People who use alternative clients are just using add blockers on the main cite anyway so i don't see why YouTube should even try to stop them.

From what i've heard if your not willing to use the nvidia proprietary drivers then DON'T go for nvidia you will get terrible performance and amd will always be significantly better.

If you consider the proprietary drivers then I think it depends on your use case. For example AMD is better value if your gaming without ray tracing if you want to play with ray tracing or do any kind of productivity Nvidia is generaly the better option. For machine learning Nvidia has much better compatibility with everything so you will have a better time and better performance, Although if you only care about running the largest models you can with the available vram then AMD gpu's will have more vram for the price.

Intel arc is also always an option if you are aiming for a lower tire/mid range card. They have really price competitive cards and unlike amd they have very decent ray tracing and productivity capability's. They also have lots more vram for the price compared to Nvidia.

Also I highly recommend buying a used graphics card, you help the environment, save a lot of money and if you don't like the card you chose you can sell it for the same price your bought it and buy a different one.

Maybe if you could specify your use case and what cards you are currently looking at I could help you out more.

 

I recently bought a pair of KZ zsn pro x from the official store on ali express and when I started listening to them they sound really empty with seemingly no base. This is comparing to my budget gaming headphones (razer blackshark v2) From what I've heard online there is nothing but good things said about them. I got them on special for like 15 bucks which is so cheap.

Is it normal for iem's to have a almost non existent base compared to headphones or did I just get a bad batch of what I ordered? I did hear some complaints about bad Qc which I think means quality control so maybe thats the problem I'm no audiophile so I don't really know.

[[SOLVED]] Never mind guys sorry I am a little bit silly. They really need to go all the way right up your ears.

Been using searx for a while it's awesome. When I finally set up my own home server I will self host it.

OpenAI, Google, and Meta, for example, can push back against most excessive government demands.

Sure they "can" but do they?

Sorry but there is no way I'm using imessages so many people I know have an android phone so that just won't work. It's closed source, has no encryption at all when contacting anyone who doesn't have an iphone. And it's apple, and apple sucks. iMessages is half the reason why I became anti capitalist it's such a great example of the pitfalls of capitalism.

Hi everyone, I am looking for an encrypted messaging service to start using and recommending to my friends and family, I really want to get this right the first time. At the moment I'm looking at using matrix I really like it's bridges and federated nature, Although I'm not 100% sure about it's ux.

What I want to ask is what messaging service do you use and do you have any regrets with it? What encrypted messaging service would you recommended?

Edit: I just had another question are any of the bridges in matrix end to end encrypted? If person A used matrix and person B used signal could person A use a bridge to talk to person B securely?

Edit 2: thanks for all the responses guys it looks like signal seams like the best option since it has really good security like many other messaging apps but it's also easy to use.

I am a Linux beginner/amateur and I have sort of had enough of copy and pasting commands I find on the internet without having a good understanding of how they actually work.

I guess my end goal is to be able to comfortably install and use arch Linux with my own customization's and be able to fix it when things go wrong.

What tips/ideas do you have for getting better at navigating the terminal, and getting a better understanding of how the os works. What is a good roadmap to follow? And how did you, advanced Linux user, get to the stage your at now?

Edit: my current distro is bazzite just in case you were interested and thanks for all the replies you are all really helpful.

 

For the first time I am actually switching my main PC from Windows to Linux.

Problem: When booting into Fedora there was no display output, I changed it to safe graphics to install everything and that fixed it but after the install finished I tried turning it back off and there was still no display output

What I have already tried: I've tried installing drivers and everything I could find although that shouldn't be the problem since I have an AMD 6700xt and Fedora comes with AMD drivers built in. I also tried Installing Linux Mint thinking maybe the distro was the problem but it came up with the same issue.

And if anyone suggests it no there is no way I am going to daily drive on safe graphics.

Edit: I am dual booting on a single 500gb ssd with windows already installed on the other half of the drive, not sure if that would be the problem. Also a similar problem was happening on windows if I left the screen in login for too long without signing in the display would show no signal and it wouldn't wake up if I moved my mouse or clicked or pressed any keys.
