Honestly not sure. There are other such third party YouTube players, I’d suggest searching around for newpipe alternatives and I bet one of them will suit your needs

Newpipe?

I don’t think it’s a false alarm, in the sense that it is totally reasonable to be alarmed. They are cutting crucial stuff before they know what it is. There are a lot of things being cut where we’re only going to understand the impact years from now.

I used to use old phones (Nexus 6P, Galaxy Nexus, Moto X) as security cameras, stopped for exactly this reason. They all got really warm, even with the screen off, and I was uneasy about it. IIRC my Gnex removable battery started expanding a bit! That’s when I stopped using them for it.

I’m not sure how many ads on different sites are sketchy. I don’t feel like finding out, that’s why I block it. There have been plenty of reasons that all sorts of illegal stuff gets inserted on well-meaning sites, so it seems like it’s inviting all sorts of trouble to automatically click stuff without consideration.

Just curious- if ads are for something illegal, couldn’t this expose me to liability for theoretically “clicking” it from my IP/device? And if ads are for something unsavory ( like a “chat with local cougars” site or something similar), wouldn’t they start to deliver me more such ads, thinking, wow this IP is the only one clicking every sex chat ad, send them more!

I didn’t attempt to import my onenote notes to Joplin, since they were old class notes and handwritten, which Joplin doesn’t handle that well yet (though they do have a new drawing capability). Googling around, it looked like there are some tools, and some that they’re actively working on https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/onenote-importer/37720/7

It’s a great open source note app! I’ve been using it a couple years and like it a lot

I loved OneNote as a student. It still is pretty unmatched if you want to take pen enabled notes IMO. I would download lecture slides and annotate them, also recording the prof. So I could highlight my annotations later and see what the professor said! Pretty slick and haven’t found anything comparable since. But I don’t need this kind of use case as much anymore and have moved to Joplin

Oh boy, I shared the spacebar news article a year ago or so and was hit by a shitstorm of indignant comments.

I have offered logins to a couple family and they just say hmm, never heard of it, sounds illegal and don’t use it lol

Yes, it took me a long time to figure it out. Which is why Plex feels comfortable charging for it

Yes, it does introduce insecurity, so not for everyone. I have it behind a domain on cloudflare (let’s encrypt cert) with nginx reverse proxy

I just confirmed it has it. You need to be on the same subnet, which is why VPN won’t work. But then everything shows up as castable

It is enshittification for sure. At the core it makes sense to not have it free, since dynamic DNS is not free. However it is a very small cost

IIRC it has it. Not if you’re behind VPN or a tunnel. Only over HTTPS.

I use an Nividia shield that I’ve had for about 5 years. Have an alternate ad free launcher enabled. Still works really well. I use it mostly with Kodi streaming from SMB, some Jellyfin though I have Jellyfin hosted on a Pi4 so video quality is somewhat lacking. The 4k upscaling still works very well and is somewhat unique among streaming boxes

Journalists need to be paid. Ad revenue is in freefall, and it never really supported long form content that doesn’t endorse a product. If you want real news, it has to be paid for somehow.
