Refurbished Refurbisher

Marijuana stays in your systen for a very long time since it is a fat soluable drug, so even if you smoked 2 days ago and you’re stone-cold sober, you will still test positive for THC.

Ugh. It feels like something is groping around my skull.

Well you see, the government can’t provide bare necessities for all people even though it’s cheaper than putting homeless people in prison because if they did, then the rich people would lose their precious reserve army of labor, and how else are they going to convince people to work for less under worse conditions?

I don’t own a VR headset, but I thought SteamVR worked fine on Linux. Gamescope even has specific VR modes.

There’s Windows 11 IoT LTSC if you really need Windows, but Microsoft is going to continue to fuck its users, and I don’t know why people in the know would choose to continue to use an OS that’s actively working against them when non-corporate, open source alternatives exists (Linux, or for the more niche people, BSD, Haiku, Redox)

How Can Cameras Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real?

Hard to replicate the typing experience on the Deck when the hardware doesn’t have dual trackpads.

If the punishment for a crime is a fine, then it’s only a crime for poor people and small businesses.

We need to see prison sentences for anyone involved in making the decisions to commit crimes and the platform needs to face banishment.

Valid argument

She commited the ultimate crime: stealing from rich people

DuckStation recently changed to a source-available license that prohibits distributing modified versions of the software and prohibits commercial use. Before, it was GPLv3.

Also OpenOffice, Emby, Audacity, Android (AOSP) (soft forked to LineageOS and GrapheneOS, but no hard fork)

I already use Tubular, and I have been using NewPipe (or the fork Tubular) since the very first alpha.

Grayjay doesn’t work well for me since I’m subscribed to over 1000 creators and they force rate limiting over 200, which makes it completely unusable for my usecase.

It might starve the algorithm, but I still get good recommendations on Tubular for the most part, and I haven’t used a YT account ever since the first NewPipe alpha released.

I’m hoping storage will become cheap enough that something like PeerTube will be able to grow as much as Lemmy and Mastodon have over the past few years.

The recommendation algorithm (also using a third party app) recommends me tons of niche content. It’s how I found most of the creators that I follow.

I follow over 1000 creators on YouTube, many of them niche creators who don’t often upload content. There are a very small percentage who are on another platform.

The main app that I use (Tubular) also supports PeerTube, but PeerTube has a big issue when it comes to both content discovery and delivery. YouTube hosts not only the “full” quality video, but they also host many different versions of the same video at varying resolutions/bitrates. This is unfeasable for basically anyone but a big tech company. YouTube also has a very effective (albeit very flawed) recommendation algorithm that smaller platforms struggle to compete against.

I already use those things. My main way of watching YT is with Tubular.

The problem is that there is one, centralized hosting provider with an all-powerful, non-customizable (by the user) recommendation algorithm. That algorithm, like it or not, dictates the type of content that is made on the platform. If there is content that Google doesn’t like, they can (and have) very easilly shadowban the content, meaning only people who specifically search for it will see it, if not remove it altogether.

My one holdover is YouTube. There’s just no good replacement for it.

Then every card is a trump card

I think “fucking democracy” is their end goal here.
