FreeTube uses Invidious proxy (if enabled).

Newpipe uses Piped proxy.

What?

Unfortunately Proton has very limited support for Linux.

If you installed via the Discover Store, you probably installed the old, unofficial Flatpak version that hasn't been updated in over a year.

Proton actually JUST released a new "stable" Linux client. Here is the link with instructions to install via the Arch repository: https://protonvpn.com/support/official-linux-client-arch/

Unfortunately you DO have to use the terminal to install it.

Alternatively you can do what I did and buy a gl.inet router which comes with OpenWRT pre-installed and it's an absolute breeze to get a VPN managing traffic on your router directly across your entire network and not having to fuck with that shitty Linux client ever again.

That's because only a very small percentage of creators get enough views to make tangible amounts of money...probably the same ones you actually watch.

LOL no PS = Pro Skater

...yes? They do.

I would absolutely love to see a revitalization on proxy software specifically designed to eliminate ads and tracking.

You're in luck because we already have several. Namely Piped and Invidious.

I see a lot of people saying "but that's how creators get paid"

And they're not wrong. But they put themselves in this position when they uploaded their videos to servers owned by one of the worst corporations in the world, with massive privacy implications, and no alternatives.

I watch them on other platforms when they make it available.

If you're on Android I'm actually going to recommend a new app from Futo called GrayJay. It's cross-platform so you can watch videos from YouTube, Twitch, PeerTube, Rumble, Kick, etc. all from a single app.

Most Linux distros have an app store AKA "package manager" to manage software.

Flathub is the main repository where updates are sent.

I went to 1337 and literally all I got was ads.

ones of the torrent sites

Great, thanks...

I was looking for the new Steam game...

I'm so very confused.

Vimm.net seems to be entirely comprised of emulators.

I found it on c/crackwatch. It links to this predb site which prompts you to download a text file that has the same instructions in it as the website. The first instruction says "extract". Extract what? It also says I have to change firewall settings so the game can't connect to the internet and I've no idea how to do that.

I don't see Tony Hawk or any other games on that megathread site.

All these torrent sites just seem to link back and forth to each other.

Search results for a good place to find Torrents turn up nothing but VPN ads.

Which megathread?

Why would they change the name instead of the version number? 🤦‍♂️

Thread hijack:

Has anyone found a Tony Hawk PS1+2 file? Not about to pay $40 for some online-only BS.

You don't get to dictate what the rest of us do.

No one is trying to dictate what you do. I'm making you aware that your choices impact everyone else and expressing my dismay that you and other purchasers don't seem concerned about the direction of this industry.

I'm not sure I understand why you consider online-only "anti-consumer."

I mean it's very simple. It benefits the corporation. It has zero benefit to the consumer, and several drawbacks, including the inability to play anytime there's not an active internet connection (mobile), and the inability to play when the developer inevitably goes out of business or their servers go down, whether temporarily or permanently.

It's just the direction this series has taken.

I don't know what this means. It's not "just a direction", it's an explicitly anti-consumer direction.

I don't have a graphics card on my PC good enough to support VR, does that mean Half Life Alyx is "anti-consumer" for being VR only?

Uhhhh no? Why would it be?

But to Blizzard, the benefits in terms of design freedom, baked-in multiplayer zones, and anti-cheating capabilities outweigh that loss.

None of these have anything to do with requiring a server ping for single player modes.

They need to ban manufacturers from making exclusive deals with their suppliers.

I'm on Lemmy cause there is no censorship

There absolutely is.
