I chose to use opensuse tw kde based on some vm tests. The installation was easy but for some reason the video playback on youtube is terrible. It stutters. First thing I did after install was to use opi to install codecs. Then I used Yast to get the Nvidia repo. Lastly, I used the software manager to install the video g06...
If it’s only on YouTube then it could be a non-chrome browser issue and/or youtube being messed up from the anti ad-blocker stuff. YouTube has been very glitchy over the past month and even so for the past couple of weeks.
We still use cable TV because of the way wi-fi is packaged. So we have a decent selection of free movies/tv that I never watched and could watch through tv. It’s the incessant ads that make me pirate the most. It’s worse than watching the same movie on a live dvr recording. Funny, since some of the movies they say are free were also just dvr recordings with the TV station logo in the corner still in tact.
Also, Netflix went away too a year or so ago because the cheapest teir made the movies/shows look like they were in 480p every time. It was unwatchable.
I was trying to give pointers to people in comments but it seems whenever I wrote uBlock Origin, “u B lock”, SponsorBlock or “S p onSor Block” (without quotes) the comment would vanish within first minute....
It’s a problem with all types of comments being flagged as spam and other things while others are not. Wouldn’t doubt this is actual erasure on YouTube’s part. Could replace some letters with emoji letters. Another is to write, copy and paste from a website that transforms the words into “aesthetic” fonts, many spam bots do this to keep their comments up.
I was trying to watch konosuba on crunchyroll and when i opened it on my brave a pop up showed up that i need to have some drm software and whetewer i allow it. i did clik allow and it didint work either way so i watched it on Firefox and there is a thing saying that this thing is drm protected....
I remembered downloading that stuff for crunchyroll to work. It has to be downloaded and activated (site permissions or something) I think, it’s been years since I used the site.
The point is probably to keep people for downloading and screen recording of copyrighted materials. Anime is not owned by the site, rather it is licensed out to be on the site. This has happened before where many titles straight up disappear because the license expired and wasn’t paid to keep it on. Crunchyroll has no authority on how copyrighted material is displayed, rather the companies probably forced it to for legal viewing. Japan copyright laws are very strict.
Honestly, if you want to watch Anime and have the ability to download it use the official gogoanime site.
Sometimes I get a crash or loading issues with NewPipe, more so on my somewhat older Samsung phone. YouTube does change how videos are accessed so the apps need to update every time that happens. When that happens the crashes and constant loading/stuttering happens a lot. You could try to clear in app cache/data or default resolution to 720p or 1080p. If it still happens then an update needs to come out.
Watched Louis Rossman today, and he’s part of the team behind a new app for watching online video content - not just youtube, but nebula, peertube, twitch and more....
Tried it out a bit. I Ike the idea of the app being basically an rss read for video platforms. This is great for not having a bunch of apps (twitch app/Xtra for twitch and YT app/Newpipe/skytube/etc. for YT.) A user profile and allowing app comments are nice to have on the app.
However, I’m worried about what Rossmann says in regards to profit and maintenance. The app is moderated/worked-on by (I think paid) professionals and we should pay a license of $9.99 yet the app is also unprofitable and may never turn a profit. So, what’s the point in paying for the app?
Rossmann has a millionaire backing up his repair business among other things. So, is some of this being funded by that person and other investors of FUTO or is our money the only thing keeping this afloat? How are these workers getting paid if it’s a one time payment and the money is uncertain? How is the platform going to stay up and pay fair wages? The app is niche and I can’t see too many people paying for a license. I also can’t see too many workers staying unless they are passionate. Something isn’t adding up unless I’m wrong.

Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments?
