So, nothing to be excited about.

I'll leave...

So they're shorting you 25 minutes on the promised 30 minutes of uninterrupted adverts. Wankers!

Only 5 minutes of uninterrupted adverts? They said 30 minutes. Liars.

Furiphone flx1 looks promising

So you exclusively want ai. Got it.

-Microsoft, probably

I remember when OLED was that extensive...

I had that problem. I changed my ua to Edge on Windows, and the message went away. Everything worked.

Who Has the Right to Decide What Happens on Indigenous Lands?

...the indigenous people.... I don't this that's so outlandish to logical, non-capitalism blinded people, but, judging from the article, that's not common.

And while that's possible for now, it won't be for much longer, based on the A/B testing yt has been doing. We're giving them too much power and relying on tools to bypass the stuff we don't like, but those tools have their days numbered, regrettably.

"we noticed you uninstall Recall. Probably just an accident. We reinstalled it in an unremovable way and enabled it for you. You're welcome!"

Before being an accessibility product, the tech has to prove itself. I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig for a product that could, if malfunctions, trap me in my jacket. But, yes, once proven, this would be an amazing application of the tech.

Yes we can. Third party front ends exist for yt and there are other (admittedly not as polished) alternatives for the entire platform. When enough viewers use them, it will force the hands of the posters to use other, less abusive avenues (maybe in addition to yt). I'm fine with monetization, but not when it degrades my experience. There are better ways. Yt isn't the only one, nor is it the first. It's just the most popular currently.

You're not wrong. But it won't happen because of this change, and it's not going to happen tomorrow. So, as of now, they're just complaining. I say 'they', because I left yt when they started video ads. I didn't mind the banners, but the unskippable video disruptions were what broke my camel's back (some of the early ones, if you recall, controlled your volume levels and turned themselves up). You're right, eventually, everyone will hit a breaking point, but if the 60-120s unskippable video ads weren't that point, this simple UI change won't be that for the vast majority of users.

Looks like they just adopted material you design. It's a 'whatever' change for me.

And you think people will do anything more than just bitch about it? Noooopppppeeeee

Only when you pirate over $1 trillion in a calendar year, so we're fine. Facebook, maybe not so much...

This made my day!

Edit: also, this is from 17-APR, and it's the first I'm seeing this. I wish I could say I've been under a rock, but I was literally looking for, and reading, multiple articles on this near daily, and missed this...
