It’s K shaped though, no? The death of the Flynn effect is largely because those who have access to parental resources and proactive education are overtaking people who don’t have those luxuries.

There are plenty of Gen Z who are well educated and have the capacity to understand the world more. However, the amount of people who are being left behind is probably growing as the educational and class divides are rising.

I’ve been using Geany, was that a bad choice in hindsight?

Welcome to the US highway system.

My drive to the university from home was 152mi.

Publicly traded company shareholders, baby!

Any project worth its salt is privately held or FOSS lol

I think a lot of that depends on platform though. If you’re having electron apps like Discord active on your desktop the whole time, memory usage will be a constant issue for you.

I replaced a lot of my proprietary software with FOSS suites that run locally (with the exception of Steam and GOG launchers that I don’t have running in the background), and I haven’t had any issues with memory since.

Plus, using Ublock Origin on a Firefox fork tends to prevent junk from loading in the first place while browsing the web (and saves a shit ton of ram)

Nah, with 4gb you can get away with most linux distros with XFCE, and you could even do some indie gaming. Plus, using ChromeOS means you’re expected to have a network connection at all times (which makes things like using office suites locally a pain).

As the saying goes, “Don’t hate, educate.”

(Also amateur radio is fun :D)

No, not at the current moment. Hypothetically someone could set up an array of anonymous Youtube accounts to use explicitly for authentication challenges similar to how Aurora handles Google Play Store downloads, but currently that service doesn’t exist for Youtube.

You would need to find an anonymous google account, or create a burner.

Few potential reasons, the most likely being a lack of access to the amount of compute, electricity, and knowhow.

Or they wanted to use the “mainstream option” idk

Ah ty. I wasn’t keeping track of either project, but good to know servo’s the one to look out for instead.

It’s called the forks, dude.

Also, hopefully the ladybug thing or whatever gets off the ground someday.

Edit: Servo is the better project to follow.

Self-hosted gits in Brazil are gonna be making a comeback baby!

You can use a “routing server” from FUTO (the guys behind it) to make it happen as well, although obviously that just means shifting traffic through a benevolent third party rather than only the devices you own and manage.

Grayjay allows you to sync between devices if desired, including platforms. I have a desktop, laptop, and a phone, and I can sync everything locally by just pairing the devices and having them at least 2 active for the transfer.

I’m gonna take a wild guess and assume everything below the Mason-Dixon line will not bother enforcing squat.

What year was your cutoff?

Ahead of the curve, already downloaded all of the greats onto my selfhosted storage.

You can use something like GrayJay to watch YT and other sources (and have offline playlists and subscriptions) without a google account whatsoever. That helped me make the jump to fully degoogle.

Fusion360 actively attempts to block wine usage so you have to use a VM (or a single application VM like Winboat) for it to play ball. I haven’t had experience with any of the others though.

Hasn’t had any issues that weren’t rectified within a day for me. It has sorta yt-dlp functionality integrated with any source (so exporting your playlist to a local backup is a breeze).

Since the community can add their own sources, it’s relatively easy to find one if the one you want isn’t on the official support list. You also can use the client on any non-apple device so that’s cool. (Even has local sync which is sick)

As for the IP stuff, it usually only stops playback if YT flags you as a bot (since the client doesn’t send the telemetry data back to google that would normally validate your “humanity”), but something as simple as a VPN location/address change is enough to keep on watching (and the original address will work again within an hour).
