    The PFY reference to a character from The Bastard Operator from Hell [0]! I'm just starting out my career, so it felt appropriate.

    My understanding is that they mostly didn't want to do anything more involved with Google than scrape a webpage and write an Android app - though I'm not on the team and haven't participated and couldn't say for sure.

    I think they have looked at VLC - there's a lengthy workaround lower in the thread via VLC, but I've not read that part in depth.

    Actually, just double checked. Looks like theres a mention here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/668#issuecomme... of that being a possibility, but no ones commented on it or made any progress yet afaict.

    [0] Originals here: http://bofharchive.com/BOFH.html, and I think The Register has new ones.

  • auto-youtube-subscription-playlist-2

    Script automatically adds videos to playlists from Youtube channels and/or subscriptions (Youtube Collections alternative).

  • At least for videos I use google spread sheet script to manage a bunch subscriptions into different private playlists accessible via sharelinks in Newpipe with psonsorblock. Allows me to keep things in sync with youtube account on other devices.

    Music I just use the default App and pay for the subscription.

  • Fenix

    Discontinued ⚠️ Fenix (Firefox for Android) moved to a new repository. It is now developed and maintained as part of: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-android

  • For anyone reading this. Don't visit the above link, just use older version instead:

    https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20647

    To anyone out of the loop, Firefox Android has basically killed add-ons, similar to Chrome. This is why you have to go through 12 steps just to install a fucking addon.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
