I don’t mind giving graphene a try but I’ll be honest, I have the following issues:

  • Need to buy a pixel phone for this.
  • I use a memory card so pixel phones might not be an option.
  • fear of bricking a phone that I just got.

I do have two questions here to be honest,

  1. Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
  2. Why use this instead of RedReader?

Shit move from Spez. But let’s be honest, the issue is that he might be able to paywall some subreddits that are niche and provide support on certain subjects that usually can’t be found anywhere.

Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.

What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.

The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.

Lemmy lacks on users and content that’s a fact. But you get no engagement at all from Reddit.

I can post a comment there and see another 800 people posting comments. You rarely get replies from anyone. I don’t care about likes and awards. But it’s nice to see someone agreeing or disagreeing with you.

It’s a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can’t shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

It’s a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

I haven’t found a way to default to it really.

Had this issue. Happens to me when using the image selector that pops up. However, it works fine if I access the files and select the image from there.
