Weird, you’re overcomplicating things and receiving a worse experience as a result.

Just use ublock origin or adnauseam. Make sure you update/enable all of the blocklists in the settings.

Before you upgrade, see how much you’re utilizing swap space.

Type free into a terminal to see this.

If you don’t see swap space, or if it looks under-utilized, you can increase the capacity and how much it’s used.

See how much it’s used with cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness. 60 is the default, anything less than that means swap space isn’t being used as often, anything greater means it’s being used more often.

I recommend just asking AI on how to increase swap space if what you see is not enough.

You may have to go through the uBlock Origin settings and add/update all the blocklists.

That’s fair. I think a hybrid solution of owning/streaming is best.

Free streaming sites are the easiest way to watch something and we should be recommending them more often.

You should have an adblocker like ublock origin or Adnauseam installed.

Dunning-kruger effect on full display right here.

This guy thinks he knows so much, yet doesn’t even know about adblockers. Sad.

I was afraid someone would do that.

People richer than you and their useful idiots.

I don’t understand the comparisons people make between OSS and comunism.

It shows.

Not being pedantic, just thought I’d let you and others know there are multiple ways to spell this word.

Dealing with people like you is exhausting.

Easy ignore, though.

I believe it’s a chicken and an egg problem.

If free software projects had more users, those users would improve the software further with donations, patches, and bug reports.

It’s disgusting how many businesses have been herded into wasting money on products they can be using for free, then convincing customers they “need more money.”

Addiction is extremely dangerous and you can end up wasting years of your life on something that really isn’t that important to you.

It’s sad how many people in my generation encourage others to become addicted to things like video games.

Games like league reward people who put more time into them while punishing those who put in less. It’s particularly exploitative because it encourages us to spend as much time in the game as possible so we’re as good as we can be when we’re playing with our friends. It genuinely feels good to be good at the game because that transfers to wins for your team and respect from your peers.

More people playing competitive games need to realize the tricks at play to get them addicted as long as possible. I avoid games like that with other people because I know firsthand how detrimental they can be to my psyche.

I recommend playing co-op games instead. Focus on working together against the computer instead of fighting each other. That way there are challenges you can eventually beat, rather than fighting players who always put more time into the game than you.

I’m a Linux Pirate. It’s possible to play co-op games online for free with programs such as Sunshine+Moonlight for streaming, emulators with netplay, and you can even play any LAN game online using something like Hamachi.

You can also make a torrent very easily, which is the better method.

These Linux computers are always scams.

We get worse hardware for higher prices, and they don’t even have to pay for the OS.

Yes, any laptop without an encrypted storage drive will have its data accessible by someone booting from a live USB.

It really is a massive vulnerability, but it’s not well known because so few people even understand the concept of a ‘live USB’ to make it a widespread threat or concern.

So yeah, if you’re ever in possession of a Windows machine that doesn’t have an encrypted disk, you can view the users’ files without knowing their password via a live USB.

It’s also not limited to laptops.

Zross?

X-Cross?

X-ross?

Oh, it’s just pronounced Cross. Always unsure how people who make decisions like these get the jobs they do.

It’s like, they’re rewarded for being stupid.
