I'm still on Windows 10. Are the complaints people have over windows 11 overblown or valid?

Twitch is live streaming which is what probably makes it a challenge to block ads, and the main draw of twitch is watching live content. I'd imagine it's easier to view content that isn't live without ads, and people do repost clips after it's aired where people haven't encountered ads in contrast to live viewers.

Then look at television piracy where live viewing will have ads, but pirated content is uploaded with it stripped away. Blocking ads will be something YouTube will have to keep fighting endlessly.

I feel safer with F-droid.

I don't think there is any. That's the "con" of not being tracked with no personalization.

Freetube has been the most headache free experience for me, since I don't need to worry about getting my account banned if YouTube doesn't like Adblock or having to fiddle with ublock. It allows importing of your feed too.

I'm suspicious that they want to introduce the requirement of real ids to make accounts online.

How do you access old archived reddit content? I've seen downloads but wondered if there is something more easily accessible.

stepping up starts increasing the price real quick.

And I wouldn't want to deal with an external drive for a laptop. Less extra things I have to carry and have dangling around the better.

The issue isn't the processor on the Mac, but that stuff like the ram and internal storage is not user upgradeable which is the bottle neck if users need more. To no surprise users who want more aren't happy with upgrade premium. But, that's Apple. It's why their stocks are good to have.

What keeps me away from them is more the inability to upgrade even the storage. 256 is just too small and what smartphones come with these days, and stepping up starts increasing the price real quick.

I was using newpipe x Sponsorblock on Android exclusively, and now on desktop I've moved to freetube. Never did get the pop up telling me to remove Adblock but decided to make the jump early.
