this works pretty well, plus there’s a purchasable content filter called vinegar on ios that does the same https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-youtube/

ive never seen an ad on youtube on my computer with ublock origin. it’s seamless, no weird delay. i wish there was a reliable way to block them on roku or my phone. last time i checked it was pretty difficult.. considered setting up a pi hole but apparently even that is not reliable blocking youtube ads

considering even staying competent at your current level as a coder requires a fair amount of effort every year due to the changing tech landscape, that poo poo infuriates me so much ime the best coders are the one that have a mix of experience with both launching and maintaining. many coders that just maintain stuff for years can end up with stagnant skills and many coders that only launch stuff don't know how to build for the long term

Best Bi Geek Squid posted:I can’t believe that the company behind android is terribly dysfunctional android is the freak success they have in that regard though, if it wasn't for them trying to monetize it by selling you out at every turn it'd be a clear-cut windows 95 of this era (e: perhaps unclear; a huge success bringing working technology to the common person, with numerous technical flaws that don't turn out to matter that much for getting the market position). and to a great extent because of the kind of doggedly compatible and incremental vision that they appear to have in literally no other circumstance.

it would be a clear win for Microsoft and an incredible self-own for Google if they choose to kill the free Drive storage. Google docs has an incredible amount of mindshare among current and future students (and customers) that comes for free with having a decent product that got a huge boost from chromebooks.

it would be wild if Google worked with Amazon to create a "Stadia to Luna" porting guide or toolkit because that would be such a big win for Amazon if that were the case but it would also save all those thousands of manhours on the original port to Stafia

YouTube premium family plans are increasing from $18 to $23. I think that’s it for me, it’ll all be Apple Music and ad blockers going forward. i was happy with the $15 I was paying so my family could avoid ads and use YouTube music but $300/year is just too much
