically, they could switch the player to use a nocookie embed.

yeah… i am typing this with my two pointer fingers by poking each key. typing the “right” way feels weird to me. i used a computer long before any kind of handheld device and i’ve always typed this way. i only learned there was a “correct” way from a 1 week lesson in my 9th grade tech class years ago, but i never really saw a point if i’m getting the words to the screen regardless.

good, keep it small and un-fucked with. the more eyes on it, the more in danger its in of either enshittification or being blocked by govs that don’t want open conversation.

it’s lemmyworld… they’ll never learn that they aren’t on reddit anymore.

can I become a hobgoblin too

a lot of the people making these posts don’t realise they are going to fake clone sites with a lesser library that could even be potentially dangerous. even outside of this space people are fooling themselves, I saw someone on discord post a fake 9anime link yesterday.

so called mothership being taken down meanwhile I am about to watch a newly downloaded show once my breakfast is done

come to db0, friend.

fellow IRC enjoyer…

this happens to me all the time, I’ll fall asleep at like 2am, wake up at 6, unable to fall back asleep and then I accidentally sleep away the entire day from like noon to 7pm. I’ve tried everything even just staying up for days to reset the cycle and nothing works.

my condolences

my only memories of Bakersfield are how when you’re going down 99 you see a giant cloud of dark smog and that’s how you know you’re passing it.
