I absolutely hate this stuff. My family doesn't live in the same house, but it doesn't mean we are not a family. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law just message us for the passwords when they want to stream something. None of us pay for youtube premium and it looks like I won't be.

I guess we going back to blocking ads

Requires just about the latest iOS (18.6)

Also - Apple seems to be hiding it from search results on the App Store even though I found it a week ago!

Good for you! I hope you find a good job soon.

In the meantime, I recommend doing some exercise because that's something you can completely control your progress on. If you don't have a gym membership, body weight workouts are absolutely a thing you should check out.

It's pretty fantastic! In the past, you could share a library, and playing any game from that library would lock the entire library so others couldn't use it at the same time. Today, that is loosened up and is much nicer to use.

Yup, it's always tracking...

i never stopped, fuck these vultures - idc how many fake ass american dream-pilled carrots they wave in our faces. always fuck them.

That old days when Google was cool and not evil.

Yea. I mean, I pay for it right now because it’s easy and works on all my stuff but frankly they’re really making me weigh how much convenience really matters. This kinda behaviour’s pretty garbo.

That sounds complicated for my stepdad, he has brain damage and is not tech savvy at all

That was my reminder to update my system. Thanks!

I’ll test out Safari + uBO for a bit and see if I prefer it. Do you have any sites you can check for how good your adblocker is? I used to use one but that was ages ago, I don’t remember the name anymore.

Amazon is doing the exact same thing. Just got an email today that they're shutting down the family Prime sharing thing. Had that for ten years now.

For those select few that have an iPhone

You have a few options:

• be EU citizen and sideload a cracked YouTube (similar to vanced, but you need certificates on iOS which sucks)
• pay for a dev account and sideload regardless of above
• buy two apps: vinegar and AdGuard. AdGuard speaks for itself, vinegar is a tool that forces YouTube to use the html 5 player inside of safari and thus forcing it to your will

I know iPhones are hated here, but I saw the android will stop sideloading coming from a mile away. At least here in the eu apple can suck one and I can still sideload whatever I want

NewPipe does this for free

Most certainly off-topic, but I have found other cool workarounds for apps.

For instance, if you open 2 windows of, say, PowerPoint (1 you want to use, the other you must close after; read below). Then, go to the one you don't want to use (or at least one you use for this method), and wait for the no account/Office not bought/whatever pop up; in any case, do NOT close the pop up. Open the other PowerPoint, and then close the former. If done right, you'll be pleasantly surprised that it works perfectly! After that, you can open any additional ppt files. Do note that, after you close PowerPoint entirely, you gotta do this all over again.

you need certificates on iOS which suck

??

I got certificates

Sponsorblock works perfectly fine on Firefox Mobile

Not in my case. I watch one vid per year or so, and I block everything google. They don't know jack.

Top web search results for “adblock test”—the top two, both, are usually good to both run (though I’ve never been too scientific about it)! One tries to show ads for your review, the other gives a % blocked.
