I hate these types of ads too, and they’re so common.

Also there are some ads which make the normal 5sec skippable video ads more like 30sec skippable ads. They’re usually game ads, where they show you a skippable ad after 5 seconds, then they make you play a mini-game of sorts for 10+ seconds and then it shows you a splash screen with the name of the game which you’re only able to skip after 5 seconds. Wastes so much time.

New meme just dropped

First iPhone screenshot on the internet with above 5% charge

Overpopulation.

ReVanced also has the ability to remove the current BS YouTube video quality selector and restore the old resolution selector.

I’ve known about NewPipe for a long time but I’ve never really wanted to use it because of the vast amount of missing features. It might be alright for people who don’t use YouTube very often or want to preserve their privacy at all costs but I can’t use it.

I also can’t stand the official YouTube client, not necessarily because it’s so bad, but because ReVanced simply has so much more QoL features that I can’t live without now.

Bro got exposed by Google

1. This is not mildly infuriating. This is extremely infuriating. India has been making education more of a business than a social right for some time now and that has claimed many lives.

2. Maybe provide a source from media organisations that are not this dramatic, actually provides context and in a language 99% of people here can understand…

3. Don’t fucking use the clickbait YouTube title. Maybe type an actually relevant title!?

This might be too specific and may not suit your needs, but I used ArchiveWeb.Page to download entire webpages without any of them breaking. You can record webpages and save them as a .warc file. You can open the .warc file using the ReplayWeb.Page app. Both apps are open source and are meant to be website archivers but also works great for this purpose.

I tried using extensions that can save a webpage as HTML/PDF/whatever, but that often didn’t save everything in the webpage and the downloaded copy is pretty much fully broken and useless.

Yes

Not all apps respect this and still use its own special in-app browser

I’m not sure about the downloading part but Playnite with extensions does an amazing job of organisation.

Intelligent programming that makes the user’s experience worse

This is not mildly infuriating, this is extremely infuriating

Nougat had the best easter egg imo

You can use LADB, but it is not free unless you compile the app yourself.

You can use Bugjaeger instead, which can achieve the same thing (just a bit trickier to use). It is free on the Play Store but has ads. You can use an ad blocker in the background though, it’s not a big problem.

It seems to be an app issue. Liftoff doesn’t really seem that smooth to me either, and my phone is not a bad phone.

It honestly depends on the manufacturer. Samsung’s One UI for example doesn’t re-install uninstalled system apps. I’d guess MIUI does the same. I don’t think every update would come with an updated version of every system app that would automatically get installed.

If you just want to uninstall system apps, you do NOT need to root your phone. You can use ADB to uninstall or disable any system apps (regardless of if your phone allows that in settings).

To be clear, Kbin is not an “instance”. In fact, Kbin is not Lemmy. It’s a completely different thing than Lemmy. It’s like a mix of Lemmy and Mastodon. The image-only upload is a Lemmy limitation (not changeable by instances).
