Boilerplate code (the stuff you usually have to copy anyway from GitHub) and summarising long boring articles. That’s the use case for me. Other than that I agree - and having done AI service agent coding myself for fun I can seriously say that I would not trust it to run a business service without a human in the loop

I ran it on my dual core celeron and… just kidding try the mini llama 1B. I’m in the same boat with Ryzen 5000 something cpu

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?

“not available in your country” is easily fixed, just turn on your vpn

PipePipe from f-droid is a clone that seems to update more frequently than newpipe, and has the additional benefit of being able to access the Chinese and Japanese video sites bilibili and niconico (worth checking out, it’s fascinating even for someone who doesn’t speak the languages)

Try pipepipe on f-droid

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

I can’t help it, whenever I see twins I say “Oh, Deja voux” out loud

Yeah the Roblox thing is hard to swallow, it used to work better on Linux than on any other platform for me. Everything else there’s alternatives - my local PC shop sells machines at a significant discount “without windows installed”, maybe if more did that the market would take care of things and the software vendors would have to support Linux.

My own ads, just to make sure they still work (for the 40% who still don’t block ads)

As a professional juggler practised early on to do things with either hand - whether it’s washing dishes or putting a key in the door… just paying attention to how you do things. Now can take juggle 3 balls in either hand

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…

Then I think the actual answer is there are none. Although PipePipe can access PeerTube? Also BiliBili and NicoNico. BiliBili is possibly larger than YouTube but of course it’s all in Chinese!

I mostly use PipePipe on android, from f-droid store. It’s basically New pipe but more reliable and can also view Chinese and Japanese video platforms

On desktop Freetube can’t be beat

The apipocalypse same as everyone else. I do miss my niche communities, and my 4000+ internet points, but as an open source enthusiast (I use arch btw) I’m very much at home here 😁

I heard about the avast thing, but how are isp’s modifying web pages, that shouldn’t be possible with with https, right?

That’s the plan.

Thanks, I’m going to look at a rom soon, it’s my main device though and I don’t have a good track record when it comes to not bricking phones 🤣

Also there is the bit about unlocking the bootloader, I heard it’s not straightforward.

Yeah I’m going with they’re innocent. Just the UI with the install button and no explanation is not cool.
