Are you sure that’s Discord and not Revolt? Or does Discord have all of those too? If so, maybe I should play around with it.

Saddle and bike form matters a lot

What happened to your "th"s

Don’t know if it’s succesful, but definitely just straight up stupid.

The are many places where it’s not even allowed because it does not meet the local safety and protection standards. It’s a fundamentally unsafe design, especially for the people outside of it. It should not be allowed on the roads, and the EU agrees with this.

Even if it was allowed within the EU, you would need a special driver’s licence for it.

That is basically the problem. Also that fractional scaling on Linhx generally still gives blurry results. Fractional scaling without explicit support from the apps side is very difficult to implement.

And yes, there are a ton of of apps that don’t correctly respect OS hints for size. Even more common among apps that aren’t Linux first, or are proprietary.

I think the baseline of what I would want is:

• Have actual moderation of the ads. Don’t allow malware ads, don’t allow porn ads etc
• Don’t allow obtrusive ads, or at least categorize them and have preferences. Do NOT play my ads 2x the volume of whatever I was watching.
• Don’t interrupt my video with ads. Play before or after. Ideally after, but I can see why that would not be feasible. I guess it is also feasable if the creator marks ad breaks, like the current-day sponsor segments.

I genuinely think Youtube premium is alrightish as it is. I wouldn’t pay for it; though, since I do not want to give my money to Google. They are getting enough out of me that I don’t want to give them.

I honestly just want the alternatives, like PeerTube, to have a funding model, which allows creators to get paid. Donations? Sure. Optionally ads? Sure. I think peertube having opt-in ads that go to the creator would go a long way.

Halfway competent criminals know how to prevent it. But at the same time, I am simply against any and all non-consensual tracking.

I have a similar stance on this as DRM.
