stardust,

Only subscriptions that make sense to me a cloud based ones that can’t function at all without access to the internet due to not being able to retrieve content needed to function. Examples that come to mind are netflix and spotify, since even though you can download content to watch or hear offline you need internet to retrieve new content. Means there are hosting costs, and I’m basically paying to not host all that content myself.

But, anything else doesn’t make sense to me. If app wants to charge again then they can do another version release, and let people keep using the old version if they want while stopping updates for it. I don’t do subscriptions.

stardust,

What about hdr. I saw it mentioned for the Steam Deck update, so wondered if that is finally working on Linux. I do like taking advantage of HDR on the TV.

stardust,

This is my favorite app.

stardust,

I find visiting the site through archive.today to be a good fallback for articles. Bypasses paywalls too.

stardust,

On newpipe if you go to settings > Video and audio there is an option for show higher resolutions.

stardust,

I haven’t found a good alternative to going directly to YouTube when it comes to resolution offerings on desktop.

stardust,

Easier to get a strong visceral reaction from people from negative events than positive ones when you don’t know anyone involved. And negative events stay with people a lot longer emotionally, so it makes for a nice method to get attention.
