that was awesome

ah, on Gnome it's relatively seamless

I don't think that's what a bad deal is. I make decisions based on what is a good deal for me and things I care about.

With YT Premium for $10/mo I get:

• support unlimited amount of creators based on watch time
• no ads
• YT Music (which is pretty good imo)
• Support infrastructure behind service

Without YT Premium for $10/mo I get:

• support 10 creators directly
• ads (or constantly fight battle to block them)

Now, I fully agree that removing features that were previously paid is a dick move, but those aren't why I have YT Premium anyways. I just don't think it is an objectively "bad" deal

Alright, can you elaborate on these ways? You could support a particular creator via Patreon, or by buying their merch, sure. What if somebody you've never watched before releases a very good video that you stumble upon and watch? What if you don't have the financial resources to be a part of dozens of separate patreons?

As far as I'm concerned, YT Premium is the best way for me to support all of the creators behind the videos I watch. For me, I also like YT Music so this ends up being a pretty good deal overall

is XWayland not good enough for that?

I don't think this is a good POV. The biggest reason I prefer to pay for YT Premium is so creators still get revenue from me watching their videos

while I agree with you, calling people who recommend other distro elitists, horrible teachers, and idiots is pretty combative and rude.

it's nice to have in case you want to have bad computer hygiene and hibernate instead of shutting down

second

where is the line at being small? lemdro.id just passed 1k users :)

Second the desktop app. I've accepted it won't happen at this point. PWAs are pretty close these days anyways

Can you elaborate on what functionality is missing? I hear this all the time and I haven't been able to get an actual answer as to what is missing

Yeah I dunno, I've always had good luck but I certainly believe you aren't. Maybe something to do with how it has built your model

That is strange, I've had the opposite experience. YouTube's mixes are great and interesting, and being able to pick from "familiar" and "discover" in your queue to instantly pick out different music rocks. Also the discover mix can be nice

honestly, I think YouTube music is kind of been on a roll lately with changes. I know some people were against the comment section being at it for songs, but I love it

I just researched this and that's not true. FDR tried to get 13 justices on the court, but ultimately failed.

Default install and I no longer enjoy tinkering with a device I rely on so heavily these days. I am sensitive to things slowing down and I tend to find combinations that cause them pretty often.

We're gonna have to agree to disagree then. I don't play games and currently use a Pixel 6 Pro. I occasionally feel this phone bog down and I am not a particularly heavy user. If I'm loading an intense website while streaming music and then I go to check my email I can see a few frames dropped from its 120Hz refresh rate. If I experience this with a flagship a couple of years old, I can't image the Fairphone would fare any better

This has not been my experience. I can usually tell when my phone bogs down loading an intense website or switching between 3 apps after a couple years. If I want my phone to last a long time and I want to enjoy using it I've found that it's best to start with a device that is as powerful as possible.

I really love the idea of the Fairphone, but I just can't bring myself to deal with the CPU downgrade for them generally.
