Actually, apparently, some people don't have that inner voice. It's a legitimate thing. https://youtu.be/7EIpwVHa_P8

There any custom versions you can point me to? I've been looking for a custom Android OS to install on my Insignia Fire TV.

Or anywhere poor or remotely interesting.

Freedom software in c/[email protected]

My antivirus is extra paranoid: it scans new files as soon as they're unzipped or as soon as I try to run them for the first time.

After 40 years of being free Microsoft has added a paywall to Notepad in c/[email protected]

I turned off that AI stuff as soon as I saw it. Click the gear icon in Notepad in the upper right to open settings and turn it off.

Amazon thought it could compete with Steam because it was so much larger than Valve, but Prime Gaming's former VP admits that 'gamers already had the solution to their problems' in c/pcgaming

GOG Galaxy has the ability to download offline installers. They're listed under Extras on the game's page. It's arguably even better there than on the website because you can download those .bin files all in a single click.

Prime Gaming gives away free games every week or so. It's one of the perks available to those subscribed to Amazon Prime.

Those games can be on EGS, Amazon's own launcher (that nobody uses), GOG, or Legacy Games Launcher.

Specifying file paths in c/[email protected]

Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it's been that way since at least Windows 7.

Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it's easier to type that.

Yeah, I think Firefox's translation feature is technically still in beta.

From the SmartTube GitHub:

install Downloader by AFTVnews on your Android TV, open it and enter kutt.it/stn_beta or kutt.it/stn_stable, then read, understand and confirm the security prompts. (You can also enter 79015 (for beta) or 28544 (for stable), but this requires an extra step to install the AFTVnews Downloader browser addon if you haven't already.)

The AFTVnews Downloader is available on both Google Play and Amazon Fire TVs. After installing SmartTube, it can self-update on its own without needing another app.
