As others have said, adblockers do still work on YouTube. Specifically, uBlock Origin works great on YouTube, as long as you don’t use it with any other adblockers.
Also if you’re using Chrome, stop using Chrome. uBlock Origin still works on Chrome most of the time but Google is doing their best to kill it off. Switch to Firefox.
I’ve had great luck with pine- and corn-based cat litters for low/no scent and low/no dust. Only problem is that they usually don’t clump, though they do make ones which do. Oh, and they’re all much lighter than the normal stuff. I’d say give one of those a try.
Played the Beta, thought it was… good. Better than 3 in some ways, but not up to that oppressive, almost claustrophobic ambiance in D1 that made it so damn good. That said, I loved rolling around as a Shaman Werewolf tanking everything. Was it the most effective? Nope, but I tanked Butcher twice and the World Boss and survived. Felt great.
Haven’t played the game proper on release though. Got drawn into other things actually. Am looking forward to it.
Diablo III. First time I played it was at the urging of my friend, who told me unironically, “don’t worry about the plot, the plot doesn’t matter.” Unsurprisingly my experience wasn’t particularly engaging and I lost interest, not seeing much reason to play it over any number of other games that didn’t have an always-online requirement.
Flash forward several years later. My then-girlfriend (now spouse) asked me if I’d ever played a Diablo game, and I related my experience. After she was done sputtering and emitting various noises of extreme outrage she insisted that I set things up so we could play through Diablo 1, 2, and then 3 together. I went in to D1 expecting to be similarly disappointed and instead found an incredibly dark, atmospheric, and compelling story. Oh and we did get The Butcher so I also shat myself. After that I was way hyped for 2, and by the time we hit 3 I was far more interested in playing. Loved the hell out of it, found myself not only enjoying the game but completing through the last stages of a season journey to score extra stash space and all that. Not out of obligation either, I was legitimately enjoying the grind.
Cheaper bulbs, definitely. I had a corner display cabinet I tried to switch over to using an LED bulb; the compartment for the bulb was nearly sealed and also lined with reflective materials, so the exterior got hotter to the touch than it ever did with an incandescent bulb. Damn thing started flickering and malfunctioning a few months in. Tried another LED bulb and the same thing happened only on a slightly longer time frame. Finally just gave up and went back to an incandescent bulb.
Swag. The more we show up in search, the more people will be asking “what the heck is Lemmy?” Some of 'em will join.
Well then. Here. We. Go.
Sorta-kinda: I have an old launch iPhone that I’ve held onto so I can use it as an overbuilt iPod Touch. No apps, no phone service, it just works for playing music and does it well. I don’t use it super frequently, but every so often I just wanna play some music offline without having to worry about anything else, and it does a great job.
If I went out more not in the car I’d probably get another proper MP3/DAC player. Back in the day I had a Sansa Clip I bought as an impulse Black Friday purchase and that thing was absolute fire. Small, great battery life, showed up in Windows as a standard external storage device, even had an FM tuner built in. Only downside was that it only had 2gigs of storage, but that just made me be a bit more choosy with what I put on it. If the damn thing hadn’t wound up going through the wash on accident I might still be using it to this day.
Ahh yes, the Perfect One-Pot, Six-Pan, 10-Wok, 25-Baking Sheet Dinner.
It’s fair (from a personal taste standpoint) to say BBT isn’t funny; it’s not fair to say it’s inaccurate. Damn if the higher sciences and a bunch of academia aren’t rife with people like that.
Personally I find it amusing all the same, but I get why my Mother the PHD finds it mostly tedious.
Nope! Worst case the stream quality gets a little lower (some plugins pull from the overlay video that appears at the bottom right) but you don’t miss out on the stream at all.
Job security right there.
If it was a few bucks a month, sure. $14 a month? LOL no. Google’s one of the richest companies in the world, they don’t need the money, much less that much money. It’s just greed, pure and simple.
As others have said, Twitch adblocking still works just fine. There are multiple plugins which block their ads, and you can even paste in a few custom filters to uBlock Origin and bypass them.
In other words, it’s not inevitable.
Think of it this way: YouTube has to pay people to work on anti-adblocking tech, whereas pissed off nerds with a permanent “fuck you I do what I want” energy will figure out how to defeat those measures for free.
Good news! Apparently there’s a way to build Invidious for Podman, though it’s not exactly straightforward. That said, there’s an open issue to add official documentation for how to do it, so maybe that’ll get done. Eventually.
If you’re not afraid of Docker you can even spin up your own instance of Invidious. You won’t get much in the way of recommendations, but you won’t have to worry about the site going down.
Be the frontend you want to see in the world.
Ahh gotcha. So this is the start of the fork. Interesting.
Well I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on it. Think I’ll make an account over on your side too just to keep up with my basic plan of diversification. That way whichever one winds up becoming the superior product, I’ll already be established there.
EDIT: Oh snap, mbin already has an option to put the reply bar at the top. That opens up the option for expanding infinite scroll to comments as well, which has been one of my major gripes about kbin.
EDITx2: Oh and it has 2fa support. Well damn, that’s significant. Huge even.
Huh, got me intrigued, gotta say. Any significant differences between mbin and kbin you can point out? I know for me in kbin the Mastodon interactivity doesn’t work the best, and finding the context of replies in threads doesn’t work when it goes to multi-page.
Agh, right, so you are.
Larger point still stands though.
