This is probably a ridiculous question, but I usually stream from my laptop to my LG tv or my phone to any other tv, and I find that using my VPN keeps the casting output option from working. Like in Popcorntime, the Watch Now doesn’t show my tv, only the laptop app or VLC. On my daughter’s fire stick I can’t even cast to...

That’s what I’m thinking, it happened when i tried to load their streaming player for the first time which historically have pop unders on streaming websites

I got it from chocolately.

Wait why accept the permission? I don’t really want to risk it installing something I don’t notice

Perfect thanks!

Thanks! Do you know of a way to download the videos from there? I want to archive them

Same with Orion browser on ios. Ublock origin and sponsorblock work great

Arent privaxy badger cookiebro and anti Adblock killer pointless if you use ublock origin with the cookie and anti adblock lists enabled?

Do we have enough coders to collaborate on an extension like this? (merv.news)

Youtube comments are historically terrible so this Reddit comment for YouTube is a great extension to never have to read YouTube comments. I no longer use Reddit though and would love to have a similar extension using Lemmy comments that also work on piped/invidious and maybe be compatible with any website/link...

@nix@merv.news avatar

When you’re on YouTube/piped it automatically embeds the comments under the description. I think it’s obvious why that’s better than manually searching all of lemmy for each thread that has the same link

@nix@merv.news avatar

The extension is to embed reddit/lemmy comments on a youtube video

After some searching it looks like Lemmy api info is here join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/04-api.html

Someone also shared an api login script here lemmy.world/post/1179663

And a php api with some documentation as well github.com/RikudouSage/LemmyApi

Here’s the source code for the reddit for youtube extension github.com/Xyl-AU/Reddit-Comments-for-YouTube

Its not working on a project “for me” or “for nothing” its for the lemmy/fediverse community as a whole. Like every other lemmy open source extension, most clients, lemmy itself.

Hello everyone, I’m tired of having to go bavk to my search results 4 timesnbecause eveyrtime that I search for a news article every single website I get on won’t let mr read it without either subscribing/logging in, how can I hidethese websites from the results OR How do you guys look up news articles, an app or smt?...

“ iOS users: add this shortcut to your share sheet and click on it when you encounter a paywall and itll open the archive link which lets you read and share the article without a paywall icloud.com/…/ede57eb29515446ab7cd68b5a8a6e311

Or use this Praxis Browser app in the same way but it wont let you share the article apps.apple.com/us/app/…/id1598706451

Android users: this Web Archive Viewer app seems to do the same thing as the iOS shortcut but ive never used it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=web.archive…

Firefox users on any platform: this extension opens the archived version of the article and lets you read or share the article without paywalls addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/…/archive-page/

The firefox extension can be used on android and ios as well (ios users can install it with the Orion web browser) “

Does the browser work yet? Can’t find screenshots

Still sucks you will need a phone number to use it though. Hopefully they adopt meshnet type technology similar to berty.tech so people can communicate even when the internet is shut off across all platforms with end to end encryption

Tools to archive GameFAQs HTML guides?

So with the ever increasing news that GameFAQs is getting full fandom’d, I figured I would grab some of the more useful guides for when I want to play a “retro” game or just 100% a LAD. From quick research, it looks like the txt guides are more than covered but the HTML ones are still kind of in a void....

This one app to use a google service stopped you from moving away from a google operating system? Lol

nix,
@nix@merv.news avatar

This is what I use. Its open source. Loads faster than any other app ive tried. And best of all it also has really convenient features like putting reposts in a carousel, adding different slight color highlights to the background of posts depending on whether its a repost, reply or normal post. Also it has a thread counter like 2/5 so you know if a post is a part of a thread.

Little Rat - a browser extension for monitoring other extensions

"Little Rat is an open-source extension designed for network traffic monitoring. Easily view, monitor, and block traffic from other Chrome extensions on a per-extension basis."

I use it myself and I think it's a very useful extension for everyone who uses more than just few extensions for different purposes and don't fully trust them that they send no data as the developer promises, this extension can monitor the network and act as a firewall per-extension basis.

Download (Lite Version | Can't monitor requests, only block): https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/little-rat/oiopkpalpilladnibecobcecijffaflf

Source Code and full version (recommended):
https://github.com/dnakov/little-rat/

(I'm not affliate with the developer in any way and just wanted to share this)

This looks good, hopefully they make a Firefox version.

Bluesky does this.

The atProtocol has some pretty cool things. I hope ActivityPub can adopt the ability for users to invite others so closed instances can have an invite system

archive.is/oPjro :)

We should get an archive bot.

The lemmy ui does make it easy to upload a link to multiple archive sites when making a thread though
