And to top it off, YT Music stopped working for me, and has done the same for many others on some accounts (the revanced team thinks it’s a/b testing from google).

I guess it’s time to update my local music collection.

As a Vivaldi user, I found that no other browser works as well for me, as Vivaldi does. I can’t imagine life without browser workspaces, sync, vertical tabs on the desktop, and a mobile tab bar at the bottom.

The closest alternative is either Floorp or Zen, with mobile Firefox and Sync, but I found Vivaldi is just smoother and a better and more well-integrated user experience for me.

I can confirm I’m a newer user (not a normie) to Nextcloud and I don’t know or really care what it uses because it works so I haven’t had to learn what it is or how to debug it.

And that’s why even static sites like Hugo blogs or even simple pages like the one OP posted should have HTTPS. Source: Studied Distributed Systems at university.

More like Current Year + 1.

There isn’t really a year of Linux. It’s just consistent growth over time, with some boosts here and there.

The AC4 image is suitable, as I will, in fact, continue pirating the hell out of Ubi games I want to play, including Black Flag which I almost 100%-ed recently (haven’t gone 100% on main missions yet).

Java is easy, Bedrock is almost impossible.

For Java, there are plenty of cracked launchers. Just find one that is a jar file and make sure you have OpenJRE installed. I think I was using SKLauncher.

For Bedrock, your only real option is finding the cracked launcher AppImage that has the ability to use .apk files. The hard part is that if you’re on an x86 platform (anything desktop that’s not using Apple’s M-Series or Qualcomm’s chips), you need an x86 apk, and the x86 apks from TLauncher will not work, I tried. You could scour the internet and find 1.8, and 1.14 (Village and Pillage) x86 apks, but they’re super old at this point. In the end, I gave up and paid £6 (UK), for Minecraft on the Google Play Store, so I can play Bedrock. It’s probably the only digital game purchase I’ve ever made.

Apparently, there was some drama within Organic Maps and this is a fork. Idk if it’s worth it.

How does one even get to add search plugins on Qbittorrent? And how do you make sure they’re any good i.e you only visit the good ones?

Depends. Do we count in-app purchases of apps I’ve modded or obtained pre-modded? Do we count the cost of films as one-off rentals/purchases, or do we count them as subscriptions?

If we consider games as buying one-off licences for them that I kept in perpetuity, it would be in the few hundreds, probably about £400.

If we include streaming, as a subscription service that I’ve used for the last decade roughly, then 10×12×£10 (assuming a tenner a month), we’re looking at £1,200 saved for streaming.

However, at least 20-30 films have been downloaded by me personally, so assuming a cost of about a fiver per film (idk how much films go for these days), we’re looking at another ~£700.

But also, we have to include ad-free YouTube as YT Premium. And even if we’re to assume that YT Premium is anywhere close to the service I provide myself with, i.e downloading things I actually keep as digital files forever, it would still cost a lot. About 5 years of YT Premium would be (according to ChatGPT because I didn’t want to research price increases), just over £800.

But I’ve also watched both Netflix and Disney+ exclusives, namely Squid Game and The Mandalorian, so I guess streaming would’ve been much more expensive?

Also, we have about a year of Spotify, which ChatGPT (easier to give more accurate estimates) claims is just over £140.

Adding to that, apparently the cost of Netflix over the same period is just over £1,500, so that changes the total.

So far, £3500, not counting in-app purchases in modded games. If we count that (which is ridiculous cuz I would never spend that much money on games, even if I was a liquid trillionaire (meaning having £1T cash)), we’d probably be looking at something in the hundreds of thousands if not millions.

If my parents were hosting Jellyfin, I’d have done the same.

Though in my family, I’m far more likely to be the one hosting, and receiving requests

It all makes sense now! Like the 1234 password!

It’s already available in pretty high quality from pirate stream sites.

Also available to download as “PRE-HD” whatever that means.

Edit: PRE-HD means it’s the workprint

I’d love to become rich, so I can keep on pirating as a statement. Or to show a rich guy how much better pirating is as a service.

Maybe then we can get their attention and prove that enshittification is the problem, and not the cost.

How would you feel if I took it from you?

Correction: How do I take it from you?

I think it’s time we move from threats to actions.

Yeah, but it’s not a new war. It’s an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it’s time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be our blood.

I get where you’re coming from but I wish apps on GNOME could look uniform even without everyone kneeling to libadwaita, and we could just get uniform theming on all DEs.

GNOME.

Specifically their decisions on CSD over SSD (client and server side decorations)

I haven’t really had any other dogmatic issues with projects.

I’d recommend yt-dlp for downloads.

If you want to stream, you can use yt-dlp in combination with mpv,

OR

You can just install FreeTube if you want SponsorBlock as well.
