I’m a scrub that pays for YouTube Premium and I’ve also been running into songs and videos that just don’t play recently because I’m using uBlock Origin.

I’m not sure off-hand since I’m not too familiar with VLC.

I would imagine it could be an issue in a graphics driver at the kernel (amdgpu?) or user level (mesa?). It could also be a problem in something higher up.

I would recommend posting an issue in the VLC repo and see if you can get better support that way.

Can you turn off hardware decoding and see if it works then?

Most of the embedded world uses those.

These would be great for backups if they’re cheap enough.

My older brother got me into Ubuntu when I was around 12. He basically showed me the basics, like the terminal and a couple commands, then just told me to manpage or Google everything else.

Then I got Linux for the Wii and that really got me into the nitty gritties of Linux.

I don’t think it’s very useful at generating good code or answering anything about most libraries, but I’ve found it to be helpful answering specific JS/TS questions.

The MDN version is also pretty great too. I’ve never done a Firefox extension before and MDN Plus was surprisingly helpful at explaining the limitations on mobile. Only downside is it’s limited to 5 free prompts/day.

You can (could?) get Thinkpads with Ubuntu preinstalled.

…such as?

I’ve had Ziply Fiber before (but not 50 Gbps) and would max their upload for months and they didn’t even bat an eye. It’s the only ISP that I would ever recommend.

If you had really slow Internet, like smoke signals or semaphores across a nation, you could characterize it as millibit:

1 bit over 1000 seconds = 1 millibit/s.

But yeah, it’s basically meaningless in today’s age for Internet speeds.

I got a free computer and upgraded the processor to an i7-6700T (eBay) and some old SSDs. It measured around 15W and I haven’t had any problems with it. It is miles ahead of using any Pi or ARM-based SBC. I would really recommend just finding a used computer nearby, if possible. Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace has some killer deals.

I feel like most average people (regardless of age) don’t even know alternatives to internet browsers exist, so why would I expect a judge to know? They’re obviously not experts in every field, it’s up to the attorneys to inform them and persuade them one way or another.

Are people here unable to see that the layman might not know what Firefox is off-hand?

• founder has donated several thousand dollars in support of anti-gay-marriage groups
• they optionally replace ads on websites with their own ads
• they are associated with crypto schemes (like their own cryptocurrency), and previously promoted an ftx widget
• they sometimes add affiliate links to the end of urls, so they can collect revenue

For anyone wondering, this paper is theoretical (modeled using a method called DFT).

I don’t write books but I’ve helped written a couple textbooks which used LaTeX. I personally use TeXstudio, but there’s many clients out there. If you appreciate beautiful typesetting, you’ll likely enjoy TeX despite its learning curve.

Well, your post implied the majority was for removing the bot entirely—which isn’t accurate. I was just noting that a majority of folks would like to keep the bot around, with or without tweaks.

But yeah, if bots anger you, you ought to just tick “hide bot accounts” in your settings and move on. 👍

Because you seemingly misunderstood the results of the poll. Your post implied an “overwhelming response” that were against keeping the bot, when the actual results were a majority of keeping the bot around.

Why not just go into your settings is hide posts from bots? I feel like that’d be easier than blocking every bot individually.

It’s 48 against versus 58 for keeping the bot (and 20 votes abstaining), where against is “the bot should be removed” and keeping is either keeping the bot as-is or modifying it slightly.
