I don't disagree with this point. Calling them objectively better however, is not covering the whole story imo. They are objectively better if your goal is to deproprietarize (not a real word) as much as possible. But if your goal is to just block ads as seamlessly as possible while still keeping all other features in YouTube, then those FOSS apps drop to subjectively better.
I appreciate your viewpoint, as it's a part of what makes the software development community so great. I don't necessarily agree with it, personally, since they all rely on proprietary backend (YouTube), but I truly do appreciate it.
Imagine watching YouTube. Your kid, spouse, grandparent, whatever falls and gets badly hurt. You pause the video (out of habit, instead of shutting off the TV) to tend to them. You toss the remote as you rush off the couch, the remote is lost. Instead of silence so you can hear whether they're breathing and be able to hear and talk to the emergency services dispatcher, you hear an unskippable ad. They perish, because the dispatcher couldn't hear you and get the ambulance truck to your door in time.
Imagine watching YouTube. You're alone in your house. You hear something at the window behind you. You pause the video, since it's probably nothing, to listen more intently. Instead of silence to allow you hear the burglar, you hear an ad for something you would never buy, as the burglar breaks into your house and attacks you for that sweet, sweet PS5. You perish, because you couldn't react in time.
Edge cases? Maybe. Possible? Yes. Will YouTube/google be charged with accessory to murder? I highly doubt that.
Pause ads are a very bad, and very dangerous, idea.
I wouldn't call them 'better' alternatives. They're easier to install for sure. Personally, I've used revanced, newpipe, and libretube and love them all. I stuck with newpipe, since that's what my family uses now, and it's easier to troubleshoot when I have it too. And revanced takes some steps, more than just "install this package, done".
This will be their live trial on web attestation, and they'll use it as a "see how well this works here? We can roll out to the entire web" test. Google needs to be degoogled.
Ah. I misunderstood. I thought the store answers the call. If Google answers, that could be a problem for custom roms, censorship, and privacy.
Is the Aurora store affected by this? Technically, it downloads it from Play Store, doesn't it? So it shouldn't be affected, right?
No. For two main reasons.
- it's severe and needless animal cruelty
- I don't eat shit
You misspelled 'owners'
Black tea is strong, as are fruity notes (blackberry, maybe?). The acidity of the kiwi is there somewhat, but mostly, I taste its sweetness. I'm not sure I taste the lemongrass at all, but that's not saying much, as it could just be masked by the other notes. Overall, this is a very nice roast.
OC for you.
Half asleep, I added coffee to the espresso grinder. Never has it been more clear, that grind size matters.
When you call the new sexy emergency services, but are connected with an unknown country instead, you do the next logical thing… you send an email.
Picture's not coming through. I'll try an embedded one...
Just found this sub, and I see it's not active anymore :(
Let's change that!
My OG content for your viewing pleasure
I have these wire shelves that are held together with these plastic caps. I'm reconfiguring the layout and ran out of caps. It's been a decade+/- since we got these, and I can't remember the name. Does anyone know where I can get more of these caps? Or, at least, what these caps and/or shelves are called, so I can go hunting for them?
I roasted a Sidamo G1 to right after first crack. I pulled one shot today, and it's amazing!
