  • Apple Music isn't the best streaming music service — it's just the least annoying

    Jump

  • What kind of illogical comment is that? First, you bring in Microsoft to a discussion it is not a part of; second, just because Microsoft does it wrong, it doesn't give Apple a license to do things the convoluted way too.

  • Where are they now? On Nebula? I stopped watching much YouTube since couple of years, though I had a decent feed back in the day.

    Ironically, I still do use YouTube Music despite it's failings when compared to Spotify(no third party app support or shitty search results even now) but Atleast it worked for me when Amazon Prime Music refused to play in any web browser on Linux for me.

  • The last can't easily be sarcasm. In app adblockers like Adguard do have a premium subscription option(I had one for a year back in the day, yes, stupid me) and I won't be surprised if in the future some adblocker comes with such an option(should Raymond Hill stop working on uBlock Origin for whatever reason and the community couldn't pick the development up that good).

  • Whilst I am sure the article might be low quality ultimately, I still wish to see what other options they are advocating. This is clearly just a screenshot and only the first option for blocking ads.

  • At least 200+ desktop extensions to be available on Firefox Android in December

    Jump

  • Shame because the new UI is objectively shit. Autoplaying videos, less dense UI and worst of all, RES works best with old UI. I didn't need to touch my mouse to navigate Reddit all these years thanks to RES. Now, thanks to Spez, he has broken something that didn't need to be fixed.

  • Looking for some windows programs that are helpful that people don't really mention?

    Jump

  • I used most of the stuff you listed though I usually switched to mpv instead of VLC. On Linux, I used Strawberry for quite some time though I use foobar2000 on Windows. Deadbeef is a good lightweight alternative to that on Linux but always seems to play catch up to it's elder cousin.

    8 Websites Linux Users Should Have bookmarked

    Jump

  • That website has always been like this. They occasionally publish articles and I sometimes visit them for curiosity but more often than not, many articles are sheer garbage.

    Oh, it seems like they also started their own membership thing. Wow!

  • Is BT over Tor still not recommened?

    Jump

  • hoping for improvements

    There have been improvements, just on the fronts you haven't been looking for. Also, if I am correct, torrenting over Tor would be painfully slow compared to normally doing it or via a VPN. It is not worth the hassle.

  • Google Chrome updates will stop coming to some Galaxy phones - SamMobile

    Jump

  • I know this site is dedicated to Samsung phones but the title could be framed better. Chrome isn't just being stopped updating for older Galaxy phones, it is being dropped for all pre Oreo Android devices, so it has a much wider reach than just Samsung.

    Also, why does Opera require Android 12 as a minimum system requirement? I haven't used it on mobile but boy, they really cut off a lot of older android users.

  • Bitwarden passkey support starts rolling out through the browser extension

    Jump

  • The site is actually asking me for login now via Google or something else. In recent times, many sites like Howtogeek or MakeUseOf have kinda paywalled unless you login. It works properly with adblocker (uBlock Origin) once I login though.

  • Suella Braverman says rough sleeping is ‘lifestyle choice’

    Jump

  • She is trying to make Oswald Mosley feel proud for her from his grave.

  • YouTube is increasing Premium prices in multiple countries, right after an ad-blocker crackdown | You either pay rightfully for the video content you consume, or you live with the ads.

    Jump

  • Oh, I understand now, especially the second one. The only thing from Amazon's product line worth using to me is the Prime delivery service. I can't give two hoots about their Prime Music( which I lost respect for after it denied to run for me on any browser on Linux for some reason) or Prime Video.

    Jump

  • IIRC, YouTube Music is also offered as a standalone service, Atleast in some countries. However, the difference b/w YouTube Premium and just the Music service comes out to be miniscule, so folks just pay for the former.

  • Ah, so I am not the only one suffering from posts from that instance. Hexbear was so bad I had to block that instance from appearing in my feed.

  • Infosys is one of the mass recruiting companies in India, meaning they hire freshers on a large scale and soon many of them are churned out of the system. It is not a company the brightest here aspire for.

    Also, just because he worked for 70 hours, doesn't mean the next generation should as well. By that logic, one could say hey, in our days, child Labour was common, why abolish it?. The days of working that many hours should become the exception rather than the norm. And no one, should be working, more than 40 hrs a week in any case, especially when working on someone else's vision. Narayan Murthy built a decent company and is(or should I use 'was' because his statements seem to become stupider by the day) considered a business leader by many in India. Maybe if he shut up his mouth instead of axing his own foot it would be better.

  • This meme has been doing the rounds for few years now. Also, I don't remember the exact date now when Apple stopped charging for updates. I assume it has been a decent long time since they last did so. The only pain point is Windows which takes the most time to update and has basically made dual booting tougher than ever, thanks to their ever screwing of Grub configs.

  • XBPS has spoiled me - advice needed.

    Jump

  • Yes. Chrome OS is heavily modified(and locked down) version of Gentoo but I doubt any end users of Chrome OS want to experience vanilla Gentoo :p.

    Folks who use Gentoo do out of their own choosing, not because someone recommended it. It is quite technical a distro and takes some time picking up. Void, is comparatively way easier to come to grips with than Gentoo.
