I just disabled shorts in Youtube Plus, enabled sponsorblock and return YouTube dislike. Modern problems require modern solutions
PipePipe has a way to filter out shorts.
≡ --> Settings --> Content Filter --> Filter Short Videos (turn to ON)
i just blocked the entire front page of yt, I don’t remember seeing a single suggested video which i didn’t regret watching.
I go there to look something up. Usually videos on how to replace something on my car, that sort.
I don’t understand blindly sifting through videos. What’a stupid fucking waste of time.
One day we will have a peer to peer video sharing platform… One day…
If only peertube existed…
I’ve used peertube. Not a lot of good stuff on there. And I guess that’s the problem with trying to vie against YouTube – you’ll always start at zero.
I’d contribute, but I don’t make internet videos.
Chicken and egg problem. I really wish that more youtubers at least trip loaded their videos on peertube. Peertube even has an option to automatically mirror a YouTube channel effortlessly.
You can contribute differently. Archive YouTube channels or re-upload memes or video-guides.
RIP dislike button 😔
I’ve been using newpipe for a couple years now. But I guess that’s coming to an end soon
What, why?
Guy has a condition where he can only click the build number 5 times 😢
Because of this https://keepandroidopen.org/en/
You’re never gonna catch me alive! *installs custom rom*
If only custom roms was available for any phone tho. :c
Like, I had to buy new phone two years ago, cause my previous phone was falling apart (literally, I had to reglue the screen) and the only good option that was on the market without annoying notch for front-facing camera - was nubia z70. No notch, no weird “eyebrow”, nothing. Just screen, as it fucking supposed to be. Long story short, it have pretty fast snapdragon, but there no roms cause of that. Plus bootloader straight up locked from the factory and afaik, there no way to unlock it easily.
Am I safe if I don’t update Google Play Services?
That was my solution. You can freeze google services on your phone to stop the updates but then you have to choose between the functionality of many apps you got from the store and all the ones you did not.
However Google has relented by allowing provisions for a sort of “dev mode” like you have on all android phones where you just have to do some esoteric bullshit to opt back in to installing from other sources. For now, anyway. You know how they are.
Oh, right. I thought YouTube did something, but… yes, the sadness that is Google.
