Well, that's one of the reasons. Everything is too mild to my parents' taste.

The greatest tragedy a person could experience is the one they do experience.

What's your "I switched to Linux because..." Story? in c/linux@programming.dev

[–] TheV2@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago

I switched to Linux, because my very first confrontation to buy a Windows license myself weirded me out. It was quite casual. My exposure to Linux came from a few software development related videos. The workflows I saw looked much more efficient and fulfilling. To be honest, with a dying laptop running on Windows 8.1 I had an extra terrible experience anyway. So when I built my PC and I realized that legally purchasing a Windows license looked like browsing the black market, I decided to save my money and just try Ubuntu. I definitely had the luxury of being able to simply dive in.

What are subscriptions that are worth it and subscriptions that are not? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] TheV2@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Probably not supposed to work, but in a browser I have some of the premium features mentioned from playing whatever I want, changing the queue to creating playlists - all with a free account. I tried it with different browsers, different accounts and even without uBlock - just works. I still don't understand why and how. If it is a bug, I hope that they don't notice/fix it :D

You don't need the subscription to do all that. At least not in the browser.

Why doesn't Food Network do product placement in there shows? Would they not earn more money by a host saying I use this hot sauce name drop but you can use whatever? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Oh, my bad, thought it was only YouTube.

On Youtube there is a checkbox to mark paid promotion in a video. There will at least be the common label for paid promotion. I don't think hiding a paid promotion is worth the risk for big Youtube channels.

In a desktop browser I could always do that (+ ads-free with ublock).
