In the case of GOS in particular, it is made ridiculously easy by the web installer though.

But X is bad, as proved by Elon Musk - so it should be the other way around.

Thanks for explaining your point of view! Would you consider reselling those if the space becomes an issue?

I am concerned about the trend of "ripping disks instead of just downloading" because it's either wasteful (throwing out a perfectly good disk feels wrong) or take up unnecessary space. Plus, this is not universal because relatively obscure media may be out of print and thus scarce. So if I were paying for my media and it was not available DRMless, I would do like how I did with Steam games - buy and then download a corresponding DRMless copy.

But they need darkness, a relatively large room and a whole spare wall... Wouldn't really fit a projector screen in the little corner between the fridge and the cupboard where our TV hangs from an arm, even the smallest ones aren't small enough. And where would you keep the projector itself, on your lap?

I don't subscribe to anyone, but have donated to the authors I like, just as I did to the FOSS projects I use. One blogger even has a site where you can tie your donation to a specific video of his.

And for Youtube Music - RiMusic does just what you described but does not require a Google account or a recurring payment.

If I want to support the creator, I would rather donate directly or subscribe to the person's Patreon. YT Premium just gives no extra features for Youtube itself so could not justify paying.

I used to think it is redundant too, but now see it as a quality-of-life difference. Because I can track my subscriptions and watch history, as well as have playlists. That is a massive improvement over folders of bookmarks.

For me, Newpipe is faster. Plus I can track my subscriptions, playlists and watch history.

That's why here, giving a student a laptop without supervision is unthinkable... Good if the school has computers at all anyway.

Because it indeed is from the early 2010s)
