Premium has background playback! I use it to listen to video essays with my phone in my pocket when I’m working, screen off. Revanced was my go-to before premium but it has been a pain for me to patch recently (I’m just lazy) so I’m just using stock YT with Premium.

so true

Yeah I’ve tried this but the experience isn’t all there for me imo. It’s certainly a great project though.

Huh, I must’ve misremembered.

I’m a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can’t adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I’ve made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.

Graphene sandboxes Google services heavily, and is enabled and used only at user discretion. It doesn’t get higher priority than any other user application on the device. Calyx is alright but I would recommend Graphene much more than Calyx. I don’t like either of these though unless you are a privacy nut. If you just want to get out of Google, LineageOS works plenty well although without many of the creature comforts of a stock ROM.

idk man at least their dictators are somewhat competent rulers

Proxmox sounds like it fits their use case , it’s a useful and tweakable solution, and because it’s based on KVM you can pass through hardware with IOMMU. Personally, I run Proxmox on my (admittedly not very good) home server with like 12 gigs of ram and a processor from the early 2010s, handles a few VMs just fine with hardware passthrough to a TrueNAS VM. I do run a lot of my micro services on some cheap thin clients (DNS mainly) for redundancy as I mentioned, they were cheap. Home Assistant OS is happy on Proxmox as is Jellyfin with hardware acceleration.

This post feels vaguely similar to Putin’s justification of his invasion of Ukraine, something something denazification (when only very few extremists were actually Nazis).

As much as I hate Windows, Microsoft etc, I also have grown to like the Windows Terminal. Kitty is my true favorite but Windows Terminal is a close second due to the tight integration with WSL and Microsoft’s cloud stuff as well as theme support and some other things.

Well not anymore apparently

Perfect, even more reason for me to keep my gaming rig on Windows 10. Seriously why would anyone consider using 11 at this point when all it is at this point is a glorified reskin with “AI” bits and pieces sprinkled on.

You’re technically right but discord really doesn’t care as long as you’re not doing anything harmful with the client mods. Big YouTubers like No Text To Speech publicly promote and use Vencord and never get banned, I think his server is even a discord partner.

Maybe I’m just a good Kansas City boy but although the game is quite, I don’t know interesting, it does bring great economic stimulus to places where the teams and games are held. I’ve experienced this first hand with the little Renaissance that KCK and KCMO are both having right now, a lot of that helped by the NFL. I don’t like the NFL organization sure, but they have helped us.

Idk about the mobile release but wasn’t roller coaster tycoon written mostly by hand in assembly? I’m probably wrong but I feel like that could be why, not arbitrary for that game lol

It’s a version name? The name of their OS is Vanilla OS and it’s the second version.

there are lots of cheap domain registrar options but if you’re looking for a cheap .com I always go for cloudflare, they also offer .org for pretty cheap and many other options as well. The domains other than the common ones are pretty decently priced as well. I migrated all my domains there last year and it’s really simple, integrates with their DNS really well and payment is pretty streamlined.

I mean like the Bluetooth radio, not like a radio tuner. Sorry should’ve clarified

Lol and I can’t even get my TVs to output over Bluetooth! Smart TVs are dumb, why build a radio into a thing if I can’t connect both ways with it.

Some people seem to hate on it, but I love Docker, it works well for what it has to do and has relatively low overhead as far as I can tell. I personally virtualize a Debian server on Proxmox for my containers just so as to keep everything even more compartmentalized, but it takes more work than it’s worth to set up.

And if you don’t like Docker for whatever reason, you can also try Podman which is API compatible with Docker for the most part.
