It’s argued it already is opt-in. That’s the ‘Agree’ button.

The debrid goes without saying.

I should’ve mentioned that, but any of the guides for the 5-10 min setup include them.

Prob the only real effort in it is checking which one works best in your region. They all do, but some have better bandwidth than others.

Keep in mind too, my solution is the “your grandma can cancel her subs and do this right now in a few minutes” deal for the loungeroom telly. Set it up recently for my Aunt, catching up for lunch, along with SmartTube. A few months before, installed an adblocker extention. Life changers.

I don’t even know why stuff appears. Recently I got a bunch of NASCAR come up. I think it’s because I follow the NLS in Germany and watched an Obama video and that mooshed motorsport and the USA into the algorithm.

Why aren’t you using Stremio + Torrentio? Higher quality anyway.

I envy that you get a Linux-basrd laptop for work.

Opening up my W11 one is dread. Once it finally sorts itself out, it’s latest thing is just hanging 365 applications for 3 mins for no reason, then resuming. It also decided to stop copying to clipboard yesterday which was resolved by rebooting, which of course took 15 mins due to Windows updates…

It’s a decent 2025 laptop, but it’s like warming up an old car before driving it through wet cement.

I have absolutely no faith or reason to believe that this is something Microsoft can do.

2027 is more likely, with a plethora of fuck ups and destruction along the way. Whats most likely is they just don’t and instead do something that, in a way, “fakes it” by ripping resources from things or has the CPU fan spinning loudly.

Windows, in its current state, is a monster compiled of decades of shit and band-aids.

Hmmmm… It must be something else then… It’s definitely not obvious, that’s for sure.

I wish I could make shit games and earn millions.

Mine is like 3 years out of date to prod.

Everyone else sees someone talking to their shadow

Not sure what you mean. But for anyone that cares enough to pay attention to likes and dislikes, there it is.

I think the front end of YT, the dislike button exists purely for algorithmic purposes these days; both macro and micro curating.

But the foundation of public ratings is the ad populum fallacy.

It still does and you can see the usual like:dislike ratio as normal with SmartTube and other similar and far better, feature-rich applications for YT content.

Nup. No taksies-backsies.

I’ll take the opportunity to manipulate a slight misunderstanding in your words to drive home my point on an inconsequential post on the internet, to hide my insecurities, and project out on them, of not getting laid no matter what keyboard I have. It is the Lemmy user way 🙏

Also, do you remember the model of the keyboard you had when you got laid? Asking for a friend.

lol. It’s really not massive.

It’s like watching old women gossip.

See?!

There’s no way he’d get laid with a keyboard like that.

That sounds very Mozilla.

Actually, it’d be more Mozilla if it happened again next month.

Oh yeah, I’ve had that twice. Windows Update not fathoming anything but itself existing so just nukes the UEFI and installs itself as dictator.

The thumbnail really mismatches the article.

Americans are shoplifting everyday essentials, with food and nonalcoholic drinks ranking as the most popular items to steal, the study found.

Clothing and personal hygiene products were the second- and third-most popular items chosen by shoplifters, according to LendingTree.

In my experiences, it’s Windows Update in the background causing the lag. Doing it’s shitfuckery things, planting it’s shitfuckery seeds, waiting for restart season to trigger the bloom…

It is funny though, “Updates! You need to restart!”

“Oh, okay!”

Restart > GRUB auto boots to Linux.

I know it’s a future me problem, but I’m in Windows for work like once a month these days. That’s fine.
