Discussion Comfy Café #14

blud I'd be real, I feel sorry for people who watch OP for the first time ever and they start with OPLA. It's insanely bad. The focus on wrong stuff, the pacing is too fast and you can't even connect to anyone at all. Every episode is a new island, it's just too fast.

Though I get there's too many stuff to cover but Jesus, why do we focus on fodder characters and portray fodder characters stronger than they are LOL

 

Well, salt plus pepper would be even better.

Goodnight, Aussie English bed-wetting type.

Good one

Youtube on TV just keeps getting worse and worse.

Youtube on TV will get unskippable 30-second ads, unless you get youtube premium. And even with the lowest tier of premium lite, you will still get ads, just with a skip button after 5 seconds.

Oh, and another thing for those who don't have premium: if the ad that plays before the video is longer than 30 seconds, you get a skip button after 21 seconds.

And before anyone asks why I watch youtube on TV when I have a smartphone and two laptops: I don't. My mom watches on the TV. And she sometimes wants to watch documentaries with me on the TV (a long-time bonding habit of ours). She is visually challenged, and the TV is large (54 inch).

 

The DNS method blocks some ads, but not all. And, yes, I can try using youtube on another device and casting to the TV.

My mother does indeed know how to use computers/laptops as well as keyboard plus mouse. She had to use a desktop at work for 30+ years.

 

I could take my old Lenovo B490, install Linux in it, and connect it to the TV?

 

There are many browsers which support ublock origin and privacy badger that work fantastically on Linux.

Firefox-based:
Firefox, Librewolf, Waterfox, Zen, Mullvad, Tor.
^ Mullvad and Tor are obviously out of the question for basic users. Stock Firefox has some performance issues (probably negligible) on Linux. The remaining three are obviously the better choices.

Chromium-based:
Vivaldi, Brave, and quite a few others.
^ The first one is probably the best choice for basic users on Linux, despite the complicated setting/customisation menus. Install it with ublock origin plus privacy badger and you are solid. Chrome, Opera, and especially MS Edge can suck my farts.
