Frugal Usenet works great for me

Yeah same, its been almost 10 years for me. I briefly tried other options like brave, but kept coming back to Firefox
I used i3 for a couple of years, but I missed the ease of having a DE that just recognised USB sticks and external hard drives, and all the other little things that you have to set up manually
I used wind scribe for a few years for torrenting on my phone andpc and never had any trouble. Once I forgot to turn on the vpn while downloading a movie on my phone at work (using the companywifi 🤦) and got an email from IT saying they’d gotten a warning and not to do it again 🤣😬
They do have a firewall option to prevent scenarios like that
Maybe you should read the manual on how to reply to a Lemmy comment
Yes exactly! Linux has its pitfalls, but the pitfalls of Linux are far more tolerable for me than the shortcomings of windows.
Macs I can’t speak for because I’ve never tried, but they seem overpriced
I started using Usenet about a year ago and much prefer it. Once you have you it set up it’s very straight forward to use, and means you don’t have to worry about maintaining your ratio, or making sure your vpn doesn’t drop out, or piratebay going down etc etc
When I discovered soulseek and could stop paying $20-$30 per CD. Incidentally, I bought an iPod round the same time and couldn’t copy my mp3s over, and that’s the last time i ever bought an apple product
Yeah I don’t see the problem here
I’ve been using nothing but Linux for 5 years and I still have problems every now and then.
My laptop is 6 years old and has been running arch Linux with xfce for most of that time. I got tired of maintaining it and changed to an “easy” Linux mint distro. It takes much longer to boot up now and feels generally sluggish in comparison to a minimal arch install. So from experience, in older hardware having a bloated distro can really slow down your system.
I’m not gonna say I know much about his history, but I am surprised so many people are jumping to take his side in this debacle. I would’ve thought in this day and age that people would be a bit more sceptical of CEOs.
Without knowing the real reasons behind it, it’s very difficult to hold an opinion on the board’s decisions
Try Usenet, you don’t need to worry about a VPN that way
Has anybody else not seen an ad yet? I’m wondering if it’s because I’m using Enhancer for youtube which also has an adblocking function 🤔
Better late than never
actually you don’t even have to type all that, just typing ‘yay’ is equivalent
bingo!
Maybe, but chances are it’ll get taken down in the next few days
