@BallShapedMan @Vivaldi ¡, despite being a Chromium, Vivaldi has less relations with Google than Mozilla. Vivaldi is a good and reliable privacy alternative.

@Vivaldi, what are desktop icons? Never use it, not even the recycle bin. Some icons in the Task bar where they should be.

@[email protected] @[email protected], apart of Andi as main search (it’s philosophy and ethics me remember a lot of the ones of Vivaldi, despite using AI), I use Startpage, mainly for images, Mojeek and some other specific ones. I don’t use Google search since at least 10 years, nor Bing, which anyway don’t have so reliable results.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected], for me all open in Vivaldi, but clicking in a Windows link the search engine switch to Bing, even when I don’t have it in my search engin list.

@voracitude @SuperRon08, the Windows market share is mostly because since a lot of years, if you buy an PC, you buy it with an installed Windows by default, which is part of the price the user paid for the PC (!!!).

Only in recent times are more and more vendors which sell the PC without OS (only preinstalled FreeDOS) and the OS to the choice of the user.

This has naturally caused Windows to be the most used OS and as a consequence the best part of the software, especially games, is developed exclusively for this OS.

It is a monopoly created artificially, generally abusively, where the attempt to predefine EDGE is just the icing on the cake.

@ajsadauskas @green, you have to understand, bottled oxygen is going to be a good business.

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars, Air pollution as a cause of global warming is even more outrageous, if we know some facts that increase the desire to find out, how long some politicians and lobbyists can last hanging by their reproductive glands.

Some historical facts:

@jon, the first was an Commodore- after this a Schneider Euro PC. PC Industrie late buyed by Amstrad. Schneider now is Schneider Electric, a French Tecnologic and Electronic industry solutiones.

@netchami, i know, that is the problem from front-ends which use the YT API, they can be blocked, Invideous no, but FreeTube and others do, not a problem of decentralized or no, YT only need to blok the API and thats all, folks. With Invidious the only problem are the stability of the diferent instances. Motionbox use an another approach and also don’t use the API.

@netchami, well, FreeTube also is nice, I used it before, but I changed it, because more and more Videos are inplayable (YT also knows FreeTube). Invidious, yes, works fine most of the time (yewtube works the best), CloudTube is dead, PokeTube also works fine and even permits to download the video (mp4 or mp3),

@netchami, well the UI isn’t a problem, less in fullscreen, front-end like Piped, Invideous, PokeTube and others a lot of times fails because the instance is down or well, no couldn’t skip the YT block, no such problems in MotionBox, apart it can access videos and music from almost all streaming platforms, even from TikTok and Facebook, not only from YT.
Yes, the UI isn’t to anyone’s taste, but the operation is impeccable and blazing fast.

@netchami, anyway I’ve found a good(maybe the best) substitute for YT, take also an look on this, I love it.

@netchami, yes, the same as I have in the Vivaldi adblocker, but this is a continuo game of Cat and Mouse and uBO need to be updated almost dayly if it want to work, because YT anti-adblocker do it too.
This script works different, YT don’t even know that you watch the video with this, it’s like a front-end in the same YT page.

@netchami @FrenLivesMatter, or better, along with uBO, install Tamper-, Greasy or ViolentMonkey with this script, that solve the problem compleetly

@GeekFTW @agame, or simply avoid to use the YT site, using eg. this

@JRepin, best combination is uBO + this one

@Risk, i don’t confuse it,but an excess of delegacion IS at the end subordination. The calligraphy is only one example of a general tendency.
Of course there are people who continue to practice it and are sought after, precisely because there are few of them. But the vast majority do not have a writing that can be defined as such and many can no longer do so without using a spell checker, moving to a poor general vocabulary.
Human beings are very comfortable having others do their work and this with new technologies is becoming more pronounced, even with AI that turns on the lights or TV on command, because the 3 steps to the switch is too much effort.

@antidote101 @narwhal, the self-defense of monopolies, when their empire begins to collapse.

PS , apart of the adblock this will also help in YT
