Not sure how long but definitely 10+ years here. I didn’t comment much but when I did, it was to help people in the Unix subreddits (Linux / Ubuntu / elementaryOS / macOS / macOS Patching scene).

I was very active in the Mojave and Catalina patcher subreddits, as well as Opencore legacy. I replaced all my comments with “fuck spez” before nuking everything some time later.

Thank you kindly! I just back into Linux (i use arch btw), so I didn’t keep myself updated on all the Linux news. I’ll read through them.

Wow, I wasn’t aware System76 were working on their own DE. Nice roundup on your experience with it, I’ll try to keep myself up to date with their development.

Super clean and sleek. I love the Gruvbox colors. So good on the eyes. Amazing setup!

Right. I’ve done my research before and I do have a Pi hole setup on my Linux server. I used Vanced back when I was on Android but I had to switch to iOS for work and stayed on it since.

It sucks because I’d much rather not pay for YouTube at all, but we share the family plan since we’re all on iOS…

Doesn’t it let YouTube ads go through? Because they use the same domains for videos and ads? AFAIK Pi Hole can’t block YT ads right?

I wish I didn’t have to pay for premium, but we’re all iOS users and we use Smart TVs and Chromcasts to cast and I’m not sure how to block ads on those (not Android TV, Samsung TVs).

If there’s a way to block ads there I’d love to know. I can’t really use AltStore either, I’ve tied it in the past and I don’t always have the means to refresh every 7 days.

Last time I checked it was. I don’t know if a new bug was introduced since however.

It works but they won’t provide support if it breaks. There was a bug with screen sharing sound on Linux (and maybe macOS as well?) for a LONG time, like years, before it was eventually fixed.

On macOS they also took their sweet ass time with the Apple Silicon version, when the regular version was broken as hell on the shiny new M1 Macs.

They only really care about « gAmERs » which to then means Windows.

Oh wow Antergos. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a minute.

I’ve seen that episode of Black Mirror…

Oh for sure. I’m sure they already noticed it. But I think a lot of users who are not so tech savvy will be rebutted by the whole “instance” and “federation” things. It’s not super intuitive for most people how it works yet

Seriously, I’ve used the app for a while before finding out about Sync back when I used Android, then Apollo on iOS. I almost never browsed on mobile before then, it’s absolutely terrible. I guess “normal” everyday users don’t care, because they don’t necessarily know they have alternatives, however. Guess this is what spez is banking on.
