Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.
What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.
The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.
It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?
I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.
Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).
It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.
They will still keep them green. You know how teens react to those bubbles.
First recall, then getting rid of local accounts, and now this.
Might shift back to Linux now.
What about it’s batteries?
They are still chemical so they wouldn’t last forever.
Would love to know what type of porn is being looked at there.
No. But expect to do more work for the same pay since things are slightly easier now with AI.

For long term storage at home, HDDs are the way to go.
Honestly it was a bad call on Nokia to switch to windows. They would have been in a different place of they capitalised on their market share and switched to android.
Honestly, once a Microsoft OS goes end of life, it becomes a great offline machine to run older software and games.
Guaranteed not to be pissed around with Microsoft updates.
This would only make resumes fill up with AI gibberish.
HR would now learn to avoid large blocks of text.
That’s not the case. Usually governments and public organisations go throw a volume licensing agreements that sees them taking more than just windows. It would usually include things like windows, office, a bunch of enterprise applications, as well as support on top of it all.
Microsoft usually relies on those agreements to push software that might not be needed.
Another reason could be the video display management system they used to remotely control these screens. The software might only run on windows.
Just because they have been caught logging that info. Imagine what else is logged and is still unknown.
Honestly, using a dodgy app and running on a bad OS to begin with isn’t great. Your post is great and thanks for sharing, you just shared something not great though.
I have used an iPhone in the past and I believe anyone can get out of their walled gardens if they want to. They just need to research and work on it though.
A lot of average users won’t do that though. You can export everything if you work on it. The only issue which is iMessage, but that’s purely a US issue really. Hardly a problem in Europe where WhatsApp dominates it here.
At what point do you use tab auto refresh?
I am genuinely curious.
That’s great news. Not that I like Apple anyway with such douchy move.
I do have two questions here to be honest,
