I heard about YT Revanced because it has no ads. then i saw they had TikTok revanced. It removes ads, lets you block all Tiktok lives(i fucking hate 99% of them) and it lets you set the minimum likes/views a video needs to show up, so i don't get random people who have 1 like on their shitty video.

I think you have to download the APKs from revanced.app but goddamn has it make YT and Tiktok better.

They work on Android.

Ksenia Coffman’s fellow editors have called her a vandal and a McCarthyist. She just wants them to stop glorifying fascists—and start citing better sources.

coworkers were swapping between phones on the bluetooth speaker today and one dude was using youtube for music and we were roasting them when ads came up. i felt bad after a couple roasts and offered to look into an add-free alternative for iOS.

though i'm sure the answer is no. either way, thanks for your help chapisimos!

If we all get super lucky someone will sell this to police for enhancing security camera footage and they won't know what to do with all the white men it generates

Court documents allege that the government of North Korea dispatched thousands of skilled IT workers to live primarily in China and Russia with the goal of deceiving businesses from the U.S. and elsewhere into hiring them as freelance remote employees.

Notable quotes

"But the difference is that Anthropic’s employees aren’t just worried that their app will break, or that users won’t like it. They’re scared — at a deep, existential level — about the very idea of what they’re doing: building powerful A.I. models and releasing them into the hands of people, who might use them to do terrible and destructive things."

"Anthropic employees told me about the harms they worried future A.I. systems could unleash, and some compared themselves to modern-day Robert Oppenheimers, weighing moral choices about powerful new technology that could profoundly alter the course of history."

I need a way to spoof the GPS on my phone without alerting the clock-in software that I'm using a third party app to do it. I have android

I suspect that the clock-in software is checking for developer options > mock gps > select app. I've tried a couple different gps spoofing apps with the same result "it appears you are using a third party GPS app. Please disable it before clocking out"

wish me luck

This might actually be the best site ever.

I blocked your ads because I DON'T WANT TO FUCKING SEE THEM.

Advertisers are some of the most entitled fucking people in the entire world, thinking they have a God-given right to demand everyone watch their obnoxious bullshit. They know people hate their ads. They know nobody wants to see them. They know they're imposing them on us against our will. But they keep fucking doing it.

Joke's on you, though. I can just use a third party converter to download the videos I really want. If I use Google to search Youtube I don't even have to go to the site, much less watch an ad.
