I hesitantly switched a while ago, have had 0 ragrets except that there are some games I can’t play like EA games. But is that really a bad thing though?

Agreed, it’s just hard to find a suitable replacement for many things like tvs, since there’s a lack of alternative apps for other platforms on things like roku or LG tvs

Pihole doesn’t block YouTube ads as it’s only a dns blocker, Google serves the ads from the same servers as the videos from what I understand. Adguard home works the same.

Invidious used to work, it’s a self hosted YouTube instance that blockw out ads and has things like sponsorblock. I have Playlet installed on my roku pointing at my instance but about a week or so ago it’s been giving only errors 😔.

If I were to bet, I’d say the campaign is ran by a company that rhymes with Smoogle

Pcs are clearly inferior, that’s like 32gb on a Mac. /s

Brother printers, I also had an older ricoh you could just buy toners and chips or even use a raspberry pi script to reset the chip page count

They can order both on Amazon duh…

“yeah but that’s like having 32GB on a lame PC”

My best purchase in the last couple of years was a 4k Sceptre TV from Walmart. Super cheap, good enough video quality and is dumb, just turns on to 4hdmi ports. That way I can just plug in whatever I want, or get a $30 roku and replace it whenever they update it to the point where it lags on basic menu navigation like my previous tvs.

Fuck all that bloatware, ad infested crap.

Pop os is pretty awesome. Using it now and been gaming just fine. I shouldve made the switch years ago.

You had me at the ability to block content creators. The fact that YouTube doesn’t have this is insane.

A lot of Amazon sellers are just drop shipping shit from aliexpress/temu they don’t even bother changing the pictures or descriptions.

Slay the spire is like 8 bucks and disco elsyium is like 4 but that’s about it.

I own a Mach e. Seeing Ford that high is terrifying to think how bad it can get because as high as Ford is on that list, it sucks pretty bad.

You know what Mario needs? An AI companion!

Yeah but AI is so hot right now, we just need to make an article about it.

Cloud sync also requires the drm, but the advantage that gog and itch have over steam is that for most games you just get the executables and you’re good to go.

Just made the switch to pop os myself, all my games running fine even ff xiv which I was most worried about. Not sure why I didn’t do this sooner. Come tax season I’ll just spin up a windows vm for hrblock or whatever I decide to use.
