  • Part of the reason is to to get controlled competition.

    Same with google being the largest donator to firefox. If they wouldn’t do this it would create a hole that could motivates many others to create new innovation that could become a threat to them.

    Also so they can deflect anti monopoly laws and also because they benefit from open source themselves.


  • I love the concept, i have even been working on something similar but, big buts…

    Recommend ubuntu? While many are moving away from it.

    Ai chat with ollama as a prominent feature? Controversy aside, this survival computer better packs some hardware, which may cost more precious possibly limited power.

    Note taking app? Besides the intention to run it on ubuntu which i presume already includes something to work with markdown… any computer with a terminal can make notes as far as i know.

    Hardware scoring and community leaderboard? wtaf

    Things like offline wikipedia in kiwix are indeed pretty cool but in general the way this software describes itself feels sloppy and based more on vibes then anything though out.











  • Laughs in

    Txt file with favorite channels as input for a yt-dlp download script schedule. Combined with a selfhosted invidious and freetube desktop app for other then favorite videos.

    Honestly I am really tired of jumping trough hoops, have to make sure yt-dlp and invidious use a proxy (cloudflare warp) or google will ban your ip for being a bot.

    But having to deal with the actual YouTube site or reopening my google account is worse. Its not even (but still also) the ads at this point but pure resentment against big tech.


  • I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened.

    But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real.

    Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.
