Do Vanced et al even have Sponsorblock functionality?

It’s not that bad if you add uBlock, Sponsorblock, DeArrow and NoYoutubeShorts.

:sweat:

It’s not zero sum, but I agree that it’s going to negatively impact others.

No, Firefox with uBlock works fine!

They don’t have to, they can choose not to use the internet! /s

Yes, it would probably force microsoft to adhere to the specs if their files didn’t work more users.

That’s not easier, maybe quicker though.

More like the car changes parts around the user space. You still have the driver and baggage (files) intact inside the car.

Alternatively, you build a new car and teleport all of the inside of the car there, teleport the car to wherever the old one was and keep going from there.

This is the second phase of enshittification. They are hurting yhe businesses with this, not the consumer.

Doesn’t work. They ask you to use the camera and have you turn you head in different directions.

What’s with the watermark?

Not without internet access and Sonos cloud servers, it doesn’t…

Sponsorblock takes care of those

Not 200 %. Maybe 5-10 %. You still have to read all of it to check for mistakes, which may sometimes take longer than if you would have just written it yourself (with a good autocomplete). The times it makes a mistake you have lost time by using it.

It’s even worse when it just doesn’t work. I cannot even describe how frustrating it is to wait for an auto complete that never comes. Erase the line, try again aaaand nothing. After a few tries you opt write the code manually instead, having wasted time just fiddling with buggy software.

I can’t alt-tab at all out of fullscreen games on Wayland. My workaround is to send the game to another desktop. Annoying.

Even with KDE, Wayland isn’t ready yet. There are plenty of small annoynces for me, especially with the clipboard. Zoom doesn’t work right - screen sharing in general hangs the whole gui.

Lots of X based tools don’t have a good replacement yet. gpick, xkill, xclip, ssh -X, etc…

Try DeArrow, it will replace the thumbnail with a random snapshot and title is crowdsourced.

It’s heavily financed by Israel though.

Many news channels have free streaming options. You don’t have to watch the channels with ads, you know.
