  • Anyone having issues with newer laptop's?

  • Can you confirm if there are processes sucking up all that cpu usage?

    Also, if it's only some desktops with that issue, then it's clearly not a lower level issue but something to do with GNOME and derivatives

  • Perfect. Right before the start of the new academic year, too!

  • Yt-dlp is the best way to download videos and audio

  • Yt-dlp or mpv? Never.

    Newpipe and piped? Newpipe takes about a week or two, to rebreak after a fix. Piped has been broken and not updated yet, for a while.

  • Soulseek. Added to my notes. Will check it out, thanks

  • I still have to wait a long time for the video to load in the Mpv cache, and sometimes I want a bunch of videos to watch later (or watch multiple times if they're educational). In which case, I either open up a bunch of videos in their own mpv windows and they all load while I'm watching the first one, or I download them while I'm doing something else.

    But loading a bunch of mpv windows is heavier than a bunch of terminals running yt-dlp (and I could also just switch to using tmux.... which I probably should get around to at some point).

  • On Floorp, I used one of the old UIs from the settings, with bookmarks, panel and everything else disabled.

    On Vivaldi, I use Custom CSS so I only get the tab bar (I'm experimenting with having it on the left hand side so I can see all my tabs and navigate more easily between them, with Ctrl-Up/Down to move focus, and Ctrl-Shift-Up/Down to move the tab in the list/stack)

    Edit: Correction: On Floorp, I also got an address bar. On Vivaldi, I use a custom keybind to get the address bar to show up when I need it.

  • Yeah, but I use a fork called Tubular so I can get SponsorBlock and ReturnYoutubeDislike.

    Edit: Turns out I just missed that there was an update. Phone playback is back!

  • Yeah, I was looking at it today actually.

    Happy Birthday, Linux.

  • Does it automatically grab things like metadata (author, cover art, etc.) for you? And if it requires a flag, do you know it?

  • It's the main way I watch youtube now. After Piped and Newpipe stopped working for me across all devices, I only use 2 methods of watching Youtube now. Open in mpv (which is configured to use yt-dlp in the backend to make things faster), and download using yt-dlp. So it's key to me keeping on watching Youtube. Recently, I've started getting ads showing up even on Mobile Vivaldi, so no more YT on my phone.

    So my new workflow is to use Piped to find a video, then copy the end of the link and type "yt-dlp

    <C-S-v>

    " in a terminal, wait for the video(s) to download, and open in mpv.

    OR

    In some cases, use Qutebrowser, with a custom keybind to open a video in mpv.

  • I'll admit I was a bit too harsh, but the UI I like to see on my browser is equivalent to Qutebrowser's aka close to none, just the slimmest tab bar possible.

  • No joke, Emacs has the ability to render in line markdown, essentially the current line is just text, while the rest of the doc is rendered as markdown titles, links, lists, etc. It's my favourite way of editing markdown but I've never found another editor that does markdown like that. Everything else has text and rendered markdown side by side as separate panes, which I personally hate.

    Edit: I stand corrected. Neovim has it too: https://github.com/MeanderingProgrammer/render-markdown.nvim

  • MASSIVE UI, like what? Why does the UI take half the screen? I specifically left Firefox for Floorp because of the massive UI, and then left Floorp for Vivaldi once I got addicted to Workspaces and saw that Vivaldi just does them better as they are really well integrated. Zen doesn't provide me anything of value, and actually takes away some. So, no thanks.

  • I'd say, neither. You can live in blissful ignorance, or in pure fear of punishment.

    You can live in satisfying freedom, or existential dread.
