Pihole, if i understand correctly, works by blocking DNS requests and YouTube ads are not DNS based the way ads usually are. You’re stuck blocking them by uBO on each device or use Invidious.

Working minimum wage or struggling with money for any reason shall not mean you cannot have nice things in life, never. So I do the thing. Sometimes. Normalizing spending money into things you physically cannot touch is one thing i could get over with, like buying GOG (DRM free) games i’ll actually end up playing, but licenses to play a dang video game that is valid for god knows how long? This is where I draw the line.

Your friend is right: when them corpos suck us dry, we gotta suck em back. It is easy as that.

Furthermore: It’s not piracy when paying for it is not owning it.

I don’t have the disposable income for ordering or even takeaway anymore and the fees only get worse from here. Learn how to cook. Impress your visitors. Get nice things in life with the savings.

If you got Android Smart TV that allows apk install, such as a fairly cheap FireTV Lite, check out SmartTubeNext. NewPipe or Revanced for mobile. Laugh the difficult in the face if you got the time and mood to try these out :)

The future looks grim if that WEI thing comes to practice. But it’s my understanding that identifying the ‘undesired’ browser is done by fingerprinting? In that case you could just fake it by using JShelter, even fake the extensions you’re using. Not sure how they’re gonna fend Revanced if at all.

Stay strong everybody

oi mate have you heard of ViMusic?

Cheers for the reminder :) I’ve been meaning to upgrade to Silverblue because one time i managed to terminally break vanilla Fedora, it isn’t so bad when you make use of a /home partition but having to set stuff up is still bleh.

Windows updates are kind of snapshots, they replace more files than necessary and keep the old files incase the update fails or you wish to roll back x update. Besides that you’re also given new packages and features you never asked for, because Windows loves their guinea pigs and doesn’t care if something breaks because of it.

you would think that the death of hdd makes windows updates bearable and this shows. manufacturers still find a way to budget the SSD so much that you want to install Linux either way. like not too long ago i got a wd blue and it’s slower than expected. no problem with Fedora though :D
