I hate these types of ads too, and they’re so common.

Also there are some ads which make the normal 5sec skippable video ads more like 30sec skippable ads. They’re usually game ads, where they show you a skippable ad after 5 seconds, then they make you play a mini-game of sorts for 10+ seconds and then it shows you a splash screen with the name of the game which you’re only able to skip after 5 seconds. Wastes so much time.

ReVanced also has the ability to remove the current BS YouTube video quality selector and restore the old resolution selector.

I’ve known about NewPipe for a long time but I’ve never really wanted to use it because of the vast amount of missing features. It might be alright for people who don’t use YouTube very often or want to preserve their privacy at all costs but I can’t use it.

I also can’t stand the official YouTube client, not necessarily because it’s so bad, but because ReVanced simply has so much more QoL features that I can’t live without now.

1. This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. India has been making education more of a business than a social right for some time now and that has claimed many lives.

2. Maybe provide a source from media organisations that are not this dramatic, actually provides context and in a language 99% of people here can understand…

3. Don’t fucking use the clickbait YouTube title. Maybe type an actually relevant title!?

But that just requires more effort and more work for the moderators. It’s better to stick with other platforms that already specialise in image hosting who will moderate their content themselves too.

I mean, sure you’re probably a good guy but I don’t think it’s a great idea to whitelist personal hosts

This might be too specific and may not suit your needs, but I used ArchiveWeb.Page to download entire webpages without any of them breaking. You can record webpages and save them as a .warc file. You can open the .warc file using the ReplayWeb.Page app. Both apps are open source and are meant to be website archivers but also works great for this purpose.

I tried using extensions that can save a webpage as HTML/PDF/whatever, but that often didn’t save everything in the webpage and the downloaded copy is pretty much fully broken and useless.

Yes

Not all apps respect this and still use its own special in-app browser

I’m not sure about the downloading part but Playnite with extensions does an amazing job of organisation.

Intelligent programming that makes the user’s experience worse

Holy shit

It’s not from a specific place. It was an old GIF I knew and I searched for it. You could search “[something] perfect loop gif” or similar in a search engine.

You can also just download any GIF and convert it into WebP using an online converter like this. Then you can set that converted WebP as your profile picture.

I heard it was released for Windows, how well does it work? I might ditch the Samsung Link to Windows app then

I’ve used it before, it doesn’t work at all even on multiple devices. But hey, that’s just me. Maybe the app has improved now.

On the default Lemmy web UI, no. But some apps aggregate an account’s votes and call them “Score”, so it does exist but not many can see it.

They exist so that your granny or mom won’t fall (or atleast be warned) for stupid scams that want you to install an “official bank app” or something to steal everything. Same deal with Play Protect. Yes, they suck for power users but atleast normies or the elderly will be warned or protected. You can still bypass them, they still give you the control. That’s better than what Apple does.
