And for those looking to back up locally, there’s yt-dlp and ffmpeg! I can personally attest to yt-dlp working on more than just YouTube. I have both downloaded because yt-dlp handled some online videos better, getting them in one shot instead of only part of it, in my specific anecdotal experience, than ffmpeg. I kept ffmpeg around for reasons I honestly forgot, used them for just one big backup session and never touched them again.

Congratulations on leaving! The silver lining of these platforms continuing to enshittify is that more and more people are finding a breaking point and jumping ship.

My first instinct was to say “cursed,” my second is to think “huh… kind of cute actually”

Hey, thank you so much for helping me! Now I have a better idea of my options and what wants are viable and which are not.

• https://gardinerbryant.com/the-omarchy-framework-thing/
• https://crimier.github.io/posts/Framework-Omarchy/
• https://community.frame.work/t/framework-supporting-far-right-racists/75986/2

TL;DR: Framework is sponsoring Omarchy and Hyprland. Omarchy, at least, is really linked to far-righter DHH; cannot find nearly as much about Hyprland on a quick search besides “toxic”.

Going to be an interesting thread to follow as someone who wants a Framework for the repairability. And friends recommending it; and honestly in a world where social media is probably flooded with astroturfed comments instead of real experience, and review sites are ones I highly doubt actually touched or bothered with the products, I am gonna trust word of mouth. But I can be convinced into reconsidering (price, performance I can get out of a laptop, and the Hyperland/Omarchy thing).

“For all my projects, the motivation is the same,” Champion told The Register. “We tend to look past the technology that surrounds us and shapes our lives. My work is about forcing us to look at it, and seeing the beauty in engineering.”

Really like this!

I’d love if you posted it here :)

I’ll do it for you as a post on !deshittification@thebrainbin.org (was looking through your profile trying to find our DMs together, turns out that is not where to find them, found this comment though) if you list the smut ones. I’m asexual so not asking for myself, but I’ll definitely make a separate NSFW post for them on !deshittification; the non-asexual portion of the population deserves DRM-free stuff too.

In this situation I’ve used xcancel before: just replace the x in the domain name with xcancel. Still get to see the Tweet

As a gamer who did switch, curious what games are preventing the switch. In my experience sometimes it struggles with indie games only released for Windows that have probably been downloaded maybe 100 times at best; and probably as you know anything with kernel-level anticheat

i have been summoned

Hey thank you for the good information; I starred your comment! This is the stuff I like seeing on programming.dev.

And I have built from source before—but considering how un-knowledgeable I feel compared to the average poster here, probably a good thing you included that reassurance that it’s not so hard, since I feel just barely technical enough to be able to build from source. It’s also friendly to drive-by readers at my level of expertise/knowledge or lower who have not built from source yet.

I’ll freely admit that you know the “did not read the article and still commented” folks?

I’m a “didn’t watch the video” person and had to be told by other people what happened.

Also, at least one of them someone linked me of the foot thing was age restricted so I Xed out and took them at their word.

I’m happy! It Just Works. Windows 11 -> Linux.

• I have had ONE WiFi problem that was my computer’s fault the whole year; as opposed to half the times I open the computer.
• One video game didn’t Just Work, I had to tinker, but I got it working smoothly with mods.
• A bit of trouble with flash drives initially because they were not formatted to something compatible with Linux. Once I learned that I managed to shuffle data around and format it to be compatible with MacOS, Linux, and my Windows VM. But Linux actually saved me and let me get an old flash drive working that did not work at all. Love reformatting on my distro, it’s easier and more visual than when I tried to do it on Mac or Windows.

Hey, thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it!

Picture for people who do not want to click the link.

Am I just colorblind? I see 0%, 42%, 12%, and 1% in red. I see 13%, 12%, and 8% in green. You would have to remove “no change” in 42% for your assertion about green square percentages summing to more than red square percentages; though it does keep your point about drawback vs. benefit percentage true since “no change” is neither good nor bad.

Wasn’t aware he ate from his feet specifically onstage.

Still not going to agree with you, sorry, as someone who does not agree with ridiculing people unless it’s necessary. Of course, I’m not a perfect human being, I have probably unfairly ridiculed people, especially when angry and when pretty sure my target is someone that nobody will argue against me ridiculing. I’m just… as a person who desperately tried to avoid being “the weirdo” and still might fail at avoiding that nowadays? I’m pretty anti-“what a weirdo lmao,” and want people left the fuck alone about their weird behaviors unless they are hurting people with the weird behavior; or they literally will not stop their actual harmful behaviors and ridiculing might have a slight chance to get through or erode the power they have to perform those bad behaviors consequence-free.

I can also admit that people probably do need some level of social judgment to not gross out the people around you, so the eating that onstage probably wasn’t a great move (do not know what happened in context, I’m not very up to date on the whole drama of Richard Stallman). Now I know it was onstage and not some leaked information about his personal life, this does at least make sense as something people would make fun of, especially given I think most people, even the socially inept, would figure out not to do this by 6th grade.

Still probably going to dig in my heels on my belief that in this particular discussion bringing this up after “this guy has dangerous/regressive beliefs” feels a lot more like “and look, he’s weird too!!! what a loser LMAO” gossip and less like a relevant thing we should know about him that can contribute to a useful informative discussion, though. Sorry.

The 20-year-old computer might not work but I still have its files good as new because of backups and migrations for me.

Also I just like being able to search for stuff digitally. I misplace physical things very easily even if I do try to have a home for everything, so reducing down to one digital item for reading instead of many books is very helpful for me.

The advantages of paper you cite probably hold water for lots of people, but for me the way digital just erodes all of the problems I would have with physical books makes that the way for me, as I am sure you feel the pros of physical outweigh the cons for you.

I do wonder how popular our respective preferences (physical vs digital copies) are when you restrict to people concerned with privacy.
