yt-dlp also has sponsorblock support, btw.

didn’t know that, deff will check it out

ffplay is nice, but mpv has yt-dlp integration, and supports addons (love me some nice sponsorblock integration)

mpv my beloved

it’s a bit more complicated. Linux runs games with anti-cheats perfectly fine as long as the anti-cheat doesn’t require kernel-level access.

Basically, this allows to detect some cheats that would be undetected otherwise. But it also allows anti-cheats for absolutely unrestricted access to any user data. In other words, it’s a giant safety vulnerability, that you’re forsed to intall, that still doesn’t solve the cheating problem.

Not like the devs are actually interested to solve anything anyway, cheaters buy new accounts regularily, stimulating post-release sales.

please don’t use garlic bread for sexual purposes

your deleted comment has the same comedic effect as the bethesda’s environmental storytelling skeletons

i use cachyos, runs swimmingly for me. I’m not sure arch is good for your usecase tho.

Mediacenter/homeserver? I’d personally choose something like fedora, but debian sounds fine too

kde, hyprland and mangowc are working without issues for me on cachyos with gtx1660

donations and commissions. That’s how modern artists operate, for example

that way we know we’re not in an echo chamber

This guy uses graphene btw

no, what i mean is that they moved a whole list of motions into selection/extension mode. You can’t just press shift+w or shift+alt+i, you need to think “do i want to jump to the next selector, or do i want to extend the selection to it?”, press or not press v, and only then press w, alt+i or whatever. It’s literally vim2: the electric bogaloo in that aspect, because the user needs to think of a verb first: jump or extend in this case, then select nouns: word, paragraph, etc., then select the verb again, this time the actual operation i want to do to my selection. This practically defeats the whole point of the verb-noun motion reversal that the kakoune dev expressed first, and the helix dev repeated after.

I learnt about helix first, so it wasn’t much of an issue, since a) i was just learning the motions, so i wasn’t striving for speed just yet b) i had no point of comparison… Until i tried kakoune. After that the idiocy of that design became apparent, and it can’t stop frustrating me ever since.

P.S. i remember seeing the discussion about helix future plugin support back in 2023, when i just found it. Since it’s still just “in the works”, i’m feeling really skeptical about it, and about whether the plugin infrastructure will grow big enough. Kakoune is much more mature in that aspect

weird. I just use kakoune-lsp, and it works just fine out of the box, spare bit of copypasting from the readme on their github.

I really like that i have to put in no effort for Helix to work, but unfortunately its just too rigid for me.

And it also backs down on kakoune’s philosophy, returning back the necessity of selection mode. It really frustrates me in this aspect. Kakoune’s more heavy reliance on modifier keys seems way more handy and sensible to me. Helix’s way just creates unnecessary complications, and feels like a change for the sake of a change.

I use kakoune btw

my fedora is bigger and my neckbeard is longer :D

helix is good, but kakoune is where all the fun happens

Pardon, but some people want to eat shit and watch others do it. Some people still use facebook. I don’t judge them. But won’t be happy if they showed up and told me that i must do it as well.

And those features being what exactly? A small chat window drop-out so your lazy ass won’t need to open an ai chat in a tab? This is absurd.

At least they give you a choice of enabling/disabling that functionality

lmao. That’s how we got Windows as enshittified as it is now.

lmao. You fail to beat the fanboy allegations with this comment. At this point you literally look like the guy from the meme in my eyes.

and again with the misuse of the word “propaganda”, this time topped off with the most basic demagogic manipulation i’ve seen in a while, comparing me to corpos, trying to… What exactly? Is the last paragraph there to make me feel bad? Because it provides no logical counter-argument to what i said. Sorry, but i’m too autistic to be ragebaited.

You’re the one, making claims without supporting them with any proof.

My claim is that firefox gets worse by adding the features nobody asked for, spending time and money for their development, purely out of FOMO of the AI hypetrain, while struggling to implement actually relevant modern technologies such as WebGPU. AI can be a useful instrument, but if i ever want to use it, i’d use specialized tools for that, and look for them at specialized places.

Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

a quote from Enthony Enzor-Demeo, the current CEO of Firefox.

I like how you treat any rumors you don’t like as propaganda, implying ill intent, as well as call people morons for not trusting yet another corpo.

I personally use firefox for now, because i’m too lazy to set up synchronization between devices myself in an opensource browser.

The fact that they’re slightly better than their competitors is not a reason to fanboy over them and put a blind eye over their slow but steady shift towards enshittification.

except firefox is also part of a problem

You’re jumping to conclusions. I see where you’re coming from, I might’ve been more explicit about what exactly I was talking about, so my bad ig. I wasn’t talking about Fanon in the first place. More over, I wasn’t talking about any book author/philosopher in particular. My logic still applies even to Fanon tho, as, first, he had unique circumstances on his hands, second, our world had changed quite a bit since then too, fyi.

I can’t but notice how vague your answer about the Vietnam is. I never asked about Vietnam’s success as a sovereign political structure, I was asking about the ordinary people and how all of the events affected their lives. I believe I’ve made this much clear the first time around.

The era of national divisions eroding is something for after the end of imperialism, in the meantime a people should be able to chart their own course free from the domination of the west.

And what’s the reasoning behind that statement? I’ve already provided my stance and reasoning on why nationalism should go ASAP. You, on the other hand, fail to point out why deimperialization is of such high priority in your worldview.

You seem to think on the geopolitical level, while being just a person, microscopic, compared to a political structure. In modern society, any drastic geopolitical change affects individual well-being only negatively, potentially yielding positive changes in this aspect only decades later, if does so at all. Modern day imperialism is nothing compared to what it was in the past, thus deimperialization is none of our concern, as it won’t give any marginal positive change on personal level.
