    Youtube on the RPI5 drops frames and is stuttery. If that’s fine for you, great. But I’d argue it’s not what people consider a good viewing experience. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBQosbjl9Jw&t=278s and https://youtu.be/nBtOEmUqASQ?si=VXFGVBid5wCrhu-u&t=797 if you’d like more info.

    The accessories I mentioned for the RPI5 are the bare essentials just to get the thing to power up, boot to a web browser, and connect to a monitor to try to play YouTube, which is the foundation of your original comment. Please show me where a $120 used laptop or desktop tower needs additional hardware purchases to boot and plug in an HDMI cable.

    You’re picking the wrong fight with the wrong guy, friend. I’m a huge RPI advocate and I think they are great tools for specific use cases. I simply want to point out that if folks are considering it in the hopes that it’s a small and cheap way to watch YouTube, they’re gonna have a bad time.

    Yep. First of all, the person who said an RPI5 can show YouTube HD just fine is lying. It’s still stuttery and drops frames (better than the RPI4b, but still not great). Second, you’ll end up dropping well north of $100 for the RPI5, active cooler, case, memory card (not even mentioning an m2 hat), power supply, and cable / adapter to feed standard HDMI.

    You can find some really solid used laptops and towers in that price range, not to mention the n100 NUC. And they’ll all stream YouTube HD much better, as well as provide a much smoother desktop experience overall.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love me a RPI, I run a couple myself. They’re just not great daily drivers, especially if you want to stream HD content.

    Did you read what I wrote? I’m responding to @Gigan@lemmy.world’s original statement of “So 100% of women have been sexually assaulted?”. @boogetyboo@aussie.zone then responded with “Every woman I know including myself has?”. I simply replied saying that “Everyone I know” is not the same as “100% of women”.

    If you read all of that, and you’re standing by your reply, then it sounds like you’re agreeing with me and @Gigan@lemmy.world by stating “Assaulted? No.”

    But too many have been sexually harassed at least once. I think it was 1 in 3 girls experiences sexual harassment before age 18.

    I completely agree with you. But that’s not what my comment was about.

    Every woman I know including myself has?

    Your anecdotal experience doesn’t equate to 100% of women.

    You don’t have to believe anything. It’s not a faith based system.

    It’s also not an anecdote-based system.

    Just speak to women and you’ll hear how common it is.

    Common is not equal to all. OP is doubting the implication that all women have been assaulted.


  • Can we please get bookmarks to remember your most recently used folder? Whenever I want to open a bookmark, I’m forced to start at the root folder and navigate around to find the folder and bookmark I want. If I just used a bookmark from some subfolder of my bookmarks, then I go to open a new one, the bookmark folder should be the last one I used. Instead it always starts at root.

    It’s incredibly annoying. All other browsers (including Firefox on iOS) get this right. There have been multiple requests / bugs filed for this for years, but so far nothing.
