You can ditch YouTube,
without actually ditching YouTube content,
through a privacy respecting alternative frontend:

My favorite ones:
- Desktop: Invidious + Piped
- Android: Newpipe + Tubular
Full stack developer and privacy advocate. I like to keep the mentality, if you can program one language well, then you can program in any language!

Correct me if I’m wrong,
but I have been disliking Ubuntu because they use:
Correct, ChatGPT is proprietary spyware.
If the interface would support self hosted (local/offline) LLMs, then I’m sure people would be much more interested.
How do you think news sites earn money?
They do not provide that content for free,
you are their product of which they benefit.
I use NoScript,
which tells me about each JavaScript piece a website has, most if not all of them contain trackers (= data collection).
Each article,
links to a news site,
which is riddled with data trackers,
which collects info about you,
which is sold.
In addition the sites contain advertisements.
Only these 2:
Because they:
Citra, internal resolution x9,
and you’ve got yourself an early access to this :)
No need to pay Nintendont, the law-suit company that makes games on the side, again for a game you already bought in the past.
Points that can help them change to FOSS:
Sites that can help them find FOSS alternatives:
In my experience it’s extremely hard to make someone not interested in software to try out new FOSS apps though…
Human Centipede,
that shit is banned in a few countries for a reason…
I guess a little inflation is good,
to prevent all money from ending up in a single party’s hands.
However that’s the only upside I could think of, other then that I fully agree with you.
Central banks “printing” money, through bonds and fractional banking, is blatant stealing from people who worked / saved in the past imo. Since it leads to inflation / devaluation of the currency.
They might have been doing it for longer then I’ve been aware of.
But this is a (small) list of things that caught my attention and made me despise them:
Interesting, so in between lawsuits and takedowns they still do game related stuff from time to time huh?
One thing is certain,
due to all those lawsuits and takedowns,
I won’t be buying into their next console,
they won’t get a single dime from me anymore.
Wikiless?
The original project was taken down by Wikipedia, but this appears to be an active fork of it:

Legacy software still requires maintenance.
Legacy dependencies still require to be used in new projects.
Dual booting multiple times a day is not feasible.
For those reasons none of my co-workers can fully switch to Linux.
I write PHP on the daily and don’t understand the hate it gets :/
At least I can work on Linux at home while my co-workers are stuck on Windows with their C#
Which very likely send your data to databrokers to be sold to the best bidder for “advertisement purposes”…
I dare you, scan the apps you use for well known trackers (= spyware) with ClassyShark3xodus:
WASM projects can be open source,
just like Android apps can be.
However in both instances the compiled versions of it are not easily readable.
Also you can validate binaries against a shasum to ensure no tampering has happened with them.
WASM = WebAssembly,
this has nothing to do with Java,
but with JS (JavaScript).
JS works with JIT (Just In Time) compilation, meaning every user that requests a web page, will request the JS and your browser will compile that JS on the fly as you request it.
WASM on the other hand is pre-compiled once, by the developer, when he/she is making the code. So when a user requests a WASM binary, they don’t have to wait for JIT compilation, since it was already pre-compiled by the developer.
They only have to wait for a tiny piece of JS,
which is still JIT compiled,
a tiny piece of JS to load in the WASM binary.
This saves the user from waiting on JIT compilation and thus speeds up requesting web pages.
WASM also increases security,
since binaries are harder to reverse engineer then plain text JS.
Due to those reasons,
I believe WASM will be the future for Web development.
No clue why people are hating on WASM,
but I guess they just don’t grasp all of the above yet.
Remember,
if you participate in the subscription nonsense,
then you’re supporting such a future.
If you refuse to buy subscriptions,
then you’re standing up against it :)
