Definitely, unless the original source was very inefficiently compressed, it's not worth the time, effort and quality loss to save a small amount of space.

I have Bitwarden, RES and uBlock Origin, plus Enhancer for Youtube.

My fix was

1. disable "Block Ads" in Enhancer for Youtube
2. add this to uBlock under "My Filters":

youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false)
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0)
youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, [])
youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true)

  

Yup and, as the article states, electric cars are even worse.

tep snails = two snails?

KKR?

As a user, I don't want to share my downloaded images if people can use that to datamine my Lemmy browsing, so I wouldn't use it.

Yes, instances could do the bulk of the sharing, but then that's just downloading and rehosting images with extra steps.

Something like Veilid would be more interesting.

Firefox + uBlock is my suggestion too, it makes mobile browsing bearable.

Thanks for asking this, one of the devs in the AMA was talking about Bittorrent for sharing the serving of instance-hosted files in a way that made me think "sounds like you want IPFS". Now I'm not so sure.

That seems to be a pretty serious set of problems.

I was going to point out the ⭐ bookmark feature, but I see you're on kbin - I guess they don't have that feature?

I'd never heard of grassy tramlines, I love them! I've never seen any anywhere, and I've been all over Europe, they are either quite rare, or I haven't been paying attention.

Is that the right URL? First it's blocked by uBlock and then when I get through it's an error page.
