From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

That thumbnail alone means "no, thanks".

Install DeArrow and get over it already

[–] Creat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

I actually have it installed on my desktops. It doesn't work on mobile and it doesn't work on thumbnail previews in lemmy either. Also the number of videos that actually have an alternative thumbnail is like 10%, at best.

I've also "gotten over it" by just not watching videos like this.

I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

[–] Teppichbrand@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In FreeTube, go to Settings > SponsorBlock and enable "Use DeArrow Video Titles" and "Use DeArrow for thumbnails"

[–] hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 week ago

this is absolutely incredible. thank you so much!

[–] teawrecks@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

This is really interesting, will have to give it a shot. Wonder if it can be integrated into grayjay.

As long as the title is in line with the videos content I don't mind but whenever I see the word "slams" it grinds my gears

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Yep YouTube face and useless red arrow

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

didnt finish the video but, seriously, one of the best laymans explainations I have seen of emulation and thin compatibility layers.

[–] LodeMike 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

WINE is not an emulator

[–] qprimed@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

GNUs Not Unix. I don't recall him claiming it was. if he did, well... :-/

Fair

Devs should use crossplatform engines. No C# based crap.

[–] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 10 points 1 week ago

This is about Proton, not about a programming language. Besides that, C# is actually cross platform.

[–] 737@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago

all reasonably popular engines are cross platform

John Bolton?
