I have MX Linux on my old Dell Inspiron 1300 that refuses to die after 20 years. Great distro, I like it better than Ubuntu in some ways - just difficult to install some software built for 64 bit only of course

What does this desktop app do that the browser extension doesn’t? I tried the cli extension but it was rubbish…

Yeah I’m still pissed about them removing the menu button that all of my apps used to depend on back in the day. Now it’s the whole selective file permissions dance giving me a headache.

Boilerplate code (the stuff you usually have to copy anyway from GitHub) and summarising long boring articles. That’s the use case for me. Other than that I agree - and having done AI service agent coding myself for fun I can seriously say that I would not trust it to run a business service without a human in the loop

Good one! I’m literally dealing with this right now on a server. Turns out you’re expected to deal with long running processes that spawn too many threads yourself, or else…

Does anyone know if this is the same way Sober is running the port of Roblox?

Newpipe works great on tablets too, a lot of Android apps have a landscape mode

Yesss! Closed source (not surprising let’s not share the recipe with Roblox devs) and only available as flatpak but I’ll take it! Thanks bru

I ran it on my dual core celeron and… just kidding try the mini llama 1B. I’m in the same boat with Ryzen 5000 something cpu

Well that sucks… I’m still pissed at Roblox for their DRM rug pull on Linux. Didn’t stop the bots and hackers for more than two weeks anyways - bet Ryujinx 2.0 will be out soon too.

Anyone know if DRM is cracked on Roblox yet? Just a yes or no I can find it nevermind I’ll go look

So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…

Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

“not available in your country” is easily fixed, just turn on your vpn

PipePipe from f-droid is a clone that seems to update more frequently than newpipe, and has the additional benefit of being able to access the Chinese and Japanese video sites bilibili and niconico (worth checking out, it’s fascinating even for someone who doesn’t speak the languages)

It’s always nice to have some motivation from doing things for others. Depending on the service, you can always host for others AND for yourself. It’s 10x as much work but you do get positive feedback (sometimes…)

I had to be burned twice before learning this lesson - instances went down and I had to switch.

Try pipepipe on f-droid

Pipepipe on f-droid is kept much more up to date in my experience. It’s a fork so basically the same

I can’t help it, whenever I see twins I say “Oh, Deja voux” out loud

Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there’s alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount “without windows installed”, maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.

My own ads, just to make sure they still work (for the 40% who still don’t block ads)
