• Google Maps: Switch to CoMaps, they’re a fork of Organic Maps that grew out of a transparency issue with the Organic Maps core developers
• Youtube on pc: Not familiar with youtube-tui with mpv but FreeTube is pretty awesome too :3
• Clients for offline music: I like kew (for PC) :3
• Discord: Element is good, but in the interim you should check out Equibop! It’s a fork of the Discord client that strips out a lot of the telemetry.

And regarding PeerTube, be aware that if you go into it expecting it to be a replacement for YouTube, you will always end up disappointed. YouTube is just too big and entrenched at this point and it’s just not possible for any site to be a straight-up 1:1 replacement.

It’s kind of like renewable energy sources: no one method is going to supplant fossil fuels, but multiple different options being used where each is effective the most has worked quite well in putting a quite noticeable dent, even if not a large one, in the world’s usage of it. Likewise, PeerTube, Odyssey, Nebula, all the different sources cropping up will never replace YouTube individually, but collectively it will give people more options, which is always good.

Likewise, I’ve found that PeerTube is great for discovering new content, but it requires a perspective change. Honestly it reminds me more of YouTube in its early days. Not a lot of high-cost productions, but more just regular people putting up videos because they have a passion for it and want to share that passion. For now, I still do use YouTube, but I am finding some great stuff here and there on PeerTube as well. I guess what I’m saying is PeerTube cannot be a replacement of YouTube, but it can be a supplement to YouTube, if you want it to be.

Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Haha. Have a great day and good luck! ^_

Because I splurged and bought too many Snyder’s of Hanover pretzel bags and now don’t have any money. :C

Yes, it stays there.

That’s really cool that the snooze thing makes it go away!

Oh I see so there really is no difference functionally aside from the fact that the native functionality is manual restoration while the addon functionality is automatic restoration?

Er…sorry. I guess what I meant by that is that from what you tell me it seems that there is virtually no difference between what the native “tab unloading” function is and what the addon’s “tab snooze” function is, that difference being that the former requires manually reactivating a tab while the latter can do it at a specific time/duration like an alarm clock.

Is that about right?

to see new comments on a post

But then loading an unloaded tab reloads the page, does it not? Or does it go strictly by the cached version? If it is the former, then it should load the newest comments.

Might be less coffee but it’s not just the coffee that’s the waste; it’s all the extra plastic that each one of those K-cups uses.

Plastic often lasts centuries (at least) to biodegrade and even then animals try to eat the waste and then die horribly.

Get outta here with that spam nonsense.

Tab Snooze - allows you to close a tab and have it reappear at a chosen time later

Can’t Firefox already do this though?

It’s a shame if he never did anything with it, but thanks for going into detail! :D

As others have said, the general rule is simple: if it no longer runs what you want it to run, upgrade.

For example, I have an Nvidia RTX 2060 GPU. It’s no longer that new, it’s like 5+ years old at this point. But most of the games I play are at least 10 years old—I think the newest, and most graphically intense, game I own is Cyberpunk 2077—and my GPU runs them just fine.

So, why would I spend hundreds of dollars on a new GPU when it’s still wholly functional for my needs?

It’s not okay for management to do that either. The devs don’t need asshole customers doing it too.

Looks like they invented a new way to doxx people!

Does it still exist, and can it be implemented client-side? That sounds really cool!

Ooh that’s a good point. I mean, not Linux Mint because as thanksforallthefish said below it’s not a Mint-supported DE but I actually installed Arch (btw) with the KDE Plasma DE onto an old laptop I have and yeah it definitely gives early-2010s OS X vibes. :)

That’s legit.

I hate GNOME because it feels like an iPhone.

That’s fair.

I don’t know much about what Ubuntu is doing but it surely can’t be that bad.

You would be surprised.

Yeah…

See, I used to like Ubuntu, but then Canonical had to ruin it for me by betraying the principles that Linux stands for.

Ubuntu is a shadow of its former self, and it saddens me. :(

You know, I can see that.

Still, mac users use macs because they just want the computer to work.

And the Cosmic DE is rather new so can be a bit buggy from time to time. It might look mac-friendly, but its stability is still largely untested so caution may be advised before recommending it in my opinion.

Can confirm. I’ve used FitGirl for years and countless games and have never once had an issue with malware. She seems pretty reliable on that front.

Ubuntu is heresy. Canonical hath turned against the users.

Also, I’m genuinely curious: why do you hate GNOME?
