I keep hearing about revanced, but I never end up checking it out because there’s always another option. I used to use Invidious for everything, then I used Newpipe for everything, and now I use Grayjay for everything. I have faith that if Revanced goes down, there will be another Revanced in days.

1. Thanks, I will look into it
2. She can but it would make her sad. I don’t get it, but since this is the only thing we fight over I count myself lucky

Normally thats a good option but my wife really likes watching Disney+, Dropout, and football on the NFL app, so if I did that I think I would be sleeping on the couch. Besides, I don’t mind the ads, they’re all in Spanish anyway

I mean, their algo might be shit already. All its ads for me have been in Spanish for a while now. I do not speak Spanish nor do I have any interest in telenovellas lol

That’s what I’m doing now, but I have to go through the Roku part to get to it. Also roku scans everything coming through the HDMI ports to try and recognize media so it knows what ads to give you

Sick! I wanna check that out

No, really. That’s what most people do.

You know how most people would think you are a hacker if you started running commands in terminal/CLI? Same thing with torrenting. Torrenting is this scary program that hackers use to put malware on your computer.

My wife was raised by an IT guy and uses firefox for everything, and she is also scared by torrenting. She’s more educated on it, sure, but she’s still scared of it because she thinks the FBI will arrest her for downloading pirated software. She’s much more comfortable going to one of those sketchy streaming sites behind the protection of a good adblocker.

Especially since a good ad blocker gets rid of all those ads.

It’s what I do. I know for myself that torrenting would be my personal rubicon. I wouldnt be able to do it, morally speaking, without reseeding, and then I would have to start investing in a home server and get really stuck-in. I’m just not ready to do that until I’m willing to fully commit.

I have a friend that has been trying for the past 2 years to get me to stop using Linux because its a “security risk”. My wife is also scared of piracy and adblockers. This is what most people are like.

You are in a tech-literate bubble.

About a gig of books, and one movie called “Lensman: Secret of the Lens”

Found the weeb

A phone I’m excited for is the Bigme Hibreak Pro. Its got an e-paper screen that refreshes at a tolerable speed, and you can install apps from the Google Play store which run just fine. Will it ever play video smoothly? Fuck no. Is it cool? Also no. Is it horrifically expensive? Surprisingly, also no.

Bigme has also made some exciting (but way too expensive) progress in the desktop computer world by making a 60hz eink monitor. It frankly is terrible at most things people do on their home computers, but it can keep up just fine with the boring work stuff like Vim and the MS Office Suite. Am I willing to pay almost $2k for a monitor for work? Absolutely not, but I’m glad it exists.

When I wanted to revisit Harry Potter via audiobook, I pirated the books, and I will do it again someday.

Look, your problem is all the competition. Lots of Linux users putting out Linux memes. So, to get a foothold you simply need to kill all the Linux users.

Zorin comes with the Nvidia drivers if you want them

If your Switch is the one in the picture, I dont think jailbreaking it is going to do much for you.

Oh no

Isn’t there a billionaire who was in the news during CoVid because he gave his employees a living wage during lockdown by not paying himself anything for that time? He’s still a billionaire, BTW, he owns assets that he can liquidate whenever he wants

Mine doesn’t work. Definitely linux’s fault that I destroyed its wifi giblets while moving my PC a bit too aggressively
