zhar posted:if you want to update the youtube block open ublock dashboard -> filter lists -> click little clock icon next to builtin ublock - quick fixes and click update now. Youtube has been updating anti-adblock script fairly randomly up to several times a day whereas ublock auto-update happens at regular intervals which is why it may not be adequate (if you click the eye next to a list you can see when it expires in the header, quick fixes seems to be 12 hours). If you don't get the youtube message you obviously dont need to do anything. Thx dude, didnt know where all the filter stuff was. After enabling autoupdate all the lists were like 3h old, so ok i guess. Pretty aggressive from YT, lets see how this is going to play out. IMO people should spend less time online and do more stuff outside, so not the worst development

zhar posted:if you want to force update all lists on same screen purge all caches and update. I wonder why the devs don't give a toggle to let that auto-update, given the situation. Ah well, seems to keep working after I double-update uBlock and AdNauseum. You folks only told me about AdNauseum a week ago and it says I've already blown $915 of marketing budgets.

I think people who use command line stuff regularly needs to understand that they are weirdo freaks who don't realize how poo poo command line stuff is. Well they don't need to understand that they just should shut the gently caress up and not suggest command line solutions to the majority of people when other options exist. Yep.

If you're too stupid to type "yt-dlp" and past in the link of the video you want downloaded, you don't deserve to download the thing. gently caress, I'm fairly certain that if you drag the link of a video onto the yt-dlp exe it'll just download the thing without any typing.

Arc Light posted:I stopped using iPhones about five years ago. Back then there was no useful browser-based adblock that worked on YouTube, thanks to the closed nature of the Apple ecosystem. I had Firefox mobile, but I couldn't get useful plugins. Not sure if that's changed in the intervening years. Vinegar might be the best use of three dollars i've ever spent on the app store, it strains all the extraneous youtube poo poo out and just Plays A Video File in the browser instead. never seen an ad since, and it has the added benefit of restoring picture-in-picture without needing to pay the youtube subscription if anyone here has an apple thingie you really ought to give it a look

I think realizing command line is poo poo and picking an option that is less poo poo makes me more intelligent than somebody who smugly defends their bad decision as somehow the smart thing to do. I also don't like Linux.

Is there a reliably-updated filter i can subscribe to for blocking poo poo on Facebook? I had an amazing few months lately where it was actually showing me friends' posts and updates from groups I am part of and interested in, but it's back to nothing but ads and suggested posts for stuff I don't care about again.

I used to pay for the premium lite thing that only removed ads but after one too many of my subscribed channels got hijacked by a tesla livestream crypto scam I cancelled it and switched to yt-dlp, newpipe and smarttube to get around the ads. Every time you post a comment you'll get notifications from scammers impersonating the channel posting telegram and whatsapp links too, it's maddening. And YouTube/Google isn't lifting a finger trying to stop it, so gently caress'em.

Took a week or two for this to reach me, I don't get the blocking screen but YouTube just doesn't do poo poo if I have uBlock or Ghostery on now. Enhanced YouTube for Firefox still works though, there's a button to skip and/or remove ads and it does what it says vv I already had ad-blocking turned off in Enhanced's settings, but then I turned off only Ghostery and it works again.

Ublock and enhanced fight. Turn off the blocking in enhanced and it should work again.

So does not having reliable internet make you incapable of reading/understanding my post? Seems that way. There are other downloaders that don't require command line interaction. That being said I think it's clear that if you don't have a stable internet connection it makes you less than human and it should be pointed out by all us cool broadband internet havers. Thank you Comcast for making me human!!!!!!! You're the best. I think we can all agree Comcast is a great company. Duck and Cover fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Oct 29, 2023 |

Youtube-dl is probably the backend for all the other tools you use. You'll never get a gui that covers all the options youtube-dlp has. It's a great tool and it works on pretty much every site with audio or video, it reaches far beyond youtube.

It's a great tool and it works on pretty much every site with audio or video, it reaches far beyond youtube. Why would you think anybody would give any shits what the backend is? They care about what they have to interact with. So yeah command line sucks and while you're free to use it, it's a bad thing to suggest unless you're on like a Linux forum or other options manage to be much worse. I'll follow a tutorial to do something once or rarely but knowing it involves command line stuff will make me less thrilled by the process.

Just plug the url into one of the dozen downloader sites? Standalone programs get screwed up by yt updates, too, and I always seemed to pick one that got abandoned after a year. The sites get replaced constantly. I don't care how efficient or not it is, give me a button to click... Let me navigate folders, drag and drop things even if you wanna be fancy. Command lines are just masochistic.

Ok yeah but expecting any end user to use the command line at any point is loving ludicrous. I don't care that it isn't really that hard, it's not 1993 anymore, and these amateur GitHub devs need to understand that nobody but them wants to deal with this.
