  • YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures

    Jump

  • Yes. I was searching for a video about a panda refusing to bathe on YouTube app of a friend’s phone.

    The first 4-6 results were Shorts, and I had no way of knowing if they were what I wanted apart from the thumbnails, since the titles were truncated. The next four were only semi-related videos, in the sense it was about a panda.

    The rest of the videos that followed were absolutely bonkers. From Minecraft clips to random mobile arcade games I have never heard of, and many, many, MANY AI generated Chinese videos featuring a baby doing farm work, masonry, or other kinds of labor.

    In a way, it felt like a display of arrogance. In the sense that YouTube was confident it had already served me what I was looking for in the first 10 results, and then said: “Now that you have seen what you searched for, why not watch this crap?”

  • One glance at the GitHub issues reveals just how much of a struggle it is for the NewPipe developers to keep the app functioning, with YouTube constantly targeting every trick they use.

    It's draining so much of their time and energy that there's barely anything left for working on new features.

    The mental exhaustion of the developers is another issue entirely, one that should be obvious to anyone familiar with the demands of maintaining a relatively popular open source project. The fact that it involves YouTube only makes things worse for them.

  • I would prioritise making a perfect 10 out of that 6, and then handling the remainder. 

     
        
7 + 6
3 + 4 + 6
3 + 10

    Also, how is this relevant to ADHD?

  • Wonderful. Thank you for the source artwork and the steps.

    Did you make the Ganesha artwork by yourself? Can you share the artwork?

    Where’s Wayne Tower?

    P.P.S. Sorry, I could not resist myself.

  • Another deGoogled iPhone

    Jump

  • It is not. It is probably the only thing aside from Orion browser, that Kagi offers for free.

    I have used it in the past to test its accuracy, and it neither asked me to log in nor pay.

  • Reddit -> Lemmy (Voyager on iOS, dreaming of an eventual complete migration)

    I too long for when communities (Indian and some niche ones) have more activity on Lemmy. They exist here, but have no activity after their creation. Until things pick up, I continue to access Reddit on iOS using SinkIt.

    YouTube -> FreeTube (Unwatched on iOS)

    Thank you for sharing about Unwatched. It fills the void in iOS that Tubular fills perfectly in Android.

    I am not entirely sure why, but I remember seeing Unwatched’s creator @fer0n@lemmy.world/@fer0n@lemm.ee quite often back when Lemmy iOS apps were starting off (Mlem, Memmy, WefWef, etc.) in the fall of 2023, perhaps he was a major contributor or creator of such apps.

  • If you have to pick only one Desktop Environment and use it till your computer breaks, what would you choose?

    Jump

  • MATE has been on most of my machines, except the BSD ones.

    But past year or so, I have grown a fondness towards ctwm, and gradually migrated my machines to it, Linux and BSD alike.

    It is not a DE, but the fact that I have to assemble my suite of software myself on my machines, makes the point of using DEs moot.

  • Frustrated YouTube viewers seek explanation for hour-long unskippable ads (Update: Statement)

    Jump

  • I am wondering the same, mentioning the specific hardware makes very little sense, when it could just be mentioned as Linux/Windows/PC and Android/GrapheneOS/etc.

    It would arguably be more informative too for people looking for alternatives for their device platforms.

  • Sharing another app suggestion(s) for Android: Tubular [0] or the more up-to-date LastPipeBender [1].

    Both apps differ from NewPipe and its variants by integrating with PeerTube along with YouTube, apart from providing features like SponsorBlock and ReturnYouTubeDislike.

    I have started using PeerTube much more often as my subscriptions from YouTube and PeerTube are now shown together, which makes for a seamless and superior experience altogether.

  • HMD Skyline lauded as Most Repairable Smartphone of 2024

    Jump

  • I did look into this while researching the phone, while still knowing that it is not a practical approach for most people. However, HMD phones are absent from the custom firmware scene.

    E: Instead, I found a lot of news articles on HMD's erratic update schedules for its phones.

  • I was about to buy this phone as a Christmas gift to someone who was a fan of the Nokia Lumia phones, but the high reparability makes little sense when the software support is only for two years from the phone's release date.

  • Having (re)started using IRC recently, I can see it being a good alternative. But more accessible options like Matrix and Discourse are being overlooked.

  • The rampant use of Discord in FLOSS project is really disheartening. To join yet another Discord channel to receive any kind of support or discussions around the project, is off-putting.
