  Dang I already watched it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Emilia is asking real questions!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks

  Which anime is this from?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So AdGuard works on the YouTube website. I haven’t been there for some time - I use 2 other methods to watch YouTube ad-free.

  1. Newpipe - Android app that works by parsing the website, will probably be affected?
  2. YouTube Kodi add-on - works with Google YouTube API, I was wondering when this loophole is going to be plugged…

  Anyone with knowledge of the matter care to comment? So far my YouTube watching is still ad-free.

  I also run pi-hole in front of my WiFi. Nothing gets through. Or will it?

  I noticed some podcasts these days have random server injected ads - usually the same ad repeated 2 or 3 times, is this going to be my video stream soon?

  I had to be burned twice before learning this lesson - instances went down and I had to switch.

  Try pipepipe on f-droid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pipepipe on f-droid is kept much more up to date in my experience. It’s a fork so basically the same

  As a former Android developer, you can’t just do anything in an android app on a modern smartphone. The system is fighting you for resources the whole time. It makes sense to have something like this running as root on a device that you control.

  Not that I’m sold on it, just saying…

  Fun meme but corporate job listings in my town contradict the premise.

  Let them C# I’m sticking to C++ and Python.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you ever felt a imaginary switch click that changed the trajectory of your life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was about 19, a magician friend told me I was good enough at juggling to do busking but I was too shy. Decided to give it a go anyway and remember shaking so hard while lighting the fire torches I was using. Made R30 ($2) so not a lot but I did it. I remember thinking to myself, “I’ll never have to work again!”

  That was over 20 years ago, and since then - with the exception of that stupid pandemic we had recently - I have made a decent living as a circus performer and magician.

  I won’t tell you it wasn’t a bumpy ride at first, but that first show was the turning point for me I will never forget.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it take for you to move away from Github?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know if anyone remembers but private repo’s used to be restricted on GitHub, so I actually use BitBucket for most of my private stuff.

  Feels like it wouldn’t take much change for me to leave with my own stuff although some presence would always be necessary due to contributions. I don’t use any of the “features” of GH though, except for pages and that’s for work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If there is one thing you can change about Lemmy, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we do this after they shut down their server please

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same experience here! It’s the mods not us

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Hopefully this instance doesn’t go down like the last ones.
