Schwim Dandy

Never trust a rant from a person that can’t install Windows.

There’s some people that can’t come up with positive references, even when cherrypicked. I’d probably fall into that group.

People who craft intentionally misleading titles with a qualifier at the end that diffuses the statement have been proven to be pedophiles, schwim says.

Someone point this man to a soap opera instance, stat!

No, because I don’t live in a binary world where I have to pick one over the other.

Out of curiosity, how many years back are you remembering? I can imagine it happened to me when I was 20 but its not really a thing for me at 50.

This is why people can’t take desktop linux seriously.

“It happens all the time” and “they always do *” is also comically unhelpful and useless. I’m getting a pot/kettle vibe from those that seem to take offense at my comment.

I also use FF solely and have no slowdowns on YT. I guess they like my copy of the browser.

I’m sorry but I don’t see how that check is browser-specific. Is that part happening on the browser side?

Nobody can even state that it’s actually happening “for competitive browsers” as even Chrome users are reporting an unexplained lag/slowdown. At this point, it’s just wild speculation and bandwagoning.

I chose not to wait. Greasemonkey script for blocking on desktop, Connect app for blocking on phone.

My issue(I think) is a combination of games utilizing anticheat(I’ve not gotten a single one to work yet) and also trying to play non-new games that were not designed during the Steam push for compatibility. I can’t use linux to play the games I like to play so I use a Win host for gaming and to run my linux install in a VM on the second screen.

Few games? Man, you and I are definitely having a different experience.

I don’t think the issue is performance though. The unspoken part of this comparison is in bold:

“Linux vs Windows tested in 10 games. In the games we could find that work on linux, the performance was 17% faster on average. In all the rest of the games, Windows worked 100% better.”

Any politics and porn servers or communities get blocked.

I can’t say I don’t use Google as I own an unrooted pixel on the Fi network but I’ve done what I’m able to lessen the information given to them by stopping the use of the search engine, browser and sandboxing any Google pages in my FF browser. It started bothering me how much I was relying on one company for nearly everything online.

My next phone will likely be rooted and running a different OS.

I won’t sit through a non-organic product placement. If I’m watching a guy weld up a body panel and he tells me how great a welder is, it doesn’t bother me. If I’m watching and he starts telling me about his VPN or a phone game, that shit’s getting skipped.
