Don't worry, they'll kill the project after naming it Chrome Recall, Google Recall, Google Watcher, GWatch (with chat), Chat&Watch, Google Watch (new) in the span of a year.

Please, discover OpenStreetMap.org and stop being an unpaid Google employee, and make your work truly public and free.

Not for over-the-internet use

Debian is never a bad choice. Put some flatpaks there, backport some goodies, and install some kind of AnyDesk system. Put some KDE Plasma and they'll think Windows finally runs well again.

Nope, MacOS would be too different for them to handle. Linux Mint, or something with KDE Plasma would be way better IMO.

Oh, wow, that dude in the thread is proud in his ignorance.

Unless you really need some big GPU thingie... Laptops are too good nowadays.

No, laptop functions have not been offloaded to phones. Phones have simply taken time from real life interactions 😅

I could understand that some distros' kernel had binary blobs, but the main kernel?? I was not expecting that if it's true.

This is premium functionality, for those who don't know.

With Piped you are watching videos through the Piped server, which is the one calling YouTube. So Google knows the server is watching but it does not know it's you. A proxy, they call it.

The benefit is clearly that your views get mixed with many other people's and tracking individually is way more difficult.

Also, you get to have subs, playlists... All synced with your Piped account.

Workaround, get some mewing hardware and √ 🤫

 

If I am not mistaken the tradeoff is losing add-ons but being able to install other services.

So... what is your experience? Are add-ons useful/common for your use case?

 

In this federated world, I find myself going back to lemmyverse.net to see if a community already exists, or if there are any duplicates already, etc.

Also, in lemmyverse you can actually search instances themselves, which is quite interesting too. Maybe being able to check out some instance's local communities would be awesome too.

 

So, they finally built their own instance.
