Sponsorblock has been a Godsend for me; it's something you don't really think about but adds up. The sponsored segments are not even really the biggest advantage, it also skips intros and outros and interaction reminders, which are huge. I am convinced that being really aggressive about blocking advertisements helps with my ADHD and helps me focus better. I don't have science to back that up, just my anecdotal self-r…

Long intros are the worst. You had a nice click bait title and thumbnail fucking get to the content instead of telling me how busy you have been and how you feel/sound sick or entire history of everything and everyone even remotely related to the topic if the video. Just give me the meat and give it to me raw

It's like their primary goal is to dump their opinion-drama on their seemingly captive audience, and any actual 'content' is far secondary to first-order-thinking-limited outrage.

Fuck all of them, and fuck the average human's susceptibility to being brain-hacked like that.

(Yes, there's plenty of good content and presenters out there, but there's about 1000x more dressed-up trash that also seem to have an unexplainable gazillion-and-one appropriately named "followers").

Hey dmunozv04, would this work on a old Raspberry Pi 3? I'm getting the following error and I'm thinking it might not be supported;

> docker: no matching manifest for linux/arm/v6 in the manifest list entries.

Would it work on a raspberry 4 maybe or even a raspberry 5?

If not any of the above, is there a low power mini-pc type option that you recommend?

Thanks

I had a peek and it looks like it's the youtube lounge API. Basically this is casting with some bonus features. If you are playing on a Screen (a tv or console) then Remotes (usually your phone) can automatically notice it and automatically show what is playing, let you use controls, add stuff to the playlist etc. This program registers a remote and automatically skips forward when a sponsorblock segment is present.

Very neatly explained. I can confirm it does exactly that

Such an awesome piece work. Great job!

I don't - the creator already got paid... and if it devalues ads to the point of sponsors no longer trying to inject marketing into videos and creators relying on patreon/similar I think we'd be in a better world.

> creators relying on patreon/similar I think we'd be in a better world. so do you sign on to any patreons for any of the creators you watched?

I do, I'm currently subscribed to three youtubers' patreon. I'm not subscribed to any large creators but rather to a few really niche ones.

Not dmunozv04 - you need to install the 64bit version of Raspberry Pi OS (unfortunately not the default) as the project does not provide ArmV6 images with Docker. Or build your docker image/run it outside of docker.

Ok thanks. I have the OG pi which is only 32bit. I’ll try to pickup a Pi3 from eBay and test with that
