I don’t administer Linux, I use Linux. Unless you’re conflating being an end user with being an administrator, in which case I would say that’s a rather pretentious way to put it. Nobody walks around saying they administer Windows because they have a laptop. It sounds stupid.

Anytime you’re reduced to arguing semantics, it’s not even an argument worth engaging in. So I’m not going to bother responding further to you.

You got me there. Doing stuff like that on other platforms like the Switch totally prevented piracy, so I suppose it’s a good thing they didn’t do it on a system that thousands of devs know down to the kernel without having to reverse engineer.

It’s built on Linux. Specifically Arch Linux. So no, there’s nothing they could have done to lock it down to prevent piracy. Not even if they wanted to.

As long as you keep seeding torrents indefinitely, you’re contributing by keeping those torrents alive. That’s a huge benefit to the community, and it’s why you can get upload credit even if you aren’t uploading.

And the fact that ebooks take almost no space means you can indefinitely seed thousands of books even if it’s from a small hard drive.

So don’t feel useless. In fact, I want to thank you for helping out.

The cool thing about that is that you can use it on iOS simply by visiting the Audiobookshelf instance directly on the web. So technically, it’s available on every platform that has some kind of browser.

Windows. Windows caused me to get into it.

I’ve no plans to go back to my abusive ex.

If you’re planning on gaming, and you have an NVIDIA card, then I would like to recommend Bazzite. I’ve been using it for months, and I’m very happy with it. Have it installed to my Steam Deck as well as my PC.

Uh oh. You hurt their feelings. Up against the wall for you, buddy.

Three percent of all browsers is a fuckton of users, considering that includes mobile users who are going to be less likely to change their browser then desktop users. There is an estimated 6.92 billion smartphone users. Three percent of that is more users than there are people in the United States.

Damn, they’re self-defensing so hard.

What’re you talking about? I use a Firefox plugin that blocks ads on Twitch. I haven’t seen one since I started using it.

As an American, one of the most positive things that could happen to the world is the abolishment of the United States as a government. We’re directly or indirectly responsible for most of the ethnic cleansing that has gone on the last several decades.

I had this problem, but after not being able to resolve it I tried Bazzite and found the gaming experience was much better there anyway, so switched. This problem doesn’t exist on that distro.

I’m sorry to hear that. Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Idk, but bone cancer looks like a bad way to go.

Even in the US, a corporate monopoly trying to force people to use their browser will trigger an antitrust lawsuit from the government. Microsoft has already faced one for what they did with Edge, and they didn’t even do DRM.

Besides, it’s YouTube. If you can’t use it anymore, it’s not gonna be the end of the world.

People are acting as if losing YouTube and other Google services is the end of the world. It is not. You don’t need Google, even if you use Android.

A device that allows me to kill any billionaire, world leader, or politician remotely, anywhere in the world, without them being able to stop me.
