What does this desktop app do that the browser extension doesn’t? I tried the cli extension but it was rubbish…

Yeah I’m still pissed about them removing the menu button that all of my apps used to depend on back in the day. Now it’s the whole selective file permissions dance giving me a headache.

Boilerplate code (the stuff you usually have to copy anyway from GitHub) and summarising long boring articles. That’s the use case for me. Other than that I agree - and having done AI service agent coding myself for fun I can seriously say that I would not trust it to run a business service without a human in the loop

Good one! I’m literally dealing with this right now on a server. Turns out you’re expected to deal with long running processes that spawn too many threads yourself, or else…

Does anyone know if this is the same way Sober is running the port of Roblox?

Newpipe works great on tablets too, a lot of Android apps have a landscape mode

So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…

Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

It’s always nice to have some motivation from doing things for others. Depending on the service, you can always host for others AND for yourself. It’s 10x as much work but you do get positive feedback (sometimes…)

Try pipepipe on f-droid

Pipepipe on f-droid is kept much more up to date in my experience. It’s a fork so basically the same

I can’t help it, whenever I see twins I say “Oh, Deja voux” out loud

My own ads, just to make sure they still work (for the 40% who still don’t block ads)

As a professional juggler practised early on to do things with either hand - whether it’s washing dishes or putting a key in the door… just paying attention to how you do things. Now can take juggle 3 balls in either hand

As a former Android developer, you can’t just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

Not that I’m sold on it, just saying…

We don’t have bears here, only lions…

Might be a coincidence but MX Linux still supports 32bit x86 CPU’s.

I recently installed MX Linux on an old Dell Inspiron 1300 which inexplicably still runs and it’s pretty snappy, considering.

Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it’s all in Chinese!

I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It’s basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms

On desktop Freetube can’t be beat

Digital. I’ve been reading ebooks for years, starting on my flip phone back in the day. The best part to me is being able to seamlessly switch from reading with my eyes to being read to (tts - I’m used to it now and it’s waaaay better than it was).

I do a lot of driving for work so I can get a ton of reading done on the road 😁

The apipocalypse same as everyone else. I do miss my niche communities, and my 4000+ internet points, but as an open source enthusiast (I use arch btw) I’m very much at home here 😁
