I have already quit reddit, I can live without youtube.
Do Out have time to talk about our lord and savior LibreTube?
The amount of stuff I watched on YouTube was 0.
Honestly it’s about time the internet grows up a bit and stops relying on horrible video tutorials.
I’m sorry - video tutorials are so much easier for me to learn from than reading. I am 40 and have a disability. It’s far easier for me to comprehend a video than reading - and since I can’t have someone come to my home and teach or show me all the things I want to learn how to do - I watch videos.
I think the issue is corporate greed - not people wanting to watch cat videos and learn how to unclog a sink or watch someone cook something.
Why would we not use one of the most convienent ways to teach yourself skills? Thats incredibly backwards
For certain specific use cases a video tutorial can be incredibly useful… like replacing specific parts on appliances or cars after diagnosing the problem.
Much of the content there is just noise to me too but there’s definitely some shit I find valuable.
Fun fact: people use YouTube for things other than tutorials
tehe nevah. think I sent some money and got this poster. name is on there somewhere
Looks like Black Mirror was not only prediction
I never stopped using Firefox, and I never had a problem with anything but Government sites.
How many verification cans have you had to drink today sir?
OK, move along. It’s an old reference, but it’s built on solid greentext.
Those greedy bastards push people to watch ads like they expect their companies’ income will grow infinitely
I really, really don’t understand why people use Chrome, or have been using it in the past
I used it for years and just recently switched to Firefox. I was just comfortable using it, and knew how to use the dev tools. I had my extensions set up how I liked. I’m still missing a few things on Firefox but fuck chrome.
Because Firefox crashes my OS, for some odd reason.
Unless it’s a RAM filling issue, because you would have too little RAM, and even then, the entire OS crashing and not just Firefox would be very unlikely, I don’t see any reason for it to crash your entire OS. Regardless, there are Firefox forks that use much much less RAM. You’re using Windows, Mac or Linux first? Try to uninstall, clean everything and reinstall with a new profile, it may work, who knows. If not, then it has to be your OS.
I don’t think it’s a RAM issue, unless Firefox eats 16GB of RAM. I mainly use Pop!_OS, a *nix distro, so maybe I messed up some package install that conflicts with Firefox in some way, but I haven’t figured out which one.
Pop!OS is a pretty stable distro, so there shouldn’t be any dependencies problem: you usually have that on arch or arch based distros, even if it’s quite rare. Have you ever uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but without some of its dependencies? Or ignored a package it asked you to install with it afterwards? If not, maybe it’s just an update that went wrong, like the PC shut down during an update or something. So update your system, uninstall firefox and reinstall. Your data stored in your home directory (in .mozilla, a hidden folder) like your history, extensions, opened tabs, should be conserved, even if you use apt purge.
More like “you will use chromium and you will watch ads.”
Google has learned Embrace Extend Extinguish.
They’re game plan is to kill their competition in the long run.
Both YouTube and Chrome are bloatwares in my Samsung smartphone. I happily use NewPipe!
What’s going on with Chrome? Can’t find news about it
The TLDR is that Google is implementing DRM into Chrome that will cause sites to only work on validated Chromium-based browser installations and operating systems.
So…
Don’tBe evil?
I don’t know if this is widespread, but I started getting video ads on YouTube while using Chrome, despite having uBlock Origin. Firefox + uBlock Origin still works great though!
Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?
YouTube has ads and google’s new WEI api will force browsers to comply.
Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an api that will validate your browser and hardware to ensure you’re not tampering with webpages in any meaningful way.
extensions and unapproved browsers will be gutted.
Pi-hole
Doesn’t really work for youtube, as some of the ads are served from the same server as the content.
I’ll torrent YT videos before I watch ads.
I’d rather drink a verification can and do a little dance.
