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....
On iOS, I’ve discovered that I can uninstall the YT app, set Firefox Focus as my default browser, and then use PocketTube linked to my YT account to open a group playlist, and it plays in FF Focus without ads… so far.
I downloaded a “Linux ISO” which came as a series of *.opus files. My iPhone doesn’t recognize them, so I was wondering if you guys might recommend a program to convert them to *.mp3 files....
Can probably use Audacity. May need to install a ffmpeg plugin first to read the opus files, then:
goto Tools > Apply Macro > Palette…
select “MP3 Conversion”
then click “Files…” to choose your files and it should start a batch process.
Before that, probably go to Edit > Preferences > Directories and change the entry for “Macro output” to a custom folder so it’s easy to find. (note: the instructions on that settings page says to leave a field blank to use the last directory, but that’s not the case for macro output, definitely set a custom location for that.)
edit: also a good method for converting FLAC if there’s a need for it
I know the “best linux for gaming” is probably one of the most common questions, but I have heard that some distro can have issues with some hardware, I have a crappy old PC with an integrated radeon R7, which distro would you recommend?
Absolutely, this thing has been sitting around for ages because it was barely powerful enough for WindowsXP when it first came out. Now has a new purpose!
I remember shortly after college I was living with a couple of people and one day we all heard “NOOOOOOOOOO!” and went running to see what tragedy happened. He had started formatting the one porn drive he had been collecting on over the last few years.

edit: Nvm previous result, I got the same result OP did with Firefox and Safari, I realized I was testing on my wifi with a pihole… switched to mobile network only and protection dropped to partial.
edit2: but Firefox Focus still has strong protection:
I’ve got some idiot or a group of them following me around now making brand new accounts and single comments per account that say things that end with “not my problem” and downvoting everything, which is amusing because I’m on a server with downvotes disabled. All because I dismissed their complaints about this youtuber LOL
No idea, wondering the same thing myself. I can see most via a regular browser while not logged in, but it’s obvious some are missing. It’s possible the commenter I replied to deleted their comments, got banned, or something, and for whatever reason replies to those are also not visible in apps. There’s a comment asking if someone else knows their account was marked as a bot, maybe that has something to do with it.
Does YouTube block mentions of uBlock Origin or Sponsorblock in comments?

If you’re over on mastodon it would help if you could submit an answer to my poll over which Linux distro I will hopefully settle on...
