Ive been mostly on linux for like 25 years, but i was using a chromebook for a while bc it was cheap (had a linux desktop tho).

I miss easily running android apps on my laptop. I could install waydroid but its not that big of a deal to me. Just the only thing i could think of that i miss from another os...

I use ncdu. It shows what folders/files are actually eating up all your space.

Uh, youtube premium is ad free...

Im one of these legacy users from google music, and youtube hasnt shown me an ad in nearly a decade...

Obviously other than the baked in ad reads by the youtubers themselves

I just started using nix recently. I really like the concept, and how simple it is to "temporarily" install an app only needed briefly.

I was trying to install a python program i wrote, and packaged with poetry (on an arch system) to nix. Pip and pipx both threw errors, nothing seemed to work. Advice online seemed like i needed to basically create a nix flake for the app. I still havent gotten it installed because i have no idea what nix flakes are.

Its probably just a learning curve, and not using nix the "nix way" but im incredibly frustrated and it was a massive time sink for me. I figured pipx would basically work like flatpak does and just install the thing in my home, leaving the system immutable or whatever, and staying mostly in the spirit of nix.

So i'd say its weird enough of a distro to waste your time sometimes.

That said, it seems to have the cleanest updates ive ever seen on linux. So much so i could probably just run them via cron, and never think about it again.

So win some lose some...

I mean paid fediverse doesnt give you extra features. Unless you count a sense of satisfaction supporting open platforms

You're not wrong, but we've seen time and time again that piracy decreases with improved access. Look at what Spotify and netflix did to curb piracy.

This might be a broader conversation, but i see traditional consoles dying off soon. Look at xbox and playstations entrance into the pc market via online streaming.

I dont doubt theyre content suing the pants off creators showing emulation of games that havent been for sale for decades, but they are undoubtably anti-consumer at this point.

I see no point in shelling out a couple hundred bucks for a switch with a quarter of the computing power of my steamdeck, much less my pc.

What nintendo needs to do is release games on pc. I would not pirate their games if i could buy them.

Honest question here, since chromium (vs chrome) is open source, can someone not fork an older version, or remove the new code blocking ublock?

I mean i assume it cant be done, but i dont know why

Dude seriously wtf. The internet is full of porn. You can find it anywhere, you don't even have to look hard.

Are those space panties? Cuz ur ass is out of this world.
