There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.

It has been doing this shit for a while. Returning results based on just one key word out of many keywords from my query.

Lately they have been even ignoring the restrictive +"keyword" syntax and returning whatever shit just so they won't admit their (or Microsoft's indexer) is shit

No needing a GPU to do intensive 3d rendering and Ray tracing

Shame they cost as much as the mid-range cards themselves. A Chinese knock off would be welcome

Enjoy this semblance of freedom while it lasts. Or take the pill and join the dark side

For a moment I thought this post was about the LTT host. And was like they could replace him with any of his doppelgangers in the group and no one will notice.

The problem with the command line line. Is that people don't understand what they are typing . what command means what. And don't really care to memorize them. I've seen tech illiterate people navigate their way through leading how a mobile OS works because of how user centric they are designed. If you give them a Linux distro with a bunch of command lines to type. They would rather call someone more knowledgeable to do it or give up on it entirely. Unfortunately this is something Linux Devs don't understand

For Linux desktop to grow past the single digit market share it is at today. It needs to be led by tech visionaries not by code evangelists . The average user doesn't care about if it's running Wayland or x11 or whatever shit you name it they only care about their OS having all the features they need and support all the latest hardware they buy.

Add to that any average Joe would freeze at the prospect of having to enter a command line to maintain their computer or use their firewall. In short for Linux to grow it needs to copy windows or macOS otherwise it will keep being used by nerds and sys admins

Most people just read the link title and not click on it. Click per 1000 views on X Twitter is very very low.

Good app.

What's weird and frustrating with some FOSS apps like NewPIpe is that they get hung up on adding some very useful and vital features that have massively been requested for years. While adding features that are only used by a minority of users.

For instance there have been discussions on the projects github issue tracker dating back many years about the addition of search filter by date of upload. Yet this feature is yet to land in the App. For all its features this is my biggest let down with the app.

WHY isn't their email client on f-droid ? isn't it opensource ?

Because the uk government conceded that there is no current technology to scan communications without compromising encryption. And have relinquished forcing companies from adding backdoors "for now" without actually removing this provision for the law. Meaning they are leaving it to the regulator "ofcom" or future governments to decide when to request compromising encryption

and that's why even Signal and WhatsApp who threatened pulling out of the UK, haven't issued any recent statement after the adoption of this law
