2. Ist getting likelier by the decade.

They’re not unblockable.

Every now and then Twitch wastes money on circumventing adblockers, but a few weeks later ublock filters will be updated to block that again. I’m currently watching without any ads or third party add-ons besides regular uBlock.

It is a paid VPN luckily though. The issue is with “free” VPN browser add-ons.

There’s also different adblocker rules and extensions for twitch ads.

For some games and websites I have to turn it off yeah. Or at least switch the server to one that isn’t blocked.

It’s a shame that websites are allowed to track and block VPNs.

Never use VPN add-ons for your browser. Unless you get them along with your paid VPN. You should run your entire network through the VPN, not just a browser.

Hey at least Stasi only spied on people they suspected.

I’m sorry to tell you but smoking is completely socially accepted.

Yeah I know of those app stores. Sadly they don’t automatically include anything also found on GitHub. So not everything is on there.

In theory it’s always easy, but in reality there will always be some major issue. I’ve tried switching to Ubuntu twice many years ago and there was always something that didn’t work. One time it even bricked my Windows install.

Currently before actually installing it, I’ve installed Pop OS in a virtual machine. I wish I had the screenshot, but entering 4 different commands to try and install VLC player and getting an error that the command is unknown each time is degrading. A lot of the first results for installing software on Linux has commands or repositories that don’t work and you have to keep looking. It was the command on the official VLC website that didn’t work for me…

I will mainly switch to Linux whenever I feel ready for the headache of setting it up for the first time too. Already got another M.2 SSD to run it alongside my existing Win 10 for anything that doesn’t run on Linux.

Not having to use agile work methods should be another
