Google is usually evil but are you really going to just decide what technology is good or bad based on who made it instead of what it does?

You need to do something with it is what I'm saying.

I'd say it's the opposite even, trying to "let it go" as in ignore and not process anger is itself a recipe for it eating you alive over time. Anger needs a voice.

FreeTube is currently broken, maybe for the same reason OP is having problems, YouTube changed something on their end. Although supposedly the fix is coming through shortly. Shoutouts to the maintainers doing all this work.

If it's really what is described (an app that other apps can use to classify content without querying a server), seems like a good thing to me. There is a clear need for people to be able to filter spam and things they don't want to see. Imagine a Lemmy app where you can set it to not show you US politics related posts, where it will work regardless of whether specific keywords are in the title. Couldn't that kind of thing contribute to a more decentralized web?

From the article:

"Classifying things like this is not the same as trying to detect illegal content and reporting it to a service," GrapheneOS said. "That would greatly violate people's privacy in multiple ways and false positives would still exist. It's not what this is and it's not usable for it."

The problem is if you try to just ignore hatred and think happy thoughts instead that's likely to fail because it's still there. Better to realize that what you are angry about is bigger than one individual and the weaknesses that led to treating you badly, and instead take it out on that bigger thing in everything you do.

Yeah, sorry, my tone was too harsh there, it's definitely relevant context

If you're considering how good software is, how it was made is irrelevant, the only thing to measure is how well it works. A criticism of Linux from a user perspective is still valid regardless of who is or isn't to blame.

Thanks for the info, I'm on linux mint and after checking these out it isn't immediately apparent from their websites whether or how I could install them. Still think etcher occupies a niche that alternatives don't fill, its website directs you straight to installing it, it's cross platform, and using it is very easy, so it's something that could reasonably be linked to in various install tutorials.

I almost never use my phone, mostly just when I need it for authentication stuff. Computer only for everything else. Hoping to be able to get rid of the phone at some point.

Tried this prompt with deepseek-r1:14b, it seems to get it right about half the time, otherwise giving the wrong quote or claiming it wasn't really Thomas Jefferson who said it.
