That’s one way to circumvent adblockers. Just turn your entire site into the ad…

Not just YouTube. Download everything. No exceptions.

People still search reddit?

I know. I’m just stuck with gmail and doing what I can

I use Gmail at my workplace. They can go right ahead and use my emails that I check using Thunderbird to send me targeted ads if I ever use their search engine (I use DuckDuckGo).

There are scripts on some sites that attempt to block right-click saving, you know.

Those RSS feeds have been so heavily rate-limited over the past year that they were practically unusable already. I’m glad they’re finally making an announcement about it. No more ambiguity. No more aggressively sporadic 403 and 429 errors.

Go ahead and kill the only reason I ever used your site.

Ads require streaming. I prefer watching already downloaded videos so I don’t need to worry about having a stable internet connection.

But I’m watching through RSS feeds, yt-dlp + VLC player, so browser adblockers aren’t really relevant to my use-case.

We have X=X+1 Outlooks and none of them are working

This guy/gal skips Windows

All of the issues were caused by Windows. Switching them to Mint was seamless experience and everyone has been happier after the move.

You can get adapters to convert USB A to C. YMMV for that, though. I’m not the primary user of these computers, so I needed to make sure the trackpads were working properly.

Files were already backed up at multiple locations. I wasn’t using cmd.exe to transfer files. I was using it to attempt to fix broken WiFi and touchpad drivers.

why would you need to run updates on the old systems at all?

Ask Microsoft.

When I was in the process transitioning my lab from Windows 10+11 to Linux Mint, I was spending more time in Windows’ cmd.exe attempting to debug issues introduced through Windows Update than the Linux Terminal.

I use RSS to aggregate my aggregators because I don’t like my reading and commenting to be tied to a single platform

8GB is enough for Windows 11. Issues only arise if you open any applications while Windows is running.

I thought those were a waste of resources when that kind of feature debuted with Windows Vista, but I’m the kind of guy who runs Xfce with animations turned off, so…

I browse the internet through RSS. You won’t convince me to go back to opening 100 different browser tabs just to keep track of all your walled gardens.

I generate my YouTube feeds through RSSHub which also uses the API, so its a bit more durable than the officially provided feeds

It also has options for filtering out shorts which is nice

I use LocalSend to transfer the files and play them on the iPhone with VLC. Only issue I have is the iOS file browser doesn’t like filenames or folders with special characters like é or ö.
