This is the way.
Zen’s UI is great, and it has better defaults for privacy than Firefox does, as well as having its own mods repository on top of all the standard Firefox webextensions. (Try “better find bar”, “floating history” and “floating status bar” if you haven’t already, they make the last few bits of the UI look consistent)
I’ve had a pipeline in mind for exactly this purpose that I want to build when I get around to it:
In theory, this should be able to remove ad and sponsor sections of any length completely automatically and there’s nothing to stop it working on videos too
Every user has to self host their own?
Did… Did you see what community you’re in?
Ooh, that is neat! I’ve been using Lemmy for months and didn’t know this was a thing. You’re my first tracked upvote now :)
Ooh, thanks for pointing that out. The image was uploaded in November 2021 so it’s older than I realised
It’s WSL, I think the logo is relatively new though or maybe not official idk
I’ve found Android TV to be the most usable TV OS tbh. I use Konstakang’s LineageOS Android TV 15 image on a Pi 5 which is source available (non commercial only licence). And Projectivy Launcher (closed source but is by an indie dev and better than the stock Google one). The Pi is CEC compatible so I can control it with my TV remote no problem, and I use Moonlight to stream games from my PC.
If you already have hardware, there may be an Android x86 TV release somewhere but I haven’t personally tested any, and you have to make sure the apps you want support x86 (all the open source ones like Jellyfin should)
Edit to add: I also personally haven’t found a need to install GApps as all the apps I use are either open source, or were made to work also on FireTV so don’t rely on GApps APIs. (Use SmartTube instead of YouTube, it’s a better experience anyway)
Is that a really young Brodie Robertson on the right??
I built a near identical server for my parents and just sync my nextcloud folder to theirs using syncthing
Use your browser’s reader mode - it should strip out anything like that and let you read it as pretty much just raw text
Remember back in school there would always be that one kid who was able to get the teacher talking and going off topic so the class had to do less work?
Basically learn to do that in your interviews. If you’re lucky enough to know the name of your interviewer beforehand, stalk their LinkedIn and try and find something they’re interested in. People love talking about themselves. If you can manage to get your interviewer rambling about something they like, they will come away feeling it was a good interview, and you’ll probably learn a hell of a lot more about what the job is actually like on a day to day basis.
I’ve found that the smaller the company, the higher the success rate doing something like this. Larger companies tend to have a more rigid interview structure or have multiple interviewers at once.
ReVanced mods the official YouTube apk, meaning you maintain syncing watch history, subscriptions, likes, comments etc. Which iirc NewPipe doesn’t. Whether you care about that is entirely up to you though, NewPipe is certainly better if you care more about privacy
Honestly, good for you. I switched about a year and a half ago after using Windows literally all my life (well, from when I was 5 years old in primary school anyway).
Never looking back. I now know what a good PC experience is like. One that doesn’t bombard you with ads for its own browser and requests to track you every time it stops in the middle of what you were doing to force an update that only makes your experience worse.
I personally use Nobara on my main PC and OpenSuse on my laptop, but whatever you go with, I wish you a good time. (And know that if you don’t, there’s always a distro out there that will fit your usage better!)
Google Play is so full of shit they could pivot to being a sewage plant
