I'm resigned to probably giving up youtube (at least for a while, as the ad cat and mouse continues) in the not too distant future. Little of value will be lost... and going back to seeing ads is not worth the price.

Rather obvious that 'What product did live up to its advertised claims?' is a more useful question...

So far fine in FreeTube, touch wood.

Cheers.

I've had MeGusta at top weight for quite a while (years I think), should probably try ELiTE, wonder what the bitrate diff is...

Interesting, do you have an automated workflow for this?

You're welcome to your opinion ;)

Fair cop on the inconveniences, although I've found it fine after an adaption phase, coming from fedora it was lesser than hopping to a new distro. Hard agree on knowing the nuances being problematic, clarity and accessible education is sorely missing, certainly the steepest part of the learning curve.

I just run 'distrobox upgrade -all' in my Daily.service, didn't need quadlets (although after adaption I quite like them for containers now).

Why would I use a system that isn’t supposed to change if I want to change it?

There's a bunch of benefits, atomic updates, intrinsic rollback, security of immutability, safe automatic updating and it goes on. Some things are not quite ready yet, e.g. things like sddm which should probably install themes to /etc (which they're working on), so as often happens in linux, workarounds ensue. Making one directory mutable does not destroy all the benefits.

Yeah, I had that at the beginning, then added to my fstab

#enable sddm and therefore good themes
/var/sddm /usr/share/sddm none rbind 0 0

and KDE themes with sddm components install fine now (most themes install fine into /home, does Gnome really not have per user themes?)

Essentially you can tactically make things mutable as needed, use sparingly, but maybe not even trying lessens your opinion, no?

Yeah, I had that at the beginning, then added to my fstab

# enable sddm and therefore good themes
/var/sddm /usr/share/sddm none rbind 0 0

and then it works, kludgy, but sddm is apparently working on allowing themes in /etc, sometime soon.

Inconvenient package management

Fair.

If there's a flatpak, no problem.

Once you realize you do package management in distroboxes rather than the main OS (rpm-ostree etc), no problem, plus you have the AUR at your disposal.

So Ima go not fair, although there is something of an education gap atm.

Mffh cool, and annoying in this case, but generally good. Might just stick with it and use another instance as needed. Thank you kindly for letting me know.

K, seethe mildly with justification, but enjoy it :)

Wasn't saying it applies, just that it's required for murder (1st degree anyway) as the headline spoke. You're probably righter than me, though.

‘Cause I've got faith of the heart

I'm going where my heart will take me

I've got faith to believe

I can do anything

I've got strength of the soul

An' no one's gonna bend or break me

I can reach any star

I've got faith

I've got faith

Faith of the heart

Also, ewww...

Have you looked at LocalAI seems pretty useful, if I was setting up again I'd go containerized...

Totally, if you need it use the century old, high density, well understood fuel, it's just good engineering. Doesn't need to be carbon negative. Even rockets are using methane these days...

There are probably use cases for hydrogen, but they're likely large installations, either fixed or trains / ships. Toyota spent a decade trying to make it smaller and failed.

Free warning, seeth not, be happy you know...

Wave?
