Oh shit!

This post actually made me look for a solution and I found one!
Solution to opening tiktoks without using tiktok app or site, not how to stop ur friends sending u garbage.

It made me think… mpv player can play basically any link you throw at it (thanks to yt-dlp), and we also have mpv on Android, so why can’t we do it there as well. And sure enough, I found this github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58, someone baked yt-dlp in mpv for Android, making it possible to open link in mpv (share >> play in mpv)

It works for instagram and all other shit.

I’m not the OP, but Vivaldi has been my main browser for many years now.
The reason why some people like Vivaldi is the same reason why other people dislike it. It has a lot of additional features and customization options that other browsers don’t. You may find that cool (e.g., people who used old Opera), or you may dislike it, because “I just want a browser to open web pages.”

But anyways…here are some features that I really like and I miss in other browsers:

• Highly customizable shortcuts, gestures and command chains (macros) I use mouse gestures a lot, and on Firefox I had to install an extension to get that feature. Also one tiny feature that I love in Vivaldi, that I really miss in other browsers is to switch tabs by scrolling mousewheel while the cursor is over the tab bar.
• Easy way to add custom search engines (I assume other browsers have this too, but I know that on Firefox it’s a little bit longer process to make one)
• Many ways to organize tabs (stacking, grouping, renaming tab groups…)
• Tab tiling (arranging opened webpages in a single window, good for comparing stuff or multitasking)
• Mail client and RSS feed reader (not very polished but it’s still convenient)
• Workspaces (good for separating tabs, e.g., work, shopping, entertainment…)
• Simple markdown notes (you can access them quickly from a side panel, and u can quickly add selected text from a webpage by right clicking the text and add to note)
• Customizable menus (e.g., customizing options that are presented in the right click context menu)
• Quick commands (it’s like a command palette from which you can search history, bookmarks, run commands, do simple calculations, etc.) you could in theory make your browser UI-less and just use the Quick commands.

Those are just some of my favorites but there is a lot more…And almost all of these additional features you can disable selectively if you wish to do so.

Double space (at the end of the line) = line break

Easy, regardless of the device you are using.

Does anyone know if there is an extension which would mark the video as watched on youtube without actually watching it? So that you could still take advantage of youtubes front page.

It’s possible to hover over the thumbnail and move the playhead of the mini player a few seconds before the end of the video, and that will count as if you watched the video, but it’s slow and not convenient to do.

What would it take for JXL to become supported and more widespread? Who even uses it currently?

This is how I use youtube with NewPipe while still taking the advantage of recommended page (algorithm).

A bit of a complicated setup, but it’s not that awful.

• Browser
• Open link with…
• NewPipe

I use browser to open up the youtube front page (thus taking the advantage of the recommended page) Tap and hold on the video you want to watch and in the context menu, choose Share link and then choose to share it with Open link with, which will let you choose where you want to open up the video in, then choose NewPipe.

In chrome based browsers a shortcut will appear for the most used share link option you use, which will reduce one tap. https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/638eff1d-4e9e-41c3-8b60-0b4891a29695.png

That’s kinda crazy, as it would look like a speck on the screen. I wish I could see the actual site, and see if there is something else sus about it. When I download important things like password managers, I usually try to be extra careful, double check the URL and do the hash check.

Not an expert, but it wouldn’t hurt checking if it’s a bad RAM. If you have multiple sticks, you could try using your PC with just one at a time, to check if it’s one of them dying.

As it turns out, it only happens if I open lemmy from hyperlink on my custom startpage (local file).
