The traffic seems well ranked still. Maybe concerns of algorithmic censorship? As an example, X.com now promotes posts from premium users, and then has an extra promotion mode for premium+ users. (Normal users are now much less visible than premium users)

Do you use any extensions? I hated Gnome when I first started using Linux but now I prefer it over alternatives. My extensions

I don’t know what these people are doing who seem to claim it’s wonderful. Every single time I have tried to use one, it’s been completely clueless about the problem and wastes my time producing slop. I almost want to keep my code closed source because of awful it is at generating anything. Maybe they’re just doing very simple web design or something, I don’t know I even have started to hate Google and felt like their search engine is becoming very bad. Yandex has been returning more results and Google feels censored and replaced by generative AI answers.

Sometimes it’s specific to the application. As an example, yt-dlp is redistributed by Canonical, and they usually maintain stable packages, but their versions seem to lag like 6 months. This might be related to their desire for stability, or maybe just align to their release cycle. I don’t know. The issue is that yt-dlp needs to be updated more frequently because websites break their methods of downloading, so the version that follows the latest version seems to work better. I don’t think using PPA’s is usually recommended, (like in the photo) so I think I would recommend flatpaks first if the developer of the application maintains one themselves. (and you want to follow later releases.) Though, the first time I had to use flatseal to fix an application, I felt like flathub was a failed platform.

I guess there is a distinction. Like in Wayland, a developer can use the xdg desktop utilities to send a Notification or start a Screencast if needed. If their service requires device based age verification, a call to DeviceAgeVerification could happen… and if the user hasn’t completed it or the desktop environment hasn’t implemented it, the requesting service could just not provide it’s content. The California law seems like it places almost like an obligation of speech on developers. Like you must include this in the code. Why don’t they just give us their blob to include if it’s so easy…?

I didn’t realize it at first, but Pornhub has also been requesting device based age verification legislation.
