The other day it rewrote a registry key that prevented these pop ups.

This is what drove me away. There are like 7 people that figured out how to make these pop-ups disappear and Microsoft invested money to “patch” that “error” to ensure they were forced to continue seeing these ads.

Why would they do that when people use this one all the same?

Plenty of other places to upload images. I think catbox.moe is a popular one.

Haha, should have known you can’t post that shit around here.

But I agree, I use Brave and it’s awesome! They even have a private LLM!

The poor UI and lack of polish has been a big problem in design communities for a long time

I dunno what to tell you except that it’s not a problem now.

For all the deserved shit that Windows gets, it “just works” without ever needing to touch config or a terminal.

Most people don’t need to use anything other than a browser, which works fine.

I can’t see Reddit anymore

A nice looking UI with good fonts, and a clean interface.

Pretty much anything beats Windows in that regard.

The ability to run random Windows applications with minimal fuss.

I mean if you REALLY can’t find a FOSS alternative, Bottles has been extremely successful and easy for me…

All without needing to use the terminal

This is the biggest hangup for me. Even if there is a GUI, most instructions will send you into the terminal nonetheless.

Better question is “why not”?

It looks like the future promised in 1984, if that’s what you were referring to.

Streamable? You can also run your videos through 8mb.video and it will compress them to 100mb. That’s what I usually do.

I’ve tried a few of them but haven’t found anything better than the PWA 🤷

Plasmatrap.com is very stable (for now)

No, it doesn’t?

It doesn’t matter whose fault it is.

If the same thing happens with this software, they will have it taken down. That’s why the license exists.

If you actually watch the OP, he talks about this. They don’t want the app to be copied and then have ads and tracking injected and then slapped onto the Play Store to exploit users like NewPipe has right now.

CEO’s statement:

We’ll probably do a Q+A on this sometime soon.

1. We believe it’s essential that all of the software that people run on their computers be open to scrutiny by the owner of the computer.
2. We believe that software developers should be payed directly by the people who use their software.
3. We want others coders to be able to pick up and maintain abandoned projects into the future.

We don’t have all the answers, but I personally am very unhappy with the state of open source software. We have billions of people running polished open source software on their Android and iOS devices with all sorts of nefarious hidden software attached by Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.

So we’re not gonna just run with status quo. We want to win by letting the people be masters their computers once again.

What are the chances these components are still available in 5 years?

I mean…it does what it needs to do just fine.

Is this thing repairable?

Contact deletion - Allows you to delete contacts

Wow, what a groundbreaking feature! 🤣

Doesn’t it make way more sense to just hack Kindle hardware? I remember having a Kindle years ago and torrenting books and just slapping them on there.
