And yet, I can't read a book that Internet Archive actually owns a copy of.

Bring it back to life again! by MylesRyden in c/[email protected]

This is a fantastic project and I wish you the best of luck with it and hope you have lots of attendees.

I do think there is a business opportunity (or perhaps a charitable one) of refurbishing/reselling older machines by doing just what your seminars are doing, but installing Linux and then selling the machine. Many people could use a machine that costs less than say, $200, but is still very functional for everyday usage.

I don't think #Plasma6 is ready for prime time. When I open apps, the title bar goes above the screen space and I can't move or close the app or use the menus.

So far, I have to say that my #KDE #Plasma6 experience sucks. (social.vivaldi.net)

So far, I have to say that my #KDE #Plasma6 experience sucks.

The theme I was using doesn't work. The icons all suck. EventCalendar, which was synced to my Google calendar is dead. Vivaldi looks like crap. The panel at the bottom of my screen is floating up probably 100 pixels, leaving useless space below it, I can't find a way to sink it to the actual bottom of the screen. I had increased all my font sizes because my eyes are bad, they have all shrunk and changing the font sizes and the interface percentage doesn't fix it.

So far, not a happy experience @kde

This looks very interesting, something any opensource organization/project might want to emulate. Right ? (social.vivaldi.net)

I have been very happy using KDE for at least 5 years now (maybe more, time is flying for me).

I am very much looking forward to the release of 6!

Can't make the chat, but really looking forward to the P6 release day. Been using Neon for a couple of years now (Kubuntu before that) and couldn't be more pleased!

Now that is driving me crazy, it looks so familiar, but I just can't place it.👿

Found it!

It's Librewolf, a Firefox fork.

YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users by MylesRyden in c/[email protected]

Patreon?

Yes, content providers make money on YouTube, but considering that Google makes more than then they do as a percentage certainly begs for some other solution.

Google slows down Firefox users when watching YouTube.... by MylesRyden in c/[email protected]

I use PiHole at home for sytem wide blocking and Vivaldi as my main browser.

I get the adblocker blocker on my main google account, but I have a couple of others for hobbies and I have not seen the blocker there.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Piped is not blocked on my school/work wifi and looks better than invidious.

LibRedirect is Awesome!

@BombOmOm @furycd001
I am sort of in a content slump right now. The YouTube adblocker blocker has me watching much less and noticing the content actually kinda sucks.

Most news sites are either paywalled or adblocked blocked or so stuffed with ads it's unreadable.

Even my library app doesn't have books newer than like 2019.

This DRM shit totally sucks.

Invidious is working for me.

Unfortunately my work (school district) blocks it.
