Yeah but since they aren’t upgradeable anymore, you’re often kind of limited by the 8gb of RAM they often come with.

It’s also difficult to know how much life an SSD still has in it even if one day I could be tempted by a second hand M Mac and Fedora Asahi..

Oh I’m clearly not getting rid of my Surface Go for the next five years at least since it’s a perfect little computer to hook up to a screen and easily transport when needed.

I was just saying that now I’d be wiser and do more research about Linux compatibility before buying, even second hand 😇

You have a lot of incredible Macs waiting to be grabbed for cheap after Apple discontinued support.

Before converting my girlfriend’s MacBook Pro to Linux, I never thought it would be possible. I don’t know why but I thought they were some special inaccessible computers.

It’s just a shame the latest ones aren’t upgradeable. Apparently the last easily upgradeable one was the 2012 MacBook and the 2019 MacPro..not sure though..

I use an upgraded 2012 MacBook Pro with Fedora and it’s very easy to install.

You still have a few caveats if you wanna use some specific software like Ventoy or Clonezilla. Otherwise it’s really easy.

Yeah you’re clearly right.

But when I bought it in 2019 during my separation I was short on time and money and I didn’t thought I’d go back to linux after a few years iatus.

Now I’d try to buy a nice second hand linux friendly machine 😇

I hope it’s still the case as I have Tidal subscription, but they were the ones giving the most money per stream to the artist.

I wouldn’t want to move to another streaming platform unless they are even better for artists.

Well judging from what you see on Lemmy a lot of people would be willing to pay. What’s missing on Peertube is the ability for a creator to lock his videos behind a paywall in a « you wanna watch? Pay me » way.

Nick from the Linux Experiment was explaining that he was making something like 0.02 Euros per view on Youtube and that people supporting him directly were bringing so much more without being at the mercy of an algorithm.

Supporting him for 1 Euro a month is fine with the amount of what I’m watching from him on Peertube, paying 5 dollars a month to watch everything Linus Tech Tips produces on Floatplane is a bit too much for me..

Early 2026 would be fine by me but it’s gonna be long and I hope it’ll be a finished product.

Yeah YouTube is not possible to avoid.

I really hope that one day we’ll have another platform where you can just pay 2$ per month to every channel you subscribe to and all the great YouTubers open an alternative channel on that platform.

For now PeerTube and Odysee look like the best alternatives..

Here is some footage from Super GT https://youtu.be/aeA0R7fXgfI?si=NKgmY1I4C7k_9hO1

I really hope the console version comes out soon and that it’s great.

I love GT7 but I really want to go through a new career mode.

After looking a bit into Patreon, Peertube, Floatplane, Nebula, Rumble, Odysee and Dailymotion, I find it crazy that even when you're willing to pay, all the good content is the one that you can watch for free on YouTube (with a few exceptions of course).

[–] Dariusmiles2123 3 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah but using a YouTube client would feel a bit dishonest to me as you’re still using Youtube in the end😇

I’ll look more into Patreon as I didn’t know you could have videos directly on it.

I’m just using it to listen to the Linuux Experiment podcast.
