Yesss! Closed source (not surprising let's not share the recipe with Roblox devs) and only available as flatpak but I'll take it! Thanks bru

Well that sucks.. I'm still pissed at Roblox for their DRM rug pull on Linux. Didn't stop the bots and hackers for more than two weeks anyways - bet Ryujinx 2.0 will be out soon too.

Anyone know if DRM is cracked on Roblox yet? Just a yes or no I can find it nevermind I'll go look

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 was just thinking that, a raspberry pi working as a Bluetooth peripheral and some python code would work?

"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)

It's always nice to have some motivation from doing things for others. Depending on the service, you can always host for others AND for yourself. It's 10x as much work but you do get positive feedback (sometimes..)

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

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)

 

I'll start - Tananas. It's basically the soundtrack to my early adulthood. They were the Dave Matthews band of South Africa.

 

So this just happened - those of you who have a Xiaomi phone know when you install apps it has it's own "Virus Checker" screen which comes up before the app is approved for install. This is provided by Avast I just found out..

Anyway while installing an app from F-droid today I got an error message on this screen - which said "app from unknown source" and two buttons below - "Ignore" and "Install". So I clicked on "Install" since I wanted to install the app and then noticed that the install process seemed a bit different (I can't remember what happened exactly) but I checked the app on F-Droid and the version history wasn't available - which a notice says means the app was installed from Play Store or somewhere else. But I just installed it from F-Droid!

So I tried another few apps and it happened again for one of them. I clicked around and there it was, some sort of Xiaomi app store installing versions of the app instead of the one I told my phone to install.

I guess there is an innocent explanation for this - stopping people from installing malware and giving them a "correct" version of the app they wanted - but I have disabled it on my phone, I know what I am doing and if I want the cracked version it's because that's the version I meant to install ;)

 

Unsplash has a ton of free content and a great api - so I used the hugchat api to generate search queries based on some user input text and fetched images from there.

Buggy test site (using all free api's so will break frequently, free Unsplash* api is 50 pics/h) here: http://aisitegeneration.devsoft.co.za *sorry Unsplash I haven't added the attribution for photo's yet, I will soon ok?

Thoughts on this approach vs generative AI?
