Eventually installed from the PPA but it was an unexpected PITA.

They've lost the plot. I don't mind change if it has meaningful benefits, but forcing unstable and barely-tested coreutils that fail their own tests is madness.

Looking at the intentional degradation since Win7, I'd call it a "barely and maliciously maintained operating system".

I agree, been using Immich and it's very good.

Haven't found a good self-hosted Sheets alternative yet.

I tried Nextcloud a couple of years ago but found it really buggy and slow. Even the basic notes editor on Android was absolutely terrible. Absolutely no comparison to what I'm using now, Obsidian with Syncthing.

Can anyone recommend a good sheets alternative other than Nextcloud?

But yes I don't think you can disable updates only for particular apps.

I see this a lot on reddit and youtube. I tend to think that it's bots paid for by the company.

There's always just too much unanimous agreement in favor of the corporation.

Maybe I just don't want to believe that people are that homogenized.

There seems to be zero consequence for ruining the environment currently.

If you're happy with that, you do you.

I'd rather if something was done about the "elective" noises that we have around, like ridiculously loud leaf blowers, pointlessly loud motorbikes and cars, etc.

I don't think it's fair to say, "just uproot your entire life and move somewhere else" because people are being dickheads.

All I had to do was send them the receipt for the cooler.

I've heard otherwise intelligent people talk about how important it is we get to Mars because of how dire the global warming situation on Earth is.

When I go to the cinema, that's the cinema's video platform.

In my house, on the equipment that I paid thousands of dollars for and support, using the connection I'm paying for... that's my platform.

>they'll have just as much right to stop serving you videos when you're blocking ads

That's literally what I said they should do. "They don't like it, they can feel free to not send me network traffic."

>stop leaving your children unattended on brain slop videos

I don't have kids. But I have, out of morbid interest, been down the rabbithole of the weird ultra-creepy AI stuff that comes up in their "childrens videos" category.

Some of those creepy AI channels have millions of subscribers.

It's all obviously some kind of weird scam, but google would still be getting ad revenue for it.

If they're going to have a childrens videos category, then obviously they should be moderating it.

For adult stuff yes I would complain of censorship.

It's absolutely dire. I mean, ridiculously bad. Unbearable.

If it's that or nothing, it's the easiest of choices.

Another example of that is their ridiculous strike system. Look at what happened to Gamersnexus recently.

Everything on my PC is on my terms, and I don't watch ads.

Only when they pay me for the use of my computer equipment and network traffic, do they have any claim to tell me what I must watch on it.

They don't like it, they can feel free to not send me network traffic.

If they really don't want people to watch without ads... surely a tech company of their calibre is capable of blocking content server side, or putting it behind a login.

Forgive me for not feeling morally inadequate compared to a multinational that happily takes ad revenue for toddlers on ipads having their brain fried by endless AI slop that they refuse to moderate.

But how can they do that without storing the original uploaded video until it hits that view count?

Do they actually store the original uploaded video somewhere, but reencode for the edge servers to save data/storage?
