I have edited my comment. You can check this video which will explain it much better than myself: https://youtu.be/VTsBP21-XpI?si=viw0FEMffyhyba9v

I have edited my original comment, but this will explain it much better and showcase my statement much better: https://youtu.be/VTsBP21-XpI?si=viw0FEMffyhyba9v

On Apple they were intentionally gimping your phone with updates and they got sued to change that practice. So you were correct to think that.

Captcha was never good at stopping bots. It was always used to identify who is a human. In other words exactly the opposite of what you think.

Edit: because I see confusion, maybe a language barrier, here is an example of what people think it is and how it works: https://youtube.com/shorts/rme6PT7-CRI?si=iGx_v7Qp7oYqJQ3S Which is wrong on many levels.

Here is a better explanation of what I meant: https://youtu.be/VTsBP21-XpI?si=viw0FEMffyhyba9v

Hope this explains it better than my original comment.

A couple years ago I read that Filecoin has teamed up with the internet archive to synchronize the data on the Blockchain. I'm not sure how far they are yet, but it's something that could work if it doesn't turn out to be just crypto hype in the end.

Well yeah, captcha/recaptcha was never designed to stop bots, but to spy without consent. Let's not talk about the profit made by using it as unpaid labor to "decode" text and images for other companies. Should have been ditched long time ago.

Some do, others don't and as someone else said i am not going to make Patreon and do monthly sub to each of them. As I said I watch hundreds of hours per month and it's not from 4-5 creators. For me it's worth - I pay for the infrastructure and some support for the people I watch. If it's free for you it means someone else is paying.

I pay for YouTube because it does give more revenue than watching an ad to the creators. I pay 6$ and watch hundreds of hours monthly. If it was more than that I will consider alternatives and AdBlock (what I was doing before started my sub). To each their own :)

I play overwatch on endeavouros and I have better experience on it than in windows. League of legends will stop working soon. In general most of the games with rootkit anticheat clients will not work on Linux. On protondb you can see rankings and user comments about games. Last I checked 2% of all games are not working on Linux.

Linux gaming is a thing. Lutris and steam are working quite well. In some games I have better performance than windows. That being said not everything is working, some games are not working at all and other games have quite some settings and fiddling until they work. Check protondb where you can see users comments and game compatibility ranking for the games you play. Sometimes I want to go back to windows, but for the last 5 months I've booted windows once or twice. There is a learning curve and getting used to Linux, but in my opinion it is worth it. If you want to transition from windows don't go with gnome. Start with kde or xfce, or cinnamon.

What could work is to impose a daily progressing fine until the firmware change Is reversed and 3rd party ink Is allowed again.
