Oh, so google has adopted the Microsoft strategy.

Strange, Id think their monopoly would be considered natural if they just let Firefox collapse and didn’t buy out dying/barely competing companies.

How does that work exactly?

Like they are direct competitors no? Wouldn’t Mozilla be motivated to fuck google as hard as possible?

Moving to Linux sounds cool and is cool until you realize 2 things, one, you can fuck yourself in ways you didn’t know possible.

2, windows is dominant and you will lose access to a fair portion of games immediately upon switching.

Unless you really need to lower background bloat, develop code, or got something vehemently against windows, its not worth the swap for 90%+ of the population, you will go back.

I didn’t mind the learning curve, realizing the sheer amount of programs and games that have no development plan for Linux was what made me swap back.

I thought it was the coke tbh.

Are you running on a work device? The USB method is only really for work devices, otherwise get vlc

Yeah was gonna delete on the 30th but ive already seen my comments coming back to life. So I guess we’ll hold onto it and check in occasionally

I tried to explain to one of these people Lemmy for piracy alone is easy, it’s apparently more complicated to use, setup, or understamd than his current pirating methods or any methods he’s ever done.

If it requires more than 4 button clicks and 10 minutes, you lose the lazy, disinterested, and unmotivated people.

Most people here are going to be pirates who were burned CDs and jacked channels or people who were raised by people burned CDs and learned about pirate bay before geometry (hi), im sure this community will cause many to pick up pirating, unfortunately, I think the loss is due to people who havent truly explored the internet/computers and checked out what piracy is.

Wait until reddit kills the piracy forums outright, they are going for an IPO, they will either clean house right before, or shortly after going public, pirates that want simple info will pay Netflix/Hulu, the ones who get more motivated will remember or find Lemmy.

So what’s loading up a YouTube video like? 100% ram and CPU usage constantly?

Huh, seen this bug on Reddit and now Lemmy, weird.

For those trying to use jebora, you have to copy and paste fmhy instance in as it isn’t currently listed (unless it has been changed)
