But when we ask for help as citizens, "how are you gonna pay for it, huh?"

Omg, thank you for this one. That's why I love Firefox.

Wouldn't that hit the GPU performance? I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't become a personal data farming tool.

Ah I see. Thank you

Omfg!!! Lol

How do you direct the article to the archive? Do you take a part of the article's URL and add it to that archive URL?

I don't get it

Can't read this. They want me to sign up.

Ok, this is a very good cheat sheet

Stewart is already a very well known dude and he can build his audience in a very short time. Linus started from zero. Jon is starting from 1000. He won't need to build anything. He'll only a couple of social media posts and he'll have millions of subs. Anyway, this is moot. He will still do his own thing. He doesn't even know who I am anyway. Lol

Not sure what evidence you're looking for or how I can present it. I was a gnome user for a long time and it just sips power much more than all other distros. I don't know, look it up online? Read some posts from Reddit? Lol There was talks about improving it and it looks like it HAS improved, hence my Ubuntu comment. I believe Wayland has something to do with it, too, since it scales hi res screens better than xorg

Well, you have two options. The same developer of thorium does have a Firefox one and it's called mercury. Blazing fast, too. Or you can install adblock detection bypass extension on thorium. It is an extension that's made to work with chrome alongside ublock origin to bypass YouTube adblock detection. In fact, I literally just ran into that issue today and the other extension fixed it.

This thing is blazing fast. And when I say blazing fast, I mean freaking blazing fast. I've never seen a browser this fast my entire life. Lol It's chrome but 10x faster. Give it a shot.

Ok good then. I really hate arguing with strangers on the internet shake hands

I have an Intel only 13" laptop with 1440p screen. It has a 46 wah battery. I put Ubuntu on it and it lasts forever. Checking with powertop, it idles at around 4.5 - 5 watts at 30% brightness (I don't like my screen to be too bright) and it goes up to 10 - 12 watts when I'm running a browser then dips down again once the browser is loaded up. I don't know how they do it and ON GNOME (which is known to sip so much power), but they do and I'm liking it.

You mean like Linus media group and other big YouTube channels? Those, too, have buttload of whatever you mentioned. Anyway, I'll stop here. I really hate arguing online.

I am by no means hating on the man. I love his work and admire his courage to face assholes and call them out on their bullshit. Hence I want to be able to see his episodes on YouTube. And I do understand he needs to get paid. I'm just stating my point of view, no hate or judgement. Not everyone can afford subscription/wants a subscription through a huge corporation. Many, many people would be more than happy to pay the creators directly. I do. I don't want this to spiral into an argument.

Millions of creators are "dealing" with them just fine. Not sure what so hard about setting up a patreon account or coordinating with sponsors. Pretty sure it is much easier than dealing with a multi-trillion dollar corporation. It just feels wrong he's putting his voice behind a paywall where many people could just benefit from it if it were on YouTube.

Why does he need a contract. He can just make a YouTube channel and start making money from ad revenue (I know it's not much), sponsors, patreon, memberships and so on.

And there is no setting the fix that. I've looked everywhere, but only found the one that enlarges the document, not the UI
