This could disrupt ad blockers like uBlock Origin and @sponsorblock, and third-party apps, pushing users towards YouTube Premium.  @alternativeto @sponsorblock You know what they say... "You can push a user towards YouTube Premium, but you can't make him pay." Google plans to integrate the Android stack into ChromeOS to accelerate AI feature delivery, using the Android Linux kernel and frameworks. Chromebook Plus users can already access the Gemini feature, and more updates should come in the near future. YouTube is currently experimenting with server-side ad injection. This means that the ad is being added directly into the video stream. This breaks sponsorblock since now all timestamps are offset by the ad times. For now, I set up the server to detect when someone is submitting from a browser with this happening and rejecting the submission to prevent the database from getting filled with incorrect submissions.

@sponsorblock Youtube keeps spending money on a war they can't win. We will always find a way @sponsorblock A potential solution to this is to store not just a timecode on sponsorblock server, but a video-fingerprint (like store mean variance of group of pixels in like 5 random position, each 10 frame) sad to have to fight this... (they premium cost so much also, and they censor everything, not neutral...) @sponsorblock do you know if they're injecting ads within individual DASH segments or do they have the ad serving logic where they serve the DSAH metadata? We are currently developing import functions for #Affinity Designer & Adobe #Illustrator files. Would you like to help? 🤝 Donate your files (.ai or .afdesign) until the 19th here: ⚠️ Only upload files for which you own the rights. ⚠️ They will be used for #Inkscape development by the project's contributors and will not be published.

 @inkscape I have no files of any kind but i hope you succeed on developing those functions.  @inkscape Oooh, that's amazing! I've come across a few specific problems when importing/opening .ai files with Inkscape again and again. Is there a place where I could discuss these issues? @inkscape Just uploaded a couple of old Illustrator files I created before switching over to Inkscape a few years back. This feature is something that I'm actually quite excited for. |
