  • I had to go hunting for channel IDs when I ditched the yt frontend for RSS. There is still proper working RSS for each channel, even though for some reason they removed the actual RSS button probably a decade ago.

    So I had to go to the channel page, inspect element, search for “rss”, and somewhere in the page source there would be the link (or I might have to refresh sometimes because it’s missing for whatever reason). One only needs the ID, as the rest of the link is the same, of course.

    As we both found out, it’s not as trivial as it once may have been, before @s.

    The GPL states that its text must not be modified. I take this to mean (though I’m no lawboy), that if you wanted to have a license with the same terms plus some changes (the butthole rule), you would have to rewrite the whole thing. It would not nearly be a “GPL license”.

    This is very important nitpicking I’m doing here, okay?




  • A better title might be, “Solutions to newcomers’s most common problems with Linux”

    The video is about the results of a survey regarding the problems people are having using Linux. Only 10% of them described themselves as beginners. That would not be a good title.

    I personally see zero condescending tone in it. The video doesn’t prove to be toxic like you described either.

    IMO this just isn’t a good community for this, because nobody clicks on a 20 minute video to figure out what it has to do with “Linux Gaming”. Plus YT links are almost always downvoted anyways. I agree that the title isn’t the best, because it fails to convey what the video actually contains.
