It’s a real shame that we can’t just tell those sites what we want to see, or not see for that matter. Instead were victims of AI/THE ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM. I think that’s part of the plan though, keep us on their site searching for content we actually want instead of finding it and being done. I’m dying for a YouTube replacement to come about. I’ll enjoy that until the inevitable enshittification comes about.

As dumb as this is probably going to sound, you’re most likely getting those recommendations because you reported them. YouTube sees that as an interaction and that’s what they’re chasing after. Same for giving videos a thumbs down.

It’s definitely a very well made desktop environment. It’s what I started with back in 06-08 when I started using Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a pretty well built mate flavor, as does Linux mint. The Ubuntu mate flavor is a great one to see what’s functionally possible with mate. There’s a bunch of preconfigured set ups matching various other operating systems and some unique configurations. On my main PC, I’m running garuda xfce, but with bspwm as the window manager. For my laptop, I’m running pretty much the same set up, but with Linux mint Debian edition in xfce/bspwm as well. Your set up is still rad though, I really dig it!

I dig it, although it’s not very reminiscent of the gnome 2 I remember. Correct me if I’m wrong, didn’t gnome 2 get forked into Mate?
