        I actually have it installed on my desktops. It doesn’t work on mobile and it doesn’t work on thumbnail previews in lemmy either. Also the number of videos that actually have an alternative thumbnail is like 10%, at best.

        I’ve also “gotten over it” by just not watching videos like this.

        I have been looking for something like this for ages. Wish it could be integrated into freetube and newpipe. Thanks for sharing!

        This is really interesting, will have to give it a shot. Wonder if it can be integrated into grayjay.

      As long as the title is in line with the videos content I don’t mind but whenever I see the word “slams” it grinds my gears

    didnt finish the video but, seriously, one of the best laymans explainations I have seen of emulation and thin compatibility layers.

      This is about Proton, not about a programming language. Besides that, C# is actually cross platform.

      all reasonably popular engines are cross platform
