I wonder why grayjay is still fine but youtube-dlp isn’t. strange

the author of the article wrote an article a while ago about how they think steam is enshittifying and becoming bad because they got rid of mac support and some people didn’t like steam in the 2000s, so I think this person just takes controversial opinions randomly and writes about them.

I mean it might be more secure, it might be less secure, we just can’t read through the source for windows, so we won’t know until linux is attacked as much as windows. It would (will?) definitely be interesting to find out.

freecad is horrible, not really worth trying.

I’ve heard of people getting fusion 360 running great with a snap, but others say it has issues. the github for it is being actively maintained, so thats a good sign at least.

I tried to get siemens solid edge working through wine, but it was mostly broken and I didn’t dig too deep into troubleshooting, I just dualboot windows for fussy programs and anticheats

I wanna see some even more insane FPV drones. theres always some battery breakthrough though, so I don’t wanna get my hopes up.

why do we need to drop hyprland over the lead dev’s views, they are pretty bad, but its an open source project, and I joined the discord server and didn’t immediately see any issues. vaxry even made a point of saying that they will accept PRs as long as they are good quality, regardless of personal views.

it took a bit to learn but now its great

captain disillusion still makes videos, just very slowly because of how much work each one is

youtube might never really die though, that business model is just so incredibly dependant on scale, and hosting ridiculous amounts of data, that it seems nearly impossible for something else to start up

sure illegal content can be accessed over a vpn without port forwarding, but when someone is hosting a child porn site over a mullvad ip, that is clearly a larger problem

although people hosting illegal content using port forwarding is likely one of the reasons they removed it, so its a tricky problem

and the power cost from old inefficient enterprise hardware

i dont save ALL videos, i only save videos i would really miss if they disappeared.

some people have the storage to save entire channels though, and if i had the space for it i might do the same

personally I think that theres loads of people with the skillset to do it, but they all have nice jobs in cybersecurity instead of cracking video games.

it would be preferable to have someone other than her cracking denuvo lol

Yeah, I got a perfectly good phone for half the price of buying new

i watch ltt for alex messing around, and every now and then a video of linus wasting money on cool testing equipment for some reason. I’ve always assumed GN is superior for actual testing.

yeah sure DNS based blocking, I host pihole to do that on my network, but if a device sets an alternate DNS server, I don’t think there’s anything I could do about it.

I don’t really agree that the internet is too open, but I also just don’t think that forced censoring on the ISPs side is possible, simply because of how networking works.

Believe me I wish I could block YouTube ads with a DNS server, but DNS only is for domains, and the ads are from the same domain as the video, and there is no way to decrypt and censor https traffic (without your certificate on the client, but if you can do that then just put censoring in the browser/computer anyway)

and like, if you don’t want kids seeing nsfw stuff or etc, there are DNS servers for that, just set that on the device or in your router for the whole network

at least you mostly know what data insurance companies get though, with tech its somewhere between all of your internet activity ever, and nothing because its too expensive.

personally it seems worth it to me to avoid large tech companies simply because I have the time to deal with some lost convenience, and if they are storing everything then they will have less on me, and if they aren’t, well I’ve learned loads about IT, and its been kinda fun.

your opinion doesn’t seem to be that unpopular here
