I love that idea, and I’d love to implement that. But I honestly can never figure out how people are working with services that enables the user to change settings (for example, to set their location to get their local weather) while still maintaining a read-only system.

With ublock origin I haven’t encountered popups for weeks. They update pretty much every day to keep on top of the YouTube changes.

The only time I really got popups was when another extention I had was making ad changing modifications to YouTube which I didn’t realize at that time.

That only works if you’re using the website. I’m in sync and just want it to open in the YouTube app.

Yeah, kde connect can control media players on your desktop and automatically pause them when a call comes in. To make it work with Firefox I do now realise it might be limited to kde desktops only though. But if you have that, all you need is to install the plasma integration extension for Firefox (which does a couple of cool things) and then kde connect can see Firefox’s media as well.

The first time it paused my YouTube video inside Firefox when a call came in on my phone, it blew my mind. And then when the call ended, it just casually resumed the video. I love it. That, the clipboard syncing and easy sharing of files between devices make it absolutely awesome to have.

Isn’t app development a recurring cost? It’s not like you just work on it for a bit and just forget about it once you got a version out. Especially if it’s using a service (lemmy) that is still in development and is constantly changing.

I get that on hot after only 5 posts. Everything after that is a minimum of 1 year old, and only the first 3-5 post are recent. It’s kinda funny reading the comments on those posts as there are a lot of lost people commenting on it right now, thinking it’s something recent.
