As long as both remain free and open source I’ll allow it.

Thank you. This is more aligned with what I was hoping for. I wanted a way to access these services but still lock the device down as much as I can. Thank you for sharing.

Actually this is a more clear idea of what I was looking for. A device I could get these apps on and still have control over the device.

Thank you for the tips! This seems like it may be a good option.

Was actually unaware of SmartTube. Looks like it may cover that part for me :). I had also never heard of LineageOS, I’ll take a look there too. I have a Pi4 laying about I was going to use.

As for FireTV I may just end up going that rout, I was just curious what the options looked like. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me :).

Actually hadn’t though of this. Thank you!

I do have a pi-hole set up, but alas it won’t stop YT ads.

Bold of you to assume that you’re not the one in the mirror.

Exactly! Pirate Software talked about this a while back. Steam doesn’t want you cutting them out, and then them still being responsible for the bandwidth to download and host your game.

Its this one. And the reason is that if steam sells a game at $10 and humble sells you a steam key at $5, steam gets no profit and is 100% responsible for the bandwidth when you donlload it, for hosting the page, for the market, etc etc. Basically steam doesn’t want to assume all the work with none of the reward. Which I don’t really see an iissue with.

Yeah, I guarantee you google isn’t interested in showing you one or the other. They want the revenue from both. My only question is, if you pause an ad, can you get another ad in your ad?

I was unaware. How cool though.

Unlikely, the warframe community for Linux is pretty large. I even remember the Nobara discord had a channel just for warftame. I’ve been playing warframe for over a year on Linux with no issue. The ban is likely unrelated to proton.

Pornhub is an example of exactly this. They’ve blocked whole stares like Arkansas and Utah over these kinds of laws. I highly doubt pornhub has a physical presence in Arkansas of all places.

When I first moved to linux I felt this same way. It gets better. Now days I fucking love those 15 page ReadMes and I’m not bothered if there’s no steps for my distro. The sheer volume of documentation surrounding linux packages is insane. There’s often a ton of ways to configure and manage the to fit your needs. That freedom is what I love so much about linux.

As for the ones with 2 lines, I don’t think I’ve seen that as much. I generally would avoid them unless the source was clear what the project did.

At any rate there will come a day when it starts to click. It’s just a marathon not a sprint.

I switched in November. I have no regrets. I rarely run into issues, and having the control to make decisions over my own computer is superb.

It’s probably that lemmy is a much smaller community coupled with lemmy users likely being more tech literate, in general, than redditors. Not that people on lemmy don’t have questions but that they’re more self reliant. At least in my own case I often will spend hours digging for answers before I’d post asking.

“I promise” followed by anything. That thing will 100% not happen.
