I just read about this extension today. Seems interesting. The description says It’s supposedly doing more than just switching the UA.

Yep, someone thought of porting the awesome Freetube app to Android. It’s not as polished as NewPipe, but gets the job done. Especially at this time, it’s the only one that is working, having both a local API as well as option to use Invidious API.
I pulled the apk straight from their github page via Obtainium. You may want to give it a try.
Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.
I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.
The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it’s pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.
I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.
Logically yes, downloading or a sharing a digital file is a “lost sale” - but as Aaron Swartz said - “lost sales” are also caused by Earthquakes, Libraries/DVD Rentals, Negative Yelp reviews, Market Competitors, and so on. Why just blame it on file sharing…
I don’t exactly recall when or where I heard/read this quote, but man it is dope
I hope you noticed that the key phrase in your comment is “your content”
Good luck claiming any of the content on the streaming platforms as “your”
What’s that about only getting 720p though?
Whenever I hear this argument
“Most people are not interesting enough to profile, so they don’t need this XYZ privacy tool…”
I always have this ready as a counter argument
"Only a stupid person would not care about pickpockets just because his wallet does not have much cash - a pickpocket will not ask you how much cash you have before picking your wallet, and even if your wallet turns up to be empty, the pickpocket is not going to be a gentleman and return that to you.
Tracking/profiling for Ads on the internet happen en masse; you are just one of a million data points that build a profile - it doesn’t care whether you as an individual are interesting or not".
I do exactly the same. I always opt for the earliest free prime delivery available, even for just one item in my order.
Fuck their Amazon delivery day and No rush shipping. “Delivery in fewer trips to your home” ? I have exactly zero fucks to give - I need my stuff as early as possible as my prime membership will let me, even if at 4 AM in the morning, because I am freaking paying for it.
And “green for the environment” my ass - I know they don’t care about environment, and I don’t care about the gas tank of their delivery vans.
to see if it was worthwhile.
If you are done with what you were set out to do, then sure, upgrade it if it’s free.
For torrents, a VPN might be the best bet as others have pointed out. But for direct download, just DoH should be enough.
This is how my love for uBlock Origin grows day by day…
The legendary ones show a "BREACH" at the target systems, in Red Bold Times New Roman font size 150.
Agreed. This is relatable AF.
There’s law against murder as well - what’s your point ? :-)
Ever since TV remote was invented, people don’t even lift their asses off the couch and walk over to the TV to change the channel. Unless a company adapts to changing tech landscape, they can be many things, but not a company for grown-ups.
