@bloodaxe @ORSOrama I won’t try to pass myself off as a form of Sampson, no 😂

@monotonehell Thanks! It’s hard to know when you’re looking at yourself, because it’s such a big change!

Man, I felt pretty insecure about the shaven head look (need to update the profile pic in here too), but the comments on YouTube have been insanely supportive, insane confidence boost!

I never thought I’d reach a point where YouTube comments would make me feel better 😂

As search is getting increasingly bogged down with ads, Ai crap, and SEO is becoming a game Google is losing, I took a look at how you can "fix" some of Google's problems, and the alternatives that I personally use, or have used in the past, plus a few others I don't use but might be interesting.

Web search isn't in a good place right now, but there are solutions!

Félicitations pour le succès !

In this one, we have the beta for Plasma 6.4, with a lot of cool stuff coming, the US copyright office saying that Generative A.I. pushes the boundaries of fair use, and some big stuff happening around web search engines:

A channel's viewer was kind enough to send me an image to give a shot to 1, and I decided to take a look at that version I had never used.

And, well, GNOME really lost a LOT of stuff in the transition from GNOME 1, to 2 and then to GNOME 3...

It's been 2 years since I made a desktop environment Tier List (I was waiting for a stable Cosmic release...), so I felt it was time to get this thing out, because things have moved quite a bit in terms of how desktops work, and how I feel about them.

So, here's my ranking, and why I ranked each desktop as high, or as low as I did:

@AngryAnt I don’t backup my video projects, unfortunately, I save them manually to a hard drive when they’re published, but I need to set up something soon
