Happens to me every now and then with FreeTube. Usually gets fixed with updates.

Mull is unmaintained. IronFox is the current fork.

Always good to have options. People need to find whatever works for them.

I have similar issues with YouTube in Firefox on Windows. But I think my aging laptop might just be having trouble loading the script-riddled site more than anything.

Unofficial Freetube for Android.

I’m personally using p2.freedns.controld.com for anyone looking for an alternative.

I’ve heard of enough people wanting ads too. And people complaining that they want them back after they were blocked.

It gets harder and harder to have any faith in humanity these days.

Click/ragebait to force angry people to open the article because they think it’s about copilot and not just the key.

As much as it sucks, if you seriously want to use Linux you’ll have to adjust. It’s not the same system and doesn’t have all the same software. Same thing as moving to Mac. Moving from Android to iPhone or vice versa. If you are unwilling or unable to adjust then that’s fine. But realise that it’s not the OS that’s at fault. Especially when there are people who use it every day.

Instead of using an insecure and out-of-date OS, if you cannot move to Linux then at least use the LTSC version of Windows. It updates more slowly and is supported for much longer. Can also activate it the same way you activate the normal versions.

That’s how it works in a perfect system, not on Twitter or other corpo social media. The algorithm pushes you down while lifting all the rage-inducing posts, because they drive engagement and your posts don’t.

Sure, I agree with that. But that should, at the very least, not be included in a general purpose distro aimed at beginners unless they offer it as a seperate download or something. I feel like this kind of thing should be a seperate edition of the distro or something for people who actually want it.

Anything like that should absolutely be left up to the user. The distro should not decide that for you. If you want it, install it and set it up yourself.

I can’t believe I missed that. If it’s an online installer it would automatically be up to date after install.

That’s just obvious, thanks for pointing it out. Think I need more coffee.

The ISOs for this haven’t been updated since 2022. Is this an older install or do you have some other reason for choosing to use this?

Also, if this is a new install how was the upgrade process?

Considering your previous experience with Ubuntu, I would recommend Debian. Just make sure to get the right ISO for what you want.

Since you’re complaining about Ubuntu not working with ACPI power states, my next recommendation would be Endeavour to be more up to date and get fixes and stuff sooner. It’s pre-configured Arch.

I’m all for user agent settings, but I don’t want to mess with that for work stuff. So, I just use Chrome or Edge for that one site.

I know it is. That’s exactly why I mentioned that happening. Sorry if that was unclear.

ETA: I just read my previous comment again. I meant to say Vivaldi, not Opera.

I don’t use it, but from what I understand it’s from the developers of Opera before it became a Chinese spyware browser. Back when it was good. It’s great if you’re looking for customization and options.

As a disclaimer, the reason I don’t use it is because I need a Chromium browser for work and Vivaldi (a Chromium based browser) gave me an error that said I need to use Chrome or Edge.

I agree with spreading it across multiple smaller servers. Sadly, this is my third account after my previous instances shut down. So, there are some risks on that side as well.
