I remember seeing this donut passed off as misinformation online where it was allegedly being distributed for free to children at Starbucks where it had Sharia law written on it.
Lmaaooo. I mean, why would that even matter anyway if they can’t read it? Do they think arabic is some sort of magical language that’ll cast a spell on their kids if they touch it?
As long as you’re using just the pihole YouTube shouldn’t be able to detect it. The playback blocker is based on detecting common ad blocker extensions in your web browser.
From my experience it’s different servers, but it might depend on your location. It’s the twitch ads that come from the same server as the video stream. Those are harder to block.
If you use a YouTube app then yes, the ads don’t seem to be able to be blocked. Browser based YouTube ads still seem to be able to be blocked by pihole
Also haven’t seen any ads all this time but not because of pihole. I’m guessing it’s because I also have DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials and Privacy Badger installed as they block requests from “googleads.g.doubleclick.net”
What I want to know about that accident is, which idiot kept spreading the lie that the search teams were hearing “banging noises” every half hour, long after the sub had imploded.
I mean, still. I associate them with the games more than anything. And that’s definetily not the kind of look i’d want out of a community that originated specifically because they DIDN’T want to just follow the herd and use what’s popular regardless of how shitty it gets.
Idk, crusading against common myths is something that’s pretty hot these days. Stuff like:
Christopher Columbus didn’t actually discover America, and he was actually kind of an asshat
Bell didn’t invent the telephone, he was simply the first to patent and subsequently litigate
"Frankenstein" is the name of the scientist, not the monster
Many modern tropes about Christian Hell stem from a 17th century political satire novel
Crusading for truth in easily verifiable matters feels very on-brand for the kind of people who use Lemmy. In that light, reclaiming a negative term that’s only negative because of a false premise to describe ourselves doesn’t sound so bad. At worst, we become a little insufferable as we have to introduce the term with a “well, ackshually”, which a lot of us would probably do anyway.
I started using ytp-dl and mpv after receiving those adblock warnings. My life is now 420% better because I stopped reading Youtube comments as a side-effect. Also, mpv is 5 billion times better player than any web browser media player can ever be.
This. I tried to self-host Piped and it was a PITA. I am experienced in self-hosting but setting it up behind a reverse proxy was next to impossible and basically no guides exist.
I did vidious, very easy. Sadly max 720p if you proxy from YouTube and if you proxy from your instance 1080p buffers like mad even on a bidirectional 1gig internet on a gaming PC style server. So back to unlock for me since a lot of my videos watched are 4k
I don’t host an instance, so I don’t know how hard it is. You can choose any popular instance like kavin.rocks if hosting doesn’t seem like a viable option.
It heavily depends on the content. While on dumb Videos there are dumb comments and on Minecraft Videos there are childish ones on the high quality of entertainment I watch only perfectly balanced comments are shown.
It’s true that they’re less “facepalm-inducing” under the smarter videos, but any entertainment video with wide enough appeal is gonna be littered with comments that will make you feel like you’re having a stroke while reading them. It usually gets worse if the channel is more family friendly, I assume because the YouTube algorithm serves it to kids a lot more.
Doing that since 2018 methinks, enjoying the gigachad life and refuse to go back to web browser streaming. Glad to see more people are becoming enlightened.
The big one is okay most of the time. The little one is basically made of zooms, so when he wakes up, it goes- jump off the bed, zoom through the house, then jump back on the bed again and repeat that until I get fed up and get up.
It means they want to shit on anyone who suggests any mechanism for social change that might actually work instead of wanking about some glorious revolution that’ll never happen. Just another way of maintaining the status quo while pretending to be a revolutionary.
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again, and also blame everyone else that you had to kill your own people for the good of the whole…
