For a long time my pihole was able to do it with some regex entries, but Google was pretty persistent about not letting that work, so for Android I just started doing Revanced.

Like you said, the web browser still blocks fine.

If that’s all you need, I’d probably just start using Tubi, Pluto, and Plex. Pluto and Plex have some good live channels (Tubi might also, haven’t checked). Tubi and Plex have a decent catalogue of on demand shows and movies. Of course if you already have Netflix, it might be hard if there’s a specific show they’re used to.

Nissan! Shoot, I did it wrong…

Manalith ,

Since we’re all throwing out DNS options, I’ll toss in NextDNS

Manalith ,

Not incorrect. Makes them sound way too cool, however.

Manalith ,

Presumably the ones that know how much MS gets for selling data.

Manalith ,

I hate the ones that are listed as remote, but when you read deeper it says remote - in x location, if there was a way to filter those out of searches, it would be convenient.

Manalith ,

Whenever I need a new profile picture for my TTRPG character, absolutely. Anything else? No thanks.

Manalith ,

It’s excessive now, but once it works, I’d much rather subscribe to drivethru AI than pay an acceptable living wage to some human. /s

The Curious Case Of The Underselling Arena Tours (www.stereogum.com)

“Who can afford to go to multiple shows?” says the anonymous tour manager. “Two tickets to a show, you’re talking probably about $200 with fees and everything. You go to a meal around the show, you’re talking at least $100 or $200 for a nice dinner. Then you got parking and babysitters, then you add the VIP stuff to...

Manalith ,

That still seems like a lot. Went to A Day To Remember last week for $25 and at the very least, I’d argue they’re less niche than Sleep Token. Godsmack will be around later this year for around $100.

Dark Sun is a fantastic album.

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again (www.engadget.com)

Spotify is officially raising its Premium subscription rates in the US come July, following reports of the move in April. The platform is increasing its Individual plan from $11 to $12 monthly and its Duo plan from $15 to $17 monthly — the same jump as last year’s $1 and $2 price hikes, respectively. However, its Family plan...

Manalith ,

Any particular reason you went from Tidal to Apple Music? I see a lot of people here recommending it, so I’d be interested to hear any negatives it has.

Manalith ,

I have used Spotify’s 15 free hours a month for shorter light novels, but beyond that, buying the rights to listen to a book, or buying more listening hours is very much not worth it through them.

If Spongebob has taught me anything, it’s that that won’t work.

Personally I’d prefer a flip with a smaller screen than a mm slimmer phone.

I think the feather was Yankee Doodle not Yankovic

Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in South Dakota public university employee emails (apnews.com)

A new South Dakota policy to stop the use of gender pronouns by public university faculty and staff in official correspondence is also keeping Native American employees from listing their tribal affiliations in a state with a long and violent history of conflict with tribes....

Manalith ,

I was gonna say, for public universities that sounds like a violation of the first amendment, but I could be wrong.

Manalith ,

Followed up by the fourth movie, Hard and Harder

Manalith ,

I went to StartPage personally.

Manalith ,

Did I know what each link was before clicking? Yes. Did I click each just to make sure? Also yes.

Manalith ,

The phone app has it’s problems at times, things like resetting to the main page, and other little nuisances, but I really like Nebula, went so far as to pay for their lifetime deal.

Manalith ,

I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.

What Spotify to YouTube MP3 downloader for Android do you recommend?

I was using Spotiflyer for a while because it worked well and was available through F-Droid but it seems like the creator has moved on to an app called SoundBound that I haven’t seen in the megathread or any of the other sites listed in the Other Treasures section....

Manalith ,

Spotube uses m4a as a format and doesn’t always get it right as it basically just searches the song on YouTube

Manalith ,

Still on the fence here is the g pronounced like in GIF?

Manalith ,

Personally still think 2 was the overall best, there were a lot of mechanics I wish made it to legion

Manalith ,

I’m sure it’s been done, but your explanation of a chimera person sounds like a great idea for some kind of detective novel or something.

Manalith ,

Not sure what standard price of each is but the combo is like $11 with ads and $21 without.

Manalith ,

I use a combination of NextDNS and PiHole to block them out, at least on my TV box. Haven’t verified on my phone. So it’s effectively the ad free tier, but sometimes takes some readjusting

Manalith ,

Most of the WISP systems I work with max out at 30 Mbps, but it’s also older tech. In Rochester though there really are better options so that’s kinda insane that any one would be using that, it isn’t typicalky cheaper than cable at the very least.

Manalith ,

Are you referring to the foundation president Mark Surman or the corporation CEO Laura Chambers? She seems to be an interim position holder, so I guess whatcha referring to?

Manalith ,

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like for the most part, at least for big decisions, the corporation answers to the foundation which is more of a commitee anyway. Maybe they’re kept more separate than that, but that’s the impression that I got.

Manalith ,

You MONSTER, look at the poor girl!

Manalith ,

Oh it’s THAT Robert Reich

Manalith ,

Youcan tell from the photo which one is the top and which one is the bottom

Manalith ,

(New) disabled all my inbox rules and since you can’t create new rules in the OWA irom what I could see, there was basically no management. Glad I moved my personal stuff to Proton before they kill the standard Outlook app entirely

Manalith ,

EFF sent out a campaign to their mailing list this morning about how banning it is a bad move for free speech and a better option would be to create actual data privacy laws that companies have to follow to do business in the US, but of course that would just put more money in politicians pockets to ensure it never sees the light of day.

Manalith ,

It takes like 2 minutes to make it so you don’t need to use a microsoft account to log in to Windows. It’s annoying that it has to be done but it can be done.

Manalith ,

To be fair, we don’t know that doesn’t exist somewhere

Ex-Activision CEO Bobby Kotick looks to buy TikTok amid shutdown fears - Dexerto (www.dexerto.com)

TikTok has been at the center of controversy for the United States government in the last few years. Particularly, members of the Senate believe China-based parent company ByteDance could spy on its users and share information with the Chinese Government....

Manalith ,

It’s like the Robot Chicken Star Wars skit “This deal is getting worse all the time”

Yes I know he does actually use that line in Empire but still

Manalith ,

Nebula.tv because there is an option for no monthly subscription at the moment

FTC Takes Action Against Tax Prep Company H and R Block For Wiping Consumers’ Data, Deceptively Marketing ‘Free’ Online Filing (www.ftc.gov)

In an administrative complaint, FTC staff alleges that H&R Block’s online tax filing products lead consumers into higher-cost products made for more complicated tax filings, despite many consumers not needing the additional tax forms and schedules offered by those products. In addition, H&R Block fails to clearly explain which...

Great now do Intuit.

If you’ve got like 24 minutes this video gives a pretty solid explanation.
