YouTube is experimenting with server-side ads
  • I think Peertube will get the ads injected into the video too. No circumventing it unless you can pretend to be an authenticated premium user.

  • Had this when I was posting using Sync, had to embarrassingly delete 3 duplicate posts.

  • Why Everyone Should Still Use an RSS Reader in 2024
  • Oh lol. I wonder how that's going - especially when they had to drop their enhanced feeds for Twitter.

  • This might be useful for their community posts - is there a seperate feed for them or are they included in the videos feed?

    I never see the community posts anywhere except for the home page & on the creator's page. Which makes it frustrating because I only stay in the subscriptions page - so I only get updates if they upload a video.

  • Log into discord, copy the documentation and create a PR with it. (Or make a wiki?)

  • Larry was paid $4.20 an hour in Australia. It’s not enough to live on – but it’s completely legal
  • If they're adjusted down for productivity, what's the standard productivity when everyone's productivity is the same in an ADE? Completely absurd.

  • I want to set up a selfhosted RSS reader but feel a bit lost
  • I think this'd help massively by explaining the components to RSS.

    As for instagram or the other sites that do not have RSS, you could choose to self host your own RSS generator, such as RSS-Bridge or RSSHub.

    With self hosted though, you could even customise those feed generators and customise your own feeds.

  • Hell yeah!

    I have one that has a retractable mouthpiece that slides out when you twist the bottom. It's great for portability, but the mouthpiece is very small as a downside.

  • Yep, lots of "no, but..." alternatives to choose from to prove a secondary and more preferred outlet.

    Does anyone feel like the Kensington Expert is uncomfortable to use?

    lemmy.zip Does anyone else think the Kensington Expert is too big? - Lemmy.zip

    I am a regular user of the Logitech MX Ergo, and regularly using an OSK with system wide mouse gestures (StrokesPlus). So, I do quite a bit of dragging and clicking. Even using the OSK when I can’t be bothered to reach for the keyboard. I have noticed in some moments after extensive use of the mouse...

    Does anyone else think the Kensington Expert is too big?

    I am a regular user of the Logitech MX Ergo, and regularly using an OSK with system wide mouse gestures (StrokesPlus). So, I do quite a bit of dragging and clicking. Even using the OSK when I can't be bothered to reach for the keyboard.

    I have noticed in some moments after extensive use of the mouse, I feel cramping in the general area of where the palm and knuckles meet. The tension is short lived, as soon as I take my hand off of the mouse and let it rest for a moment. Using the different angles of the mouse while experiencing the tightness doesn't relieve it.

    So I decided to try the Kensington Expert, to see if I can use it with my hands splayed out. Aand I'm not liking it. It's difficult to position the mouse easily to use the OSK, and to hold the buttons down to perform a mouse gesture.

    Not sure how people use this comfortably. I find that I am reaching out and pecking at the buttons while I am resting the rest of my fingers on the trackball. Is it perhaps my hands are too small for it?

    What are other people's experiences with the Kensington Expert?

    I'll have to sell it on FB marketplace as I bought it online and can't be bothered to return for a fee. No physical stores near me stocked this. For now, it'll be back to the MX Ergo, but maybe I need something vertical with a trackball on top. It looks like Kensington also has their Pro Fit Ergo Vertical mouse, but I'm unsure of it.

    Any way to change the Google assistant trigger?

    So my sister bought a Google Home pod for her use in her bedroom, but it picks up my voice whenever I ask Google Assistant on my phone to play my podcast.

    I've discussed this with her, and she won't budge from not using the Home pod as she will consider it a waste of her purchase. I use the google assistant on my phone when I am busy and can not use the phone without breaking my rhythm.

    So, as a workaround, I'm looking to change the Google assistant trigger on my phone to my sister's name, or at the very least, to another trigger that will only trigger the google assistant on my phone, and not her Home pod.

    Any guidance?

    BIFL reclining chairs?

    I would assume these aren't really made for BIFL as they generally... take on the user's essence the more they sit on them.

    Easy to clean reclining chairs?

    Thinking of getting a reclining chair for computer use, so I will be sitting (and maybe sleeping) in it for long periods of time.

    Is there any tips on choosing a reclining chair that will be easy to clean or maintain? I am handy so I don't mind being able to strip off the lining or a bit of disassembly to deep clean it.
