Most professional programmers I meet use Linux. A few even scrap MacOS out to install Linux on them.

The surface level entitlement in these threads are always off the charts.
Everyone is on this bandwagon that Google hates adblockers on youtube. It certainly does but it hasn’t been this agressive as of late.
You know why?
The issue google has is with server farms guzzling up the entirety of their video database for training their AI. They’re using open source tools/frontends to do these downloads. That takes up lot of resource and bandwidth unlike ignoring the minority of plebs using youtube without ads.
They want to rule the AI trend not fuel the COMPETITION. They will do whatever to keep their competition from getting ahead.
And it isn’t cheap to keep up with server farms unlike letting miniscule numbers of terminally online mouth breathing basement dwellers who think too high of themselves block ads.
But whatever floats your boat.
On Lemmy, it’s a sin to make money off your work, especially if it is opensource core projects providing paid infrastructure/support. You can only ask for donations and/or quit. No in-between.
