That’s one way to circumvent adblockers. Just turn your entire site into the ad…

I use it for pretty much everything I care about that’s posted online. I selfhost RSSHub to get updates from sites that don’t provide RSS. It’s much more convenient to have a universal inbox that’s under my control than have to remind myself to manually check dozens of browser tabs, all with their own algorithmic “for you” feeds. barf.

Not just YouTube. Download everything. No exceptions.

People still search reddit?

Now pipe it into toilet

I know. I’m just stuck with gmail and doing what I can

I use Gmail at my workplace. They can go right ahead and use my emails that I check using Thunderbird to send me targeted ads if I ever use their search engine (I use DuckDuckGo).

There are scripts on some sites that attempt to block right-click saving, you know.

Those RSS feeds have been so heavily rate-limited over the past year that they were practically unusable already. I’m glad they’re finally making an announcement about it. No more ambiguity. No more aggressively sporadic 403 and 429 errors.

Go ahead and kill the only reason I ever used your site.

Switched before Windows 7 came out on my personal computer. Vista was a disaster.

Switched fully to Linux at work too much more recently. Feels good.

Ads require streaming. I prefer watching already downloaded videos so I don’t need to worry about having a stable internet connection.

But I’m watching through RSS feeds, yt-dlp + VLC player, so browser adblockers aren’t really relevant to my use-case.

I self-host RSSHub so my reader can pull feeds for websites that don’t provide them. I don’t host my reader, though.

All of the issues were caused by Windows. Switching them to Mint was seamless experience and everyone has been happier after the move.

You can get adapters to convert USB A to C. YMMV for that, though. I’m not the primary user of these computers, so I needed to make sure the trackpads were working properly.

Files were already backed up at multiple locations. I wasn’t using cmd.exe to transfer files. I was using it to attempt to fix broken WiFi and touchpad drivers.

why would you need to run updates on the old systems at all?

Ask Microsoft.

When I was in the process transitioning my lab from Windows 10+11 to Linux Mint, I was spending more time in Windows’ cmd.exe attempting to debug issues introduced through Windows Update than the Linux Terminal.
