About ducking time

I am looking forward to this. Not because I'd like to see reddit being fair to the third party apps that helped build them (though I would like that), but because I'll get two days with my most enthralling time sink gone.
I might even get something done.

I can't believe they are going forward with those kind of costs for API calls...
I hope this kind of things stop before things even get more out of control. We don't need anybody getting more bad ideas from Twitter of all things...
Either way, I can live without browsing video game related Reddit stuff for a few days 
.
Maybe once all corporate owned social platforms kill off themselves with bad decisions, people will actually stick with better (FOSS) social platform options next time around

The free and open source software, which provides a YouTube experience minus advertising and user tracking, has been instructed to shut down within seven days. As things stand, cooperation isn't on the agenda.

Hmm. Hopefully the same as with youtube-dl - if they actually fight it, google's gonna lose.

Jumps ship for Manjaro. 
Here is a nice git/link one can post when someone 'jumps ship to Manjaro.'

One would think someone would have to really dislike something to go to the lengths of creating a GitHub account just to list and gripe about a its shortcomings, such as they were/are. (Not that I disagree.)
Why limit it to Linux? I could make a GitHub account griping about my last wife. Or maybe the one before her.

LMAO...wise words, and for the record, I would read the hell out of you griping about your wife. I would also read the hell out of the 'Issues' with your gripe your wife would report.

Apple's endorsement has renewed calls for Google to revisit its removal of JPEG XL support in the open source Chromium project – a decision that denied the codec to Chrome and to other downstream browsers like Microsoft Edge.
"Now that Apple is going to implement JPEG XL in Safari, I ask for this decision to be reversed as soon as possible," wrote one individual among several who have posted to the JPEG XL Chromium issue thread since the Apple announcement.
Googlers are among those who previously extolled the virtues of JPEG XL. In 2021, Jyrki Alakuijala, technical lead at Google Research, suggested that support for the codec be added to Chromium's Blink rendering engine.
Alakuijala's proposal cited various reasons to adopt JPEG XL – including better image quality for a given file size than JPEG, better loading behavior, and "ecosystem interest in JPEG XL" at Google, Facebook, and other companies.

It's quite a while I get those "VideoNotAvailableException", I suspect Google is actively thwarting the instances, much like the "rate limited" on Whoogle & co.

He makes a statement that if he partitioned the install manually, he could have selected something other than btrfs. I thought Garuda limited all options, manually or otherwise, to just btrfs, yes, no?
I think you can beforehand partition with for example ext4 and then install Garuda there.
I remember trying to manually partition with the KDE Dragonized version some time ago and the only option was btrfs. This is the reason why I used ALCI linux (base Arch installer) to install using ext4 then added Garuda repos to make it Garuda with ext4, kind of a workaround/Frankenstein Garuda.
Yes, in the installer, the only option is BTRFS. But if you decide to partiton beforehand (with g/qtparted or gnome-disks or KDE partiton manager or whatever), then you can direct the installer to install in that partition afterwards.
