This is an interesting way to watch YouTube, and I have some questions about your system around watching the videos.

1. How do you plan out downloading and watching the videos? Do you download at the time of watching, or do you just download as many videos you like when you get the chance?
2. What do you do with the videos after watching?

Thank you. I did come across it, back when I was looking at alternatives. Though I don’t remember why I didn’t try it out.

How is your experience with the keyboard? How does it compare with the alternatives?

It is the only decent AOSP-like keyboard I could find.

I am just not comfortable using a proprietary keyboard when I know that I have other options. On iOS, I do not have an option, at all!

Having said that, I do miss the better swipe gestures and autocorrect ability of the proprietary ones from time to time.

I use Android as my secondary phone, my primary is an iPhone. Though for the past six months, my use of Android has surpassed iOS as the latter is now only for calls, messages and reading emails. For replying to emails, I use a computer.

I have removed as many Google apps as I could using Canta, as long as the phone is able to boot and function.

The apps, in no particular order (read: the order in which I can recollect):

I haven’t used Windows for more than a decade, and I am genuinely surprised reading your post that the game works in this manner even if with proton/wine layer.

I can’t help but think that this is an exception, and would attribute this behaviour to how the game is made. I wonder what other software function this way.

Most of the criticism I have seen online stems from how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) plays fast and loose with the FLOSS ethos. The earliest controversy I can recall was the inclusion of the ‘Amazon shopping lens’ in its Unity desktop environment. There may have been earlier issues, but this one made mainstream headlines in the early 2010s. More recently, the push for Snap (its application bundle format), which relies on proprietary server-side components, which invited criticism.

That said, I still find the OS ideal for most users. It has been (and still is) a gateway OS for many Windows and macOS refugees, thanks to its strong community. It was for me nearly two decades ago, and I prefer to remember Ubuntu for the good it has done for the community.

There was one here yesterday written so poorly I feel less informed for having read it. I would like the option to take my money back for reading such a bad article.

That’s hilarious.

Can you share the post?

@Nougat@fedia.io is not even the culprit here. They are merely pointing out that the nondescript links (at least to the uninitiated) in most comments point to Linux.

The comments here are really reinforcing the stereotypes about Lemmy.

Last I heard about this game was at the Game Awards a few years back. Nice to see the game development chugging along.

The gameplay in the boss fight video looks too cluttered, IMO. But there is enough time for the devs to tweak it or add options to reduce some of the on-screen elements.

“Hello my friend. Stay a while and listen.”

It is subjective, I like the old eBay logo more, but dislike the old Airbnb one.

My organising system has a dual nature: it is either highly structured or a mess.

Information, such as documents, notes, spreadsheets, and images, is carefully organised into well-defined directories, no more than four or five levels deep. The destination directory is chosen at the time of download.

Anything that I expect to use more than once, even if only a few times, is dumped into a directory called GMS (Games, Movies, Software), which resides on a separate disk partition.

Everything else ends up in the Downloads directory, which is truncated every three months.

I too am a horse denier.

I always deny a horse.

BOSS.

I upvoted your comment just because it had links to the reference you made.

Also, the sketches were funny; thanks for sharing them.

I clicked in to mention the same thing.

Seems like it has been AI upscaled or generated.

Unless priced extremely cheap, or Apple plays the walled garden game with peripherals and/or restricts current device capabilities, it is unclear what this device offers more than what iPad or iPhone already does for managing home devices.

I am surprised that this post received so many genuine answers.

Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.
