A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I wish this content were also being uploaded to a service like PeerTube or Nebula.

YouTube now assails me with lengthy commercials if I don't remain perched on the skip button.

Ublock and Sponsorblock make YouTube bearable.

If you're on mobile, use tubular - it has AdBlock as well as Sponsorblock integrated.

☝️this

Other options on mobile:

  • using a firefow-based browser (like Fennec on F-droid) on which you can install Ublock Origin
  • also on the F-droid store, newpipe handles youtube shit gracefully

For anyone not in the know, F-droid is an alternative app store for android where all applications are opensource, verified and don't track you.
You can download it from their website (be warned: android is likely to ask you a half a dozen times if you're sure you want to download, install and give it permissions), install it and explore a great new world :)
