“Pardon the interruption, but there appears to be a mistake in your 3 words reply. Here is a 5 paragraphs post, explaining the history of language starting from mesozoic era and extracts from 5 dictionaries on the word you just misspelled”
and then they make a separate bot for each possible mistake, so you have to block them over and over.
I don’t even understand why the bot exists? If you have newpipe or other yt apps installed, it automatically sends you there when clicking YouTube links. You can do the same within Firefox on PC.
If I could get either LibRedirect or Privacy Redirect in my Firefox based mobile browser I totally would. I’m just not 100% sure whether or not the feature from Firefox Beta allowing for using collections of desktop extensions- if the extension you want even works on mobile- has come to normal Firefox for android yet.
As far as I can tell that’s another way to link to piped.kavin.rocks aka not any instance but rather the official one, I highly doubt that will go away…
First time I’ve seen this thing. Seems a very new thing introduced recently. I only knew you could share things pointing to a specific timestamp to start the video there.
Does piped support clips at all? I guess not, cuz the bot basically just swaps YouTube.com for piped.whatever so piped is handling the /clip/… but only playing the whole video
I guess it would feel less intrusive if it weren’t four spaced out lines where most comments are one.
Regardless, even if it’s for a good cause, it is an advertisement. It’s informing users of Piped for the purpose of getting them to use it. Existing Piped users already have a convenient way to set up redirects, which have been posted several times.
I guess it seems a lot nicer to people who actually want to use the service, but to people who don’t, it’s just advertising.
I broke my brother’s exchange beta 4 install by telnetting into SMTP port and sending an email with an accidentally typo’d recipient. The bounce bounced, that bounce bounced and it continued until priv.edb was full and the service crashed. After a morning on the phone with Microsoft support he asked me if I did it. They made a hotfix for the bug.
ahh, I rember that old time I wanted to make a “your mom bot” for discord, one of the function was saying “No, your mom” when someone said in a phrase “your mom”, little did I know that discord bots read their own messages if you don’t check it
I can’t imagine anyone that concerned about privacy is so unprepared and unknowledgable online that they need the internet to cater privacy alternatives for them.
“I dOn’T wAnT mY dAtA aLL oUt ThErE!!!”
“Totally understandable. So what steps are you taking?”
The downside of being concerned about privacy is that it can be very inconvenient. I don’t think its so awful to try to minimize that, making it more accessible to people that wouldn’t otherwise bother.
