Shitty icons, unnecessary quick panel change, and obligatory AI.

I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

I started using YTDLP to download the shows I care about and have them saved offline.

I used to watch a show that got taken down. The show came back online few months later with heavy modifications to remove any potential DMCA footage from it.

I do have two questions here to be honest,

1. Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
2. Why use this instead of RedReader?

Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.

What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.

The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.

It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

They will still keep them green. You know how teens react to those bubbles.

First recall, then getting rid of local accounts, and now this.

Might shift back to Linux now.

What about it’s batteries?

They are still chemical so they wouldn’t last forever.

Would love to know what type of porn is being looked at there.

No. But expect to do more work for the same pay since things are slightly easier now with AI.

Obviously you never heard of Revanced. Search it online and get to know how to patch one. You will thank me.

The fastest Google product kill right there.

Could have been a great Dex alternative.

For long term storage at home, HDDs are the way to go.

Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.

Honestly, once a Microsoft OS goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.

Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.

That’s actually a compact disc compared to the previous laser disc.

Yep. Same thing here. I got an update and the dark mode has changed in looks as well. I feel the green colour needs to be toned down a bit tbh.
