>legacy operating systems
baby ducks do not deserve technical support. Update like a normal human being.
I am up to date with what I use daily, I'm just trying to play around with an old laptop dammit
Apart from freetube and nvidious, there is nothing dedicated strictly to deadshitos.

If the laptop in question has at least somewhat decent sandy bridge CPU, at least 4 gb of ram and an SSD, it should be able to run 11 just fine with rufus trick.

If not, consider installing linux on it. You dont have much to loose anyway and you might give this device a second chance.

>make me, you little bi-This browser is out of date. Update your browser to view this website correctly
try youtube-local, my good man. it's not a desktop client but should allow you to navigate youtube without getting ass raped.
i made my own desktop youtube client which works on windows 2000 and xp
Care to link the binaries/source? Or at least tell us how you did it?

Old apple is kino...
I don't even like iShit, but I think the G3 iBook is kino.
For me it's
The amout of blank space below that keyboard hurts me.
I have autism so it is pleasing to my eyes
your ideal phenotype
If it makes you feel better I'm posting from the complete opposite right now
I hate that for separate reasons. Chiclet keyboard and no mouse buttons.
>Chiclet keyboard
I don't get this meme. It's fine and comfy, and they went right back into it after their butterfly keyboard shit killed itself for 4 years straight.
>and no mouse buttons
I literally cannot use any other trackpads. These have been a thing since 2008 and all Windows-based manufacturers have failed time and time again to replicate not only the design but the quality. Sixteen years.
>they went right back into it after their butterfly keyboard shit killed itself for 4 years straight.
Chiclet is the keycap, not the spring. You can have butterfly and rubber dome chiclets as well. I just hate the gaps between the keys and the low travel, makes touch typing harder.
>These have been a thing since 2008 and all Windows-based manufacturers have failed time and time again to replicate not only the design but the quality.
I'm not going to defend modern pc touchpads, they're shit, but I don't think I would even like the perfect Mac touchpad. There's no tactile separation between touchpad and button.
>There's no tactile separation between touchpad and button
Why do you need that? It clicks down anywhere. And the newer ones vibrate to simulate a click.
>But muh right click!!
Click anywhere with two fingers. A monkey could do it.
>It clicks down anywhere
That sounds even worse than tap to click. I don't want it to click unless I actively go out of my way to do so.
>And the newer ones vibrate to simulate a click.
Eww, I turn UI vibrations off on my phone. I definitely don't want them on my PC.
>A monkey could do it.
Its really easy to do when I don't want to do it, but never cooperates when I do want to.
>That sounds even worse than tap to click
You can also activate tap to click, autismo.
>I turn UI vibrations off on my phone. I definitely don't want them on my PC
I don't have a newer one but I imagine you can turn it off.
>Its really easy to do when I don't want to do it, but never cooperates when I do want to
Because you're probably not using a mac?
>It just werks
Yes.
I don't think you understood me. I don't want to click with the touchpad at all. I hate tap to click. I want separate buttons that I can feel with my hand and a touchpad that can not click.
And by the way, when I say "vibrate to simulate a click" I don't mean it vibrates like a phone, I tested it at a store and it does feel like clicking an actual button. "Vibrating" is just the physically correct term for it.
>I want separate buttons that I can feel with my hand and a touchpad that can not click
Advanced autism.
I don't like vibration of any kind. I turn that shit off whenever I can.
>Advanced autism.
I like to do everything by touch and have a tendency to bear down on touchpads when using them. I'd be misclicking all the time if I used a pressure sensitive touchpad.
So why Windows 2000 specifically? Is there a specific machine you were targeting or is there some missing system function on 9x that you can't do without?
9x is quite different, my programs may still work but i’ve never tested on it
Invidious and yt2009. The regular YouTube client will load in all of the Roytam browsers, Mypal68, and Supermium though.
>The regular YouTube client will load in all of the Roytam browsers, Mypal68, and Supermium though.
It does, but it's so heavy it kills my Core 2 Duo and the entire machine lags
Use invidious. Runs way faster. Its what I use on my latitude D630 and it runs like a dream.
Mmhhhh that thing keeps buffering every couple seconds (tested in modern computer first)
Try switching instances. It runs just fine even on kmeleon running on an Atom n450 processor. Its not a hardware issue.
>It looks like you found a bug in Invidious!
>On every video
Damn.
Try refreshing the webpage. If its still not working switch instances. Occasionally YouTube will IP ban an instance and then it does that until the host changes its IP.
>If its still not working switch instances
I did, I tried all of them
YouTube must be really aggressive today. Just wait a day or two and it'll be fixed. In the mean time just use vlc to stream videos.
>vlc to stream videos.
Yeah, just use "open network stream" and copy paste the video url. Works just fine and lets me do things like boost the volume past 100% and crop or stretch the video. I watch Archive.org videos the same way.
I suppose you could use yt-dlp if you're scared of streaming for whatever reason.
me on the right
There's no one to the right
