well why not posted:Wordpress is still a thing and i would personally just buy a craftcms license. Most people who use Wordpress use a hosted version of it, where it's someone elses problem to deal with that poo poo, and that's the only way it should be used.

I use it for work (I work for a web agency) and it’s OK as long as you keep it up to date. Definitely agree that it’s best run on a specialist host though.

I had to use Wordpress in the past for a site that had a variety of article types and reviews, and it was a bloated nightmare of plugins on top of plugins that only sometimes worked like how you wanted it to. Never again.

It's not youtube tech channel but youtube game channel idiots time: Escapist just lost all of their video making capabilities after firing their head content manager, which rallied all of video making staff along with Yahtzee into a new team, leaving Escapist contentless since the event. Zero Punctuation IP is owned by escapist so maybe we will see TTS bots instead of Yahtzee in their future reviews.

what was even the reason for firing the content manager? and it seems like Yahtzee is going to use "Fully Ramblomatic" as the branding https://twitter.com/YahtzeeCroshaw/status/1722446004467941734

That was the name of his old website, and the name he used for the original pre-ZP videos on Youtube before he got signed by The Escapist.

I wouldn't call it a slam dunk until we hear european commissioners howling for blood. I think that's the only way to have youtube ads put under the scope of someone actively wanting to gently caress them over and with the means to do so.

Only a handful of people even here ever got a popup at all. I got all the way from the initial warnings to not being able to watch videos (on Firefox no less) unless I turned off the adblocker or paid. Swapping between Opera and Firefox got me through. Seems, for the moment, Ublock Origin has figured out how to beat it without having to do any manual purging/updating.

Americans just want the EU to be this superhero squad that fixes corporate fuckery. There’s no way they’re going to do anything about Google when most of the member states have basically rolled over for anything they want.

Even though I haven't been caught in the nets of youtubes adblock detection yet, the general paranoia still made me crawl through the internets underbelly that is youtube mirroring and evasion. While there are some cool alternative front-ends you can self-host (Invidious), or multitudes of downloaders, I ultimately settled for ytdl-sub. It's wrapping yt-dlp (a single-video downloader and processor) into automated Channel downloads, with plenty of filter and profile options. Now this thing checks hourly for new videos of my usual channels, downloads them in 720p, strips out the sponsor segments, drops the videos with Plex friendly metadata into my TV Show folder, and Plex picks them up and I can stream them out myself. Fun evening, let's see how this ad-war turns out.

It's just that the regulators wants an absolute bomb proof case so no yapping about any possible movement on those.

I was getting the ad blocking nag screen, so I disabled ubo on youtube a couple of weeks ago. Despite not re-enabling it, Firefox has gone back to never showing me adverts and I'm not sure why.

Seams posted:I’m still on my free month of premium so if adblockers are working again consistently that’d be swell I've never had a time when updating ublock's "quick fix" filter didn't immediately solve the problem. I'm sure there is a 20 minute window between youtube putting out a new script and the filter getting updater to zap it. I've never seen that but I don't watch youtubes constantly. And youtube seems to have dialed back the frequency that they change their poo poo. And in the worst case, open in private window gets you the "you have 3 videos left" screen you can close instead of being blocked.
