Windows 10 LTSC* for me personally

…with some registry tweaks to re-enable Photo Viewer, and the DolbyDecMFT DLL from a clean iso to playback surround audio

Informative, and unfortunate.

100% agree with your take on the original issue - it should be a discussion between the devs, not edging along the lines of an argument. However, I do feel like the discussion would have been better suited to the dev Matrix chat or something

Even if they were upsetted by your comments, banning you was not the right way to handle that IMO.

If I’m not mistaken, this is a setting that only the patreon user you’re subscribed to can change: whether you’re billed in advance, or billed retrospectively.

One lets you cancel and keep your benefits for the rest of the month, the other will immediately terminate your subscription upon cancellation.

Their terms describes both of these IIRC?

Thanks for this 👍

Seeing as the IA are in court with book publishers, it would make sense for them to try and lessen the legal damage by doing this.

Some super old version of GIMP will run on both XP and Win11.

I had to modify and recompile my laptop’s Broadcom WLAN driver for it to run on the latest kernel.

Fight me 🤪

Ah, good ol’ Microsoft Office. Taken advantage of their documents being a renamed .zip format to send forbidden attachments to myself via email lol

On the flip side, there’s stuff like the Audacity app, that saves each audio project as an SQLite database 😳

I’ll just stick to 🏴‍☠️ old games with DRM, why should I give a company 🤑 for redistributing a cracker’s hard work?

Who asked for this, and why?

It exists to reduce dependence on YouTube.

There are bad things to say about Google all day, yet consumers will still line right back up to use Google’s video service without fail. Having that content mixed in with other sites reduces dependence on YouTube over time, as creators consider decentralizing their media presence and posting content on Patreon, Nebula etc, instead of Youtube’s walled garden of Communities, Memberships and of course the channel itself.

IMO right now this app is really for people who want to support OR already are supporting creators, and are displeased with the amount of apps, bad UX and poor integration this experience entails when done outside of Youtube’s platform

If that’s not for you, then maybe the privacy aspect of Grayjay is of interest, where the YouTube integration allows you to control what data is associated with your Google account. Aside from those, most people should probably stick with their existing YouTube client. This app is targeting a specific kind of audience, and fits right in with Rossmann’s

I feel sorry for whichever researchers are in charge of training and fine tuning those models… ouch

Probably not, most forks rip the telemetry out
