365 is the web browser one isn’t it?

Nobody could ever execute an installer as root on a Linux system 🙄

Exactly, they aren’t losing anything and there’s hope a better system will come along.

Agreed on Bandcamp though. The very few artists who use it get my money through there.

That’s a side effect of YouTube messing with the streams to try to break downloaders. Obvs a dedicated downloader like ytdlp handles YouTube jerking the chain around better than a tool intended for viewing.

My understanding is you’re pretty much only gonna get those broken up streams especially for piratey content like music videos and tv shows. Ytdlp will join with ffmpeg.

But since F5 is and has been for 30 years the universal refresh button I never needed to learn that some software uses a different, undiscoverable key combination.

Yeah if small quantity it’s not too bad to do your way. I use jellyfin so everything shows up ok for me, although it’s weird to see the “wrong” thumbnails.

For me I’ve got everything as a docker setup using https://docs.linuxserver.io/ They don’t have a tubesync one but I found they have good instructions for setting it up and that’s how I learned enough to do so on my own with tubesync. But there is def a curve there.

My perfect ideal would be freetube as a web server just for browsing where I could hit the dl button and fire off a download command to my server, then it shows up in jellyfin or Plex. I… Haven’t found a way to do this seamlessly yet, but I’m always on the lookout

Yeah I learned that when I looked up the issue number, very disappointed that it’s Ctrl+R instead of the canonical reload button for the last 30 years (F5). :(

Since you knew Ctrl+r you wouldn’t experience those issues. That’s a side effect of “reload” without a reload button.

I just checked github and this is already resolved, just refresh filters

Fine work as always from ublock

Freetube is great but it’s also a source of endless frustration. Like if you walk away from your computer the stream times out and it won’t resume. Then it says “reload” and they never implemented a reload button so you have to navigate to something else. Except their navigation doesn’t work quite right so sometimes if you click too fast it stays on the new page after you try to go back to the one you wanted to reload. Rawr. (GitHub issues 1005, 1425, 1500, 1958, 4062, 4409, 5019, 5152, 6136, 6201)

I use youtube-local which is great, but it’s more susceptible to breakage which is why I’m currently back on freetube and very very very frustrated.

Why not just use tubesync? There’s another one like youtube archivist or something as well. If you already have a Plex server you probably have the skills to set it up.

https://github.com/meeb/tubesync

Here’s the other that I’m aware of https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist

I found tubesync kinda needs to be run on vpn if you don’t want YouTube to ban you during the initial sync, I assume the same is true for archivist. Works fine after that first sync tho (I’m actually using as an archive since people tend to take their stuff down once they change hobbies for some reason, so I literally was archiving whole channels).

If it turns out he was a shareholder disappointed with his latest dividend, yes I would be sad. That’s my line.

Yes, your advocating for killing the entire board of directors is the right move. Another route would be to kill off all of the large institutional investors like fidelity, JP Morgan etc who put that board in place. But that’s about where the buck stops. Sadly those people are better at being faceless so it’s harder, but it would also work for all public companies (for example Boeing, or John Deere, or all of the other more notably evil companies lately)

I’m sure it helps that he was across two state lines before the search even began

Linux being easy to install was a weird target to begin with. If it were good, framework could easily find popularity. The issue with Linux is less the install than the upkeep and the jank package ecosystem. For every official package it feels like theres a bootleg build uploaded through gitlab ci by user luvgunz6969. Even something as basic as syncthing seems to have 5 different ways to install and run it. Firefox is insecure on Linux. Thunderbird doesn’t have a fucking tray icon. Installing specific drivers breaks secureboot. It’s a fucking minefield.

I assume you mean a desktop without a tpm chip but with a tpm header and from the Intel lines where they didn’t bother to include the soft tpm as part of the design? I had such a PC, roughly the same time frame as yours.

My phone is faster. Less RAM, but faster processor.

7 years is a long time in tech.

Edge is fairly popular, your assessment is without merit there. Id trust it over chrome and the scum at brave but under chromium, Vivaldi, Firefox.

Even if a tpm chip is just a deadbolt on your door, it’s better than nothing and will keep your stuff safe from 99% of attackers. Yes the nsa well get through but they were gonna anyway. Your curious friend or random criminal aren’t gonna get through. It’s a deadbolt. I like having a deadbolt. It won’t keep me actually safe but it will still stop 99% of people. You can let the perfect be the enemy of the good if you’d like, but until my Asus has a titan chip I’m gonna do what I can.

I don’t understand your last comment, Microsoft does provide a full iso and if you use Rufus to burn to a USB drive it works fine bootloader and all. No need to even try to use their hot garbage media creator tool, which sucks.

Clearly people don’t find it that bad

Most people don’t care about the same things you care about. I do, and still find managing windows easier but I agree not everyone will because I also care about things like tpm support and kernel signing. Windows does all these things with no hoops, making it simpler for my use case. I’ve never had a registry entry brick anything.

I’m not super controlling, so I don’t feel an overriding need to remove edge just because it’s there. I used Rufus to bypass tpm and web login support with 2 checkboxes. Life just isn’t that hard.

For someone who doesn’t care at all, windows is significantly easier.

My general experience has been: “Come to Linux”

“But not ubuntu that’s trash”

<Tries arch, run into problem>

“Why the fuck would you use arch, dummy?”

<Switch to fedora, immediately brick computer, eventually fix it but switch to suse>

<Wonder where certain software is>

“If you wanted wide software support why wouldn’t you use arch”

“You can just learn the build tool chain for that software and do it yourself”

Etc Etc

The Linux community is very welcoming until you expect things to work.
