Sorry, I don’t see what this has to do with my comment? I was answering the question “What is the point of Youtube Premium anyway?” and said nothing about the price increase.

It means the creators I enjoy actually get paid, whereas with adblock they don’t get any ad revenue.
First sentence of the article:
Reddit is bringing back r/Place — a collaborative project where individual users can edit pixels on a giant canvas

TIL! Thanks for the clarification.
I have a Targus cooling pad that works pretty well for that. It’s like a thin plastic tray thing with vents and a USB-powered fan to provide extra cooling, but I mostly use it without the fan to elevate my laptop off my lap and allow for extra airflow. Something similar might work well for your use case.
That said, I’ve noticed my laptop’s fan will start to make an obnoxious rattling noise if I use it on my lap for too long. Fan rattle is a known issue with my laptop and it goes away once it’s sat on my desk for a while, but it can be annoying so YMMV.
I think that might be the codecs’ fault. At least for me, my headphones sound terrible in headset mode on all the devices I’ve tried, regardless of whether they’re running Linux, MacOS, iOS, or Android.
Statcounter bases their data on web traffic. If you’re browsing the web on your Steam Deck, I think that should count.
I’m not sure Twitter is a Cloudflare customer. There’s no Cloudflare infrastructure referenced by the DNS entries for twitter.com.
This feels short-sighted. The odds of the protest having a major and immediate impact were always low. It’s not like the suits were going to have a sudden change of heart and realize they were alienating their users. The majority of Reddit’s userbase weren’t going to suddenly leave the site forever. But that wasn’t the point.
Here’s what’s changed since the API changes were announced:
We now have an established alternative to Reddit that has reached a critical mass for growth. A lot more people are now working on making the fediverse better, and communities are forming that will attract new users on their own. From now on, every time Reddit makes another move like this, more people will move over (or get closer to moving over) and Reddit will drop in quality even more as a result. If there’s ever a Digg V4 moment (maybe when they kill old.reddit), the fediverse will be much more prepared to take on the mass exodus that results.
Gotcha. I honestly just paid for Obsidian Sync, so I haven’t really evaluated the other options myself. I just know I’ve seen people mention that it was non-trivial or impossible to set up things like Git or Syncthing for syncing.
Honestly, I should probably set up a system-wide adblocker, but I just use uBlock in Firefox and avoid apps that shove ads in my face.
Adding another +1 for Obsidian. I’ve tried a whole lot of note-taking apps over the years and Obsidian is the best I’ve ever used by a pretty significant margin.
That said, there’s one caveat to note about self-hosting: if you’re on iOS, there’s not much of an option for syncing besides their paid Obsidian Sync service. I think there are some hacky workarounds for this, but they don’t seem great.
Another option to consider is Joplin. I used it before Obsidian, and while it’s not nearly as slick as Obsidian, it is fully open source, cross-platform, Markdown-based, and supports syncing with a variety of protocols out of the box. I had it set up to sync to a directory on my NAS using WebDAV and it worked reasonably well across all my devices. It also feels more Evernote-like to me than Obsidian and there’s a built-in option to import an ENEX file if you want to move your notes over.
I had wondered about this. I figured that all of these surveillance capitalist adtech/analytics companies would have to have some metrics on this.
What would be really nice to know is how the numbers look now that the blackout has been over for a while. A 6.6% drop is pretty tiny if it only lasted a day or two.
I think this article from the Verge explains it pretty well.
tl;dr:
