If you have it set to use the Invidious backend that might be the issue, since most Invidious instances don’t work at the moment.

OP when they try Debian and it’s exactly what it advertises itself as:

I think Tblock should do what you’re asking for.

This photo doesn’t even look real lol, Elon looks like he’s photoshopped in

Am I having a stroke, or is this headline horrendously written?

This. I swear, some people in the FOSS community seem to be convinced everyone who uses a computer is a developer.

I’m also on NVIDIA, I tried the Plasma 6 Alpha last night (on KDE neon unstable) and to my utter shock, Wayland was pretty goddamn close to flawless.

LibRedirect works for not only redirecting YouTube to Invidious (or Piped if you prefer) but also for alternative front ends for other services, like Nitter for Twitter.

It has the brand recognition of being “the” Linux distro, even though it doesn’t deserve that title these days (if it ever did at all).

Didn’t even notice them until they were pointed out in another thread a few days ago, honestly they seem, at worst, harmless. I disagree with them ideologically in a lot of ways, but I don’t really think they’re actively harmful. It’s not as though they’re posting hate speech or anything like that.

Found a PDF of the complaint from another article, which says “since at least January 2023” on page 15, so, take that as you will.

Damn, I have one of these that I use a lot for work, it’s been pretty reliable so far, but this makes me think I should get something else to replace it…

Who would’ve thought that an incredibly dubious claim to “ownership” of a JPEG image would fall in value so dramatically?

“Bravephobes”

Maybe I’m just living under a rock but I hadn’t even heard of, let alone seen, Hexbear prior to this post and had to do a search to see what you were talking about. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yep, pretty much. If your system works, no need to change it.

The biggest advice I can give is to start with something like, as has been mentioned, Linux Mint, but also, don’t buy into the idea that you eventually need to move to a more “advanced” distro. If Mint, or wherever you wind up, works for you, and you have no compelling reason to switch, then don’t. All Linux is Linux, so to speak, the only things that distinguish distros are packages/package managers, default settings/configurations, and pre-installed programs. There’s nothing preventing you from eventually becoming a power-user on a “noob-friendly” distro, if that’s something you desire in the first place.

Do…do people really think Microsoft is stupid enough to kill off non-cloud based Windows? There are a lot of Windows users who, for either performance reasons, lack of reliable internet, etc. who would never get good use out of a cloud version. Microsoft is more than aware of this and there is no way in hell they’d shoot themselves in the foot like this.

What people are referring to in that regard is how, in 2011, Brendan Eich (who later founded Brave Software) stepped down as CEO of Mozilla, 11 days after his appointment to said position, after it came out he had donated $1000 dollars to the campaign for California Proposition 8 in 2008, a proposed state constitutional amendment seeking to ban same-sex marriage. Prop 8 wound up passing, although it was overturned a few years after the fact in court.

Here’s an article from when Eich stepped down about the whole ordeal.

I mean, Proton, which you just mentioned, also has a free tier, which is just as usable as Gmail is for 90% of people, myself included.
