YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

  • The more Google keeps going down this path as they inevitably always would, the more viscerally I will fight against it.

  • I would disagree and say that Pichai is a visionary, in turning Google into a monopolistic dystopian megacorporation.

    • Just install EndeavorOS lol

    • Youtube has started to artificially slow down video load times if you use Firefox

    Jump

  • I am not spoofing my user agent and I'm going to continue using FOSS front-ends to access YouTube until an alternative takes off. Fuck you Google.

    • Why? Are we not doing enough?

    Jump

  • Lemmy v0.19 will have this feature

    • Google CEO Pichai advises Android users not to sideload apps

    • Does anyone still use RSS and if so what are you subscribed to?

    Jump

  • RSS is amazing. Recently started using it with the Nextcloud News app. Turns out I've really been missing out on the possibilities.

    • Microsoft may replace the Start button with the Copilot AI in Windows 12

  • All the "X company may/could/might" and "X plans on this" news feel like they're just feeling for a reaction from the public to see what they can and can't get away with. If it gets too much push back, they just put it on the shelf and boil the frogs for longer before trying again, like with Google and WEI. It's tiring. Stop being evil you corpo fucks.

    • What’s something on your mind lately that nobody else would understand?

    Jump

  • How it feels to never have had anyone in my life that I could just randomly call up and talk about happy and sad things with.

    • Translate You: Android Privacy-Focused Translator App

    Jump

  • I enjoy using this with my own LibreTranslate instance

    • Do you trust Proton?

    Jump

  • Based on my own privacy/security criteria, I chose and payed for protonmail when that was the only thing Proton had. I've been very happy with them and it's nice to see how much they've since popped off.

    • YouTube isn't happy you're using ad blockers — and it's doing something about it

    Jump

  • I already only use FOSS front ends to access YouTube. If content existed elsewhere like Peertube or Odysee I wouldn't be using YouTube at all.

    • Best lemmy client for android

    Jump

  • Jeroba because it's dev made and it was like the only one when I got on Lemmy. And it's actually good. Recently started using Eternity as well because I was using Infinity as my main client for reddit.
