...So, you skip the ads using an external program, which prevents the youtube channel you're watching from getting their money.

That's the part that makes it piracy. Of course you have the right to do this, I have no ethical problem with it, i'm doing it now, but you have to understand that when you're doing this you're preventing the youtube channels you're watching from getting paid, you're taking their content without paying them what they asked for in return.

If the youtube channel disables the ads themselves, that's one thing, but you not watching those ads is not what the youtube channels want... because that's how they get paid. Getting free content without paying the content maker is... piracy.

That's not the same because the advertisement company has already paid the content creator.

No, the ads on the DVD you bought have already paid the company that made the DVD.

You skipping those ads has no consequences for anyone, and nobody cares if you skip them.

He's right that it's piracy, he doesn't go on to say piracy is wrong, and neither would I.

It's piracy to block ads, and piracy isn't always wrong, so who cares?

I just wish it supported tabs, I'd switch immediately if it did

That's the arch of immutables, fedora kinoite is a much better example

Libreoffice is fine unless you're doing something niche, so yes

If you go immutable then I really don't think it is unless you need niche software

For windows users I actually recommend fedora kinoite, because it's immutable it's VERY difficult to break things and also you get the benefits of safer updates, and it's plenty easier to use.

I saw nothing but toxicity, I feel like all the decent people left after the exodus, although it was politics that I saw primarily

Fixes the fucking clipboard in citrix, no, I cannot figure out a better solution.

the move to aquamarine with hyprland mostly resolved this... but not completely and i'm going to have to write a new duct tape solution for that.

If you're wondering why I launch alacritty... it doesn't work without alacritty, wayland needs the window to be in focus, if alacritty isn't there there's no in focus window and it doesn't update the clipboard.
