Well yeah, captcha/recaptcha was never designed to stop bots, but to spy without consent. Let's not talk about the profit made by using it as unpaid labor to "decode" text and images for other companies. Should have been ditched long time ago.

L after L in EU. Yesterday it was butchering GDPR, today it's putting backdoors in end to end encryption. What is next? The normal people can only take so much before they start burning shit and poking holes with pitchforks.

What?!? Please no! Can someone explain to me how this will help the businesses, because I don't see the downsides from GDPR?

I pay for YouTube because it does give more revenue than watching an ad to the creators. I pay 6$ and watch hundreds of hours monthly. If it was more than that I will consider alternatives and AdBlock (what I was doing before started my sub). To each their own :)

Some do, others don't and as someone else said i am not going to make Patreon and do monthly sub to each of them. As I said I watch hundreds of hours per month and it's not from 4-5 creators. For me it's worth - I pay for the infrastructure and some support for the people I watch. If it's free for you it means someone else is paying.

They are the most well known private equity firm, but when I learned they are in the 40th place of how many assets they own and manage I was flabbergasted... Worth giving in some more time to understand what happened to the financial world in the past 25-30 years. https://www.visualcapitalist.com/... . Personally I can't wrap my head around how much money this ultra rich club has.

That is an easy way to make less traffic from people that don't really care. When I see it, I close the page and look for the next result.

If you really need to know what is written there I guess you can Log in or use redlib or something like that.

endeavourOS with Nvidia since 1,5 years... First on x11, and before several months moved to Wayland. Never had an issue related to the GPU. I'm not sure if the other distros have really such big problems or it's meme propaganda, that Linux isn't ready?

Linux gaming is a thing. Lutris and steam are working quite well. In some games I have better performance than windows. That being said not everything is working, some games are not working at all and other games have quite some settings and fiddling until they work. Check protondb where you can see users comments and game compatibility ranking for the games you play. Sometimes I want to go back to windows, but for the last 5 months I've booted windows once or twice. There is a learning curve and getting used to Linux, but in my opinion it is worth it. If you want to transition from windows don't go with gnome. Start with kde or xfce, or cinnamon.

Just out of curiosity how much would one such "operation" cost? I mean, it doesn't work, but they had to pay for the AI usage nevertheless.

I'm using endeavourOS with Nvidia 4090 with proprietary drivers and it works fine for most games without tinkering. For issues with Linux gaming you can check protonDB. Steam, lutris and heroic game launchers are doing wonders for a big portion of the gaming options on Linux. I wouldn't change the 3080 with AMD if I were you.

It's an illusion. It's a bit like the spinning ballerina, which can change the rotation it spins with the power of the mind... Shadows can truck our brains. Try to look at this picture slightly from the right and imagine the light source comes from top left... Maybe that way you will be able to see it like they are upside down.

I did the same when the API changes were introduced and my app didn't work anymore. Open source is the way to go.

On Apple they were intentionally gimping your phone with updates and they got sued to change that practice. So you were correct to think that.

A couple years ago I read that Filecoin has teamed up with the internet archive to synchronize the data on the Blockchain. I'm not sure how far they are yet, but it's something that could work if it doesn't turn out to be just crypto hype in the end.

Tell me about it... Started clicking "Do not recommend this channel" solely based on the thumbnail - if there is trump, musk or anything political, I clicked the button. Recently I started noticing pro Chinese "propaganda" which is something I don't want to watch either.

My solution: sticking mainly to subscribed channels and if I don't see anything I want to watch I'll try the YouTube feed algorithm.

I need YouTube word filter or figure out how to do the same I did for Lemmy and reddit in ublock custom filters. Example I found for reddit which works for me: reddit.com##article[aria-label]:has-text(/tesla|trump|vance|biden|republic|democrat|conservative|senate|congress|candidate|politic|healthcare|capitalism|billionaire|inflation|corporation|greed|tariff/i)

I'd love the same thing for YouTube, but I don't know how to configure it.

Openwebui has a lot of functionality like custom plugins, filters, pipelines and whatnot.

What are you looking to enhance and what do you feel like you are missing there?

I play overwatch on endeavouros and I have better experience on it than in windows. League of legends will stop working soon. In general most of the games with rootkit anticheat clients will not work on Linux. On protondb you can see rankings and user comments about games. Last I checked 2% of all games are not working on Linux.

I've been using endeavourOS for 1,5 years already and love it. Most of my games run with little to no tinkering. I've had no major issues that I couldn't resolve with some googling or asking someone who knew better. Before I ended up with endeavourOS I have tried several distros ( mx Linux, Ubuntu, Garuda, Fedora, nobara, popOS ) and with all of them I had different issues that I was not too keen on troubleshooting. I would avoid Garuda and just go with Arch or endeavourOS for gaming.
