Have you ever tried out rationality?

I switched from Windows 10 to Linux. Its great! in c/[email protected]

Switched from MacOS to Debian (with KDE Plasma UI) a year ago. Best decision ever.

Edit: Why 16 likes and 17 dislikes? I just told what I have done. Not sure why people can't just read a comment without clicking something...

School Spyware in c/[email protected]

It’s a laptop owned by your school, so they can install spyware if they want to.

Yeah... In some progressive countries, this would be a huge scandal, but in the USA, it's already normal...

Google seems to be blocking API access for Piped video servers in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] -4 points 10 months ago

That's true and I remember that it happened once, but was quickly patched.

I'll use it as long as I can, because the experience on the actualy UI is really bad IMO. Advertisment for scams, algorithms that help radicalizing you, not being logged in gets punished with repetitive popups, bad performance, lots of bots and trolls in the comments, etc. When reading what I just wrote, I should probably donate more money for the project....

The Linux experice in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] -2 points 10 months ago

Hmmmmm....

I use apt and brew to install console applications and flatpak for GUI apps. Usually, there are no problems... (Debian user with KDE Plasma UI)...

E.g. I want to install Spotify on Linux...

I go to flathub and find it there: https://flathub.org/apps/com.spotify.Client

I copy the command from there and execute it: flatpak install flathub com.spotify.Client

Done. I can start it successfully.

That is just Invidious https://github.com/iv-org/invidious

That's true.

And, while it may not be actively blocked, they are still on the risk of being API blocked as it is the case here.

Jein. Jein is a German word that contains Yes and No...

Invidious does not use the official API. It uses scraping techniques. The only way to block that is by blocking the IP address. But that's also risky when they host it on a cloud service or similar. YouTube tried doing that a few months ago, but the hosters found a way to overcome that..
