I still feel confident I can nail Gens 1-4.

If only I wasn't such a moron with trying to navigate around Nvidia drivers and Optimus, this sounds fantastic.

I have yet to figure all of this out and get to a smooth and stable state.

Probably an old man yelling at cloud sentiment, but I hated them from the very beginning.

As someone who LOVES warp (despite not being crazy about requiring login), this is fantastic news.

Yeah this is never a good sign.

That being said, perhaps because I got into a couple.of their podcasts, but I like a bunch of people at IGN. How come you're not a fan?

+1 on the "don't engage him or this" gang.

I know, right? But I suppose their reasoning is that my ads are also blocked across the rest of their ecosystem, my subscription isn't covering those losses.

Still though, a model that requires that customers look at something they don't want to nor will engage with smells like failure.

I can't remember what video I watched that talked about the unsustainabilty and likely the late stages of an ad revenue driven internet content model, and this situation reeks of that.

I don't know what new paradigm might replace it if this is the case, but the current model feels like it's absolutely failing.

So I have YouTube premium but also have ad-blocker, for the first time yesterday I was noticing absolutely abysmal speeds on YouTube and I suspect this is why. I thought my computer was starting to shit the bed initially it was so brutal.

Smh my head

That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.
