incredibly useful product. pretty sure 'background play' is a paid feature on default droid youtube[1]. newpipe does it out of the box. I don't object to paying for youtube but I do object to them linking my watch activity to my account. guessing youtube is constantly trying to kill this, just like ytdl, but for now amazing work keeping it up 1. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7437614

> guessing youtube is constantly trying to kill this, just like ytdl, but for now amazing work keeping it up their lawyers are, but the developers certainly aren't. the og youtube-dl hasn't released in 2 years and still works mostly fine.

ah I switched to yt-dlp, but forgot why

The French invented the word chauvinism :) They take their language very seriously likewise. I work for a French company and even though the official language is English you're kind of a second rate citizen if you don't speak it. Or write last names in all caps or quotation marks like > :) They just are that way :P

Oh really?? In our company it still happens a lot. Especially the all caps last names are standard. Even in many non french countries.

The quotation chevrons I've seen only in some people's output indeed.

Google probably indexes 25% of the content available nowadays.... I rarely use Google

Is there a good search engine that indexes more stuff?

It doesn't index more stuff overall, but marginalia.nu has a pretty great system for identifying non-commercial sites, which tend to be higher quality since they're not trying to sell crap.

The creator recently started working on it full-time.

The client is French. Including a French copy of the message is entirely mundane.

Space before exclamation or question mark is basically 100% accurate indicator of Francophone writing.

There a version of the NewPipe app which contains the SponsorBlock plugin. I use it since months and can't watch YouTube videos without it anymore.

I block ads not because I'm completely anti-advert. I'm anti being-stalked-through-my-entire-life-and-having-my-details-sold-like-I'm-a-cheap-peice-of-meat, and unfortunately ATM blocking that also means blocking most online adverts. So I draw the line before sponsorblock. At least the content creators get a better cut of that than they get from YouTube monetisation & youtube can't take it away from them as easily at…

sponsorblock doesn't just have sponsor segments. There are segments for intro, outros, filler content, non music section for music videos, etc. Depending on the type of content you watch, skipping these segments are great. Sponsorblock has a config option so you can toggle on/off which type of segments you want to skip.

The way the DMCA works, to my understanding, Google has to accept the notice, unless NewPipe submits a counter notice, which can be done here: https://support.google.com/legal/troubleshooter/1114905 Proceed as if reporting infringement, and the option will appear to specify this is a counter report. If the reporter chooses to continue, the next step is with the courts.

> Google has to accept the notice, unless NewPipe submits a counter notice, They don’t have to accept it-they can choose to ignore or reject it. However, if they choose to ignore/reject it, and the notifier then sues them, they may lose one of their legal defences. Obviously they decide that most of the time complying is the legally less risky path, so most of the time they comply. However, if they get a DMCA request…

I think they have a whitelist for things like Wikipedia.

All caps started becoming more popular in English because a lot of people now have names where the first and last names are interchangeable and it was causing uncertainty.

I don't think so. I've seen Indians do it too, though they may be more willing to drop it as they learn it's not done in the wider anglophone world.
