Only 44 really?

• Seriously, #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips is way too tolerant to the #Enshittification!

@ennolenze Okay, das ist besser als das #LinusTechTips - #Meme!

Seriously, if I was #LinusSebastian of #LinusTechTips I'd literally choose to #donate the cost of a #TeamViewer #subscription to #FLOSS #RemoteDesktop projects like #Dayon instead and sue TeamViewer into upholding their contract or a full refund with interest as if it was a loan because clearly they chose violate that contract on their own terms and initiative!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT1t1JlZugM&t=140

And yes, Dayon! is awesome and I can fully recommend this as an alternative to TeamViewer, #AnyDesk, etc.

https://retgal.github.io/Dayon/

• For any system that needs Remote Access as unattended I'd recommend to setup a #VPN or at least a Reverse-#SSH connection anyway so one can launch something like Dayon! by just sending a single command and have #RemoteDesktop access on-demand.

So yeah, TeamViewer literally shot themselves in the foot here by deciding to shaft paying customers who were able and willing to pay the absurd prices you asked for for a one-time license.

• Also whilst TeamViewer does OFC maintain some infrastructure, most what they do is basically run a "rendrevous"-Server to allow two endpoints behind NATs to connect to each other and exchange details to make UPnP-style hole-punching work.

That's traffic in the single-digit megabytes per year and client, as there's not much between as clients pinging their server and basically boing some simple handshakes.

• And as Linus said it's not his problem if they gotta have to keep systems up and running in perpetuity. They offered that deal and now they have to suffer through it! By paying the obligations are on to TeamViewer to make it work and continue to make it work!

Also if I'm on a #LAN why would I want to use TeamViewer and not any #VNC (or god forbid #RDP) server? THE WHOLE POINT OF USING TeamViewer, AnyDesk, etc. IS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NATs, FIREWALLS AND IP-ADDRESSES AND JUST GET CONNECTED FFS!!!

• Personally I use #Remmina and Dayon, but that's because Remmina is comfortable even for SSH and can do that as well as RDP & VNC and Dayon is just the simple option I can walktrough people that need #TechSupport #remote|ly for a quick hands-on...

Definitely my recommendation because it also allows for any use-cases and doesn't nag one to "buy a license!"

• So please someone please let #Linus know about Dayon so he can do a "TeamViewer alternatives" video...

Interestingly, #YouTube claims that showing content on how to #download or even #watch #videos hosted on their site as "#HarmfulContent"...

• And I'm not talking about 'bypassing paywalls' or 'circumventing age restrictions' but merely saying that '#YoutubeDLP got an #update' or 'a new #Invidious release came out.'

So not even encouraging "#crimes" like #piracy. (Which OFC they don't want to see on their platform!)

• Simply having #ytdlp being shown as one of many programs in the #Flatpak Repo of #LinuxMint is apparently sufficient to get a video yeeted off the platform.

Seriously, WTF!?

• Even #LinusTechTips and @geerlingguy ain't safe.

"#Malware maker sponsors a #shitpost by a #TechIlliterate #Windows n0ob to sell their #Rootkit to #TechIlliterates" would'nt be as clickbaity but a #HonestVideoTitle instead...

Anyone know what happened to the #LTT #Minecraft #Server?

• It was reachable on mc.ltt.gg but since vanished.

I assume with the most competent Sysadmin [ @emilyyoung ] gone, #LinusTechTips had noone there to care or maintain it and as we all know from TheMisterEpic, hosting a Minecraft Server is expensive as in having very real costs with #Staffing, even if one can get #Hosting and #Hardware for free [which it never is!]...

Also yes, I think #Vsauce prioritizing #quality over #quantity is good.

• If I wanted a #content machinegun I'd turn on #LinusTechTips or sth...

most expensive by capacity

• Damn #LinusTechTips #Clickbait!

People who think #LinusTechTips has obnoxious and disingenous #Thumbnails and #Titles should definitely not look at this shit:

• This is the most disingenous #ClickBait I've seen cuz not only is the #Eurostar & #Eurotunnel in the #NorthSea but even if there were corals and reefs between #UK and #France a train relying on overhead electrification could work submerged in #saltwater!

But I guess it worked in #RageBait|ing me...

Right, I'm going to do something I dislike, but I literally don't know how else to get support to follow up with me.
I have indeed submitted two support requests in the intervening time, i'm not just being lazy I promise.
On 17 Aug I made a video about #FloatPlane accessibility and how not good it is.
I wasn't a troll, I was constructive and thoughtful, and yet I cannot get a hold of anyone at either Floatplane Media or LTT.
If *anyone* happens to know someone at one of these companies and could get my video to them, I'd be extremely grateful.
The other thing I really dislike doing is asking if people could boost for reach, but I'll make an exception.
Fedi is big now, and far more reaching than modern-day xitter, so all help gratefully received.
I thank you in advance.

Google took down a Linus Tech Tips video because it taught users how to download YouTube without using YouTube.

It would be a shame if that backfired and caused more people to learn how to download YouTube videos!

oh hello Jakob from LTT is a Lemmy user and Fediverse booster?

It's nice to see #LinusTechTips doing the #69DollarPC more often, tho #ScrapyardWars should e done even more often.

• Also anyone betting I can do a € 50, €25 or €10 PC?

And yes, I mean those numbers with shipping and a useable desktop.

In my eyes, LTT has veered significantly more towards entertainment than information, even with their whole "LTT Labs".

#LinusTechTips and their sister channel #ShortCircut have looked at several.
