The problem is that the paid premium is NOT better than free with extensions. Piracy is a service problem, and the paid service is NOT better than the "pirated" one. Even if premium was completely free, if it didn't allow extensions I would still use the ad version with extensions.

Revanced android apps also exist, and I won't use them with premium accounts (no point) and they are the only way of having sponsorblock, return youtube dislike, manual HDR and many other small but very useful features.

I would gladly pay for the content if and when the youtube official apps and website had features similar to those extensions.

Yup. Toys R Us still lives and it's still going strong in many countries like Canada and many European countries

Portugal still has multiple very successful Toys R Us stores, most of them more than 20 years old at this point

As a coffee lover, I absolutely despise anything that has that logo on it. Everything they sell is just mediocre and overpriced. They sell coffee pods and other coffee related products to use on nespresso machines and etc, and everything is just mediocre at best. There is not a single product from this brand that makes me prefer it over literally any other brand. It tasted the same as the extremely cheap white label coffee pods, but more expensive than the premium actually good options. It's a hard pass for me. I, like many others, avoid that logo like a plague. If starbucks disappeared tomorrow, the whole world would just be "oh no, anyway" and make zero difference. Most people will even reach the end of the month with more money in the pocket and zero quality of life decreases.

Not to mention that this is like a fast food for coffee. They overload sugars on every drink even if you ask it with low sugar. Their syrups are extremely sweet already. Everything tastes so plasticky and fake. Fck them.

Exactly my experience. The coffee shop literally next door has 500x better taste and quality for 1/8 of the price. Choice is simple.

If a fcking coffee on starfcks costs 12€ and the coffee shop literally next door which has 50x better coffee offers the same or very similar coffee for 2€ and probably even has friendlier staff, the choice is simple. Starbucks is killing themselves. Pikachu shocked face.

Oh no, what will turtles eat now? They will all die from hunger! 🤔 /s

Having half of the world depend on a corporate proprietary single company is the stupidest thing ever. They will learn nothing with this, sadly

I don't know what dependencies he has but my 3 year old system that is constantly being updated is full of flatpaks and all of the dependencies combined are only around 3GB. People see 1GB of dependencies and lose their mind.

I change my opinion depending on which app it is. I use KDE, so any KDE app will be installed natively for sure for perfect integration. Stuff like grub costumizer etc all native. Steam, Lutris, GIMP, Discord, chrome, firefox, telegram? Flatpak, all of those. They don't need perfect integration and I prefer the stability, easy upgrades and ease of uninstall of flatpak. Native is used when OS integration is a must. Flatpak for everything else. Especially since sometimes the distro's package is months/years old... prefering distro packages for everything should be a thing of the past.

Same app in native format: 2MB. As a flatpak: 15MB. As an appimage: 350MB.

Appimages are awesome, rock solid, and I have a few on my system, but flatpak never gave me any problem and integrates better with my KDE, and is smaller. Both have their advantages tho. I'm fine with using both. If you are a developer, make a flatpak or an appimage i dont really care just make your software available for linux. Both are fine, choose the one that fits your specific app the most.

But I also think appimages deserve the same attention and great integration with the OS as flatpaks. Stuff like that AppImageLauncher functionalities should just be integrated inside the DE itself.

But we need an universal package format for linux asap. Flatpak is on the front in this race, and I'm fine with it. Appimages second, for sure.

And yet people will just shrug it off and keep using windows. And Microsoft loves that.
