Exciting! Sort of interestingly, I never dual booted or anything, I just jumped straight to Linux.
Honestly, it’s really not that bad. Linux has come a long way since I started out, and while I usually make it harder for myself than it needs to be, I’ve seen young middle schoolers installing and using Linux, I’ve seen retired professional musicians with no technical background install and use Linux. Especially with all these new fancy atomic desktops, like Silverblue, Bazzite, and Kinoite. Admittedly, I have managed to break a Kinoite installation (doing stuff I probably shouldn’t have been doing), but fixing it felt magical. Just roll back to when it wasn’t borked, then update it.
I did a lot of not so nice things to that installation (it was a bit of a test, to see how fragile it was), and it’s still running now!
I almost thought you were that bot that changes youtube links to invidious ones, lol.
Yeah, those tend to be good (well, tux.pizza is a bit of an exception, it shows the error that the others fixed). It’s a little annoying that a lot of the invidious instances that work won’t show up when you do the “switch instance” thing on an instance that doesn’t work, but it makes a bit of sense, not wanting to get overwhelmed, or trying to not get too noticed.
Yeah, youtube breaks things all too frequently, and a lot of the time these projects can’t push out updates fast enough. A lot of invidious instances sadly don’t work (as of the last time I checked them, a few days ago), but a few usually work because they merge patches before upstream does. inv[dot]nadeko[dot]net comes to mind.
Some banking apps won’t run without SafetyNet (technically now Play Integrity). Pure AOSP doesn’t have it, and AOSP distributions with sandboxed play services or whatever usually fail the hardware attestation requirements. There are some other reasons banking apps won’t work, but a lot of it is similar stuff.
‘GamingTrend had an issue with the humour in Chapter 4, stating “this series of levels has what I would call three distinct right wing dog whistles, with jokes that feel mean spirited involving drag, homophobia, and fat-phobia”.’
I enjoyed the first one, hopefully this one is decent. I might wait until I can get more details on the above, though.
It doesn’t seem like there’s any enforcement method, just “social influence”.
In other words, they made a scoreboard.
