  • Oh yes, another "No, I refuse to check the box" devs/publishers. Literally the company that made BattleEye compatible with Proton won't enable the damn thing on their most popular game. There just needs to be a big enough outcry. Which as 10 hits EOL and the SteamDeck continues to sell, the Linux userbase will grow.

  • Most modern games can work. But this is a dev issue, not a "wait until it works on linux" issue

    EAC, and BattleEye both work on Linux, all the dev has to do is tick a "Proton Compatible" checkbox. Which many publishers/devs, namely Epic, don't do because they hate linux with a red hot passion for some unknown reason.

  • As long as the game isn't a title thats using something bleeding edge, it will work day one. And as long as the game isn't using an non proton compatible anti-cheat, it should work. Unless said devs arbitrarily decided not to tick the "proton compatible" box cause of some hard-headed bullshit.

  • This, many businesses will consider Linux for various devices.

    It'll likely start as "Oh we can use it to deploy for, this this and this, and avoid putting Windows here and here, to save X dollars" as certain applications in business are not available on Linux, but others will be. It will be a slow transition in the business world. But they will do it.

  • So everyone should remain upset about the illegality of this, and how it’s anti-union.

    But it’s also good news because they’ve shifted focus. They’re focused on disincentivizing unions rather than directly shutting down unionized locations. They probably can’t afford to shut down unionized locations anymore.

    This is quite the de-escalation. This will continue on this trend, which is why all current and further anti-union activity must be challenged.

  • They asked for an alternative for youtube, not to youtube.

  • They would love to replace the Working Class with an unpaid AI.

    The irony being when they replace people with AI, they will live alone, on a doomed planet where there's not even enough of humanity left to avoid extinction.

    There they will sit, upon a throne of skulls, in an autonomous world that will outlive them, and only to serve a species that no-longer exists.

  • Responding before this inevitability gets down-voted into oblivion.

    i know this post is common, and it seems annoying to read this when all you want to do is "read the news"

    But remember, even a repeating name in a headline is propaganda and you are not immune.

  • They can’t force you to stay in this shithole.

    Not yet, you mean.

  • For desktop I use the FreeTube client. For mobile, there's various options line NewPipe and Revanced. But these are all Android Only.

  • 20% is a far cry from what it used to be, and it also depends on your use case.

    I'm spend my time online 60% on lemmy, 30% on YouTube, and 10% elsewhere.

  • Woah, are you alright?

  • Pihole was once a good adblocker, but as more and more websites realize ads being served from an external domain are easily blocked, they too push their ads through their own domain.

    Pihole is still good for some pages, but mostly, its useless as an adblocker.

  • I'm sure there are some selfhosted options for file sharing.

  • So this is how it will start.

    First it will be a back and forth war of Anti-adblockers vs Adblockers

    Then when the Anti-Adblockers start to lose, which they will, then they'll come crying to various governments with massic PAC campaigns among other insane garbage about how "Adblockers are Piracy!" and that they need to be banned.

    This will not end well.
