I don’t think it’s possible to takedown a project that doesn’t use any proprietary code. You have to supply your own rom.
I was going to post this exact comment because I, too listen to the Linux After Dark podcast.
lol this is such a classic Linux trope
Person A: I can’t seem to get this to work! Arg!

Here’s an example of the last time JDownloader saved me. There was a website where people were posting archives of old skateboard videos. There were hundreds of links across dozens of pages in a forum. All links to sites like mega.
I was able to view all pages in one document and extracted all of the hundreds of links and put them in JDownloader. Over the course of the next several weeks JDownloader was able to manage those downloads without clogging my bandwidth. If a download failed it would notify me and I could retry it.
Can you imagine trying to do that in Firefox?

Raising prices is not enshittification, that’s inflation.
Not paying employees well is not enshittification, that’s under-compensation.
YouTube putting more ads in their videos including when the video is paused isn’t enshittification that’s… wait no that is enshittification.
Enshittification refers to offering the same service (often free, or at least with an option to pay more) but making it worse in order to squeeze you onto a paid (or higher paid) tier of service. This sounds good to shareholders but ultimately it alienates their customers and often leads to a company dying.
It wasn’t until windows shat itself and I couldn’t boot into it anymore that I took my Linux drive more seriously.
How is that heartbreaking?
I’ve tried playing that game a few times, but I’m ashamed to say that it is too scary for me lol
I’ve never played it but I hear the god of war version psp got was good.
I remember once I pirated a pack of something like 100 000 fonts and I stupidly installed all of them and then Photoshop couldn't change fonts because it would take like 10 minutes to load them in the drop down menu.
