I remember the first time I saw ads on YouTube, I had just set up a new computer and wanted to test everything. So I opened Firefox and loaded a YouTube video. I got a preroll and wondered "wait ad's, on YouTube?" Then I realized I had been using AdBlock for so long I never witnessed the transition from ad free YouTube to YouTube with ads.

These days I use unlock origin, Sponsorblock and revanced. For now it still works but maybe I'll leave YouTube soon :/

Oof I envy you. I've seen my first video 1-2 years ago (the rice cooker one) and ever since I've watched all of his Videos (some three times) I'd love to get to experience all of them anew.

Yeah they're using the hell out of dark patterns and then switch them up mid process i.e. clicking the big green "Ok" Button will first be the one that gets you to pay more later you need to hit "Ok" to proceed without additional fees.

I recently went through the process with a friend. Both of us reasonably tech savvy and under 35 and we almost went mad. So it's not just old folks.

No do is not the "none superuser" version of sudo.

As the comment above stated it's part of loops. But since loop syntax are built in to bash they are actually seperate built-in commands. Because it's an available builtin autocompletion offers it to you.

The do command here is just a special command that expects a certain set of parameters and a done at the end this is why you get an error trying to run do alone because it's not adhering to the syntax properly.

I appreciate nano as a choice. Sure. But if visudo opens in nano and suddenly I have a bunch of "yoi:wq" in my sudoers I'll be upset.

It's a stopgap but Teams for Linux at least gives you Wayland support, choice of seperate window sharing and background filters

I've been using signal since forever. Recently when there was a big exodus from Whatsapp because of their changed data policies was the first time I felt an impact with response time in the app etc. I immediately set up a regular donation. A few months later they came out with there cryptocurrency scheme I decided I won't be funding any cryptocurrency so I cancelled my donations. I trust signal on the technical side implicitly. But they have lost my trust in the business side :/

Seriously. I'm just wating for a 3,5" form factor SSD where most of the chassis is cooling and inside it's just a 2230m.2

I had heard about it before and gave it a quick Google earlier. But didn't know the meme so I guess that joke went over my head :)

As stated above. I know that there are actual logs produced (I honestly would not have known where to look for them by heart but that's my shortcoming) my comment was meant to be sarcastic sorry for dropping that /s

[–] somenonewho@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry I thought I was exaggerating enough but once again sarcasm doesn't come through on the internet.

I know that actual logs are produced and can be viewed and I know that there are actual crash dumps being sent that are actually used for improvement.

Whole I don't believe in the "hide what's happening from the user" approach I get that Microsoft isn't actually malicious or hates their users.

Again sorry for dropping the /s
