  Sorry to not really answer your question, but I’m just curious what distros and kernel combinations you’ve tried on your 2020 thinkpad that don’t support the hardware keys? I never ran Linux on a thinkpad but I’ve heard that they are fairly well supported. Also, I wonder if it’s an issue with you desktop environment, which ones have you tried? I’ve seen most hardware features seem to work on KDE but many didn’t on xfce for example.As a bit of an anti-consumer, I would recommend trying a few totally different distros and DEs with the latest kernels just to be sure that it’s really not supported.

  To answer your question a bit. I’ve honestly not had issues with drivers of any kind on any desktop hardware since I started using arch with KDE. I don’t even bother checking compatibility anymore. This is even true for Nvidia GPUs although there are some issue with Wayland there. For a laptop, I do watch videos of people opening them up to fix or upgrade them before I buy. If the laptop is hard to open or upgrade or if it breaks easily during the process because its only held together with plastic clips and glue then I don’t suggest you buy it unless portability is more important to you than device lifetime.

  Its not as easy as replacing a lightbulb but about as easy as upgrading PC components.

  If freedom of speech is granted to all and there is legal precedent and long standing tradition for that case then all should be able to have freedom of speech regardless of status.

  Holy shit that’s crazy. Why doesn’t Australia have toilets that you can remove from the floor? If you want to replace a toilet you gotta beat it with a mallet?

  These are all unique and different projects with their own codebases, devs and issues. If you want to learn more, try searching for their official git repos. If you want to see a quick list of YouTube related apps, with screenshots, feature lists, and links to the project pages then I suggest using F-Droid with the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repo enabled, and just searching youtube.

  For a bit more details on how yo do that check out my other comment lemmy.world/comment/15622037.

  You can totally just install the latest release straight from the git repository. However, how often will you remember to check if there is a new release? If you want your apps to stay up-to-date you have 2 options. (Ordered from least effort to most effort)

  1. F-Droid (minimal setup, slower releases)

  • Install F-Droid or one of the many 3rd party clients (I like Droid-ify the most right now)
  • enable the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repoin the Repository settings of the F-Droid client
  • install FreeTube Android

  2. Obtainium (moderate setup, quickest releases)

  • Install the latest release of Obtainium directly from the git repo
  • go to app configurations search for Obtainium and click on the add to Obtainium button so that Obtainium can update itself when there is a new release.
  • In Obtainium, click on Add App. Then insert the release page URL for FreeTube Android (github.com/MarmadileManteater/…/releases) as the value for App Source URL, then click the Add button next to it and you are set.

  I love it and yes, sometimes youtube makes a breaking change that any dev needs to find a work around for.

  I use freetube on both because I can manage subscriptions better on it, and export to newpipe or freetube desktop easily. Freetube also includes sponsor block which is great.

  I also keep newpipe on my phone as a backup since sometimes it works when freetube doesn’t. I auto-update freetube from fdriod but let obtainum auto-update newpipe straight from their git repo so I know I got a good chance if having at least one working app.

  I haven’t tried pipepipe, it’s been a long time since I watched a billibilli vid. (BGM!!!)

  I started using FreeTube on both desktop and android and never have to sign in anymore. I also get a lot of cool features that aren’t available in YouTube.

  True. I think it depends if pasta is the main or just a side dish. But weighing spaghetti on a scale is pretty cumbersome. I’m just imagining the infomercial of some guy knocking the plate off the scale and then spaghetti is all over the floor saying there’s got to be a better way and then another guy comes up, and rips off his shirt to reveal his spaghetti portoner nipple ring.

  I think I would prefer a simple nipple piercing pasta portioner, cause I always have a hard time figuring out how much to cook.

  A Mossberg 500 is less than the cost of a midrange smart phone, about $500 new. You can deck it out like with that Streamlight TL Racker flashlight pictured and other accessories too for like another $200-300 and it would still be cheaper than an iphone.
