<p>VueTorrent is a web client.<p>I currently use the official Web UI in an isolated Chromium instance and made an automatic log in page so that I don't have to type in the password every single time I open it.<p>I add torrents to the qBittorrent instance using a Firefox addon. It's all a bit jank.<p>I started some work to make my own qBittorrent client for desktop; I don't care about mobile that much.</p>

<p>I see people are doing scripts or other things to remove shorts from their feeds, but there is a simpler solution.<p>Take your RSS URL of a channel, e.g.:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9BtJN2jgcz7ynXWdOw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCxSGC9B...</a><p>Replace the `channel_id` with `playlist_id` and replace `UC` with `UULF`. This prefix will only list normal videos:<p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSGC9BtJN2jgcz7ynXWdOw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=UULFxSG...</a></p>

<p>On the "Space" sidebar I used to have a button list rooms outside of any "Space" and a button to list only DMs.<p>Now I still have the button to list rooms outside of any "Space" but now instead of a DM button I have "Home" which mixes both DMs and rooms outside of any "Space" so I need to click on that and then the "People" filter (which doesn't save so I can't just click it once and be done) to get rid off the rooms that I already have a dedicated button for.<p>You sure succeeded in removing duplication. Two buttons that did two different things caused so much duplication!<p>Now I will have to create a "Space" to add those "space-less" rooms so that they don't show up in Home.<p>Oh and on upgrade I had no button to view DMs at all as I disabled "Home" before but you didn't force re-enable it for people upgrading.<p>Message search on Element X Android when?<p>EDIT: Also the filters hide under another button when your sidebar is too small and if you expand it then it can take up even 6 lines.<p>EDIT: And now also noticed that favourites don't stay at the top, truly useless, thanks.<p>EDIT: Why is room sorting method global now… I used to have spaces with different sorting… the location of the button to change the sorting hasn't even changed so it still feels like if it was local to the space. Good UX.<p>EDIT: Since I ended up complaining so much, might as well say that the sidebar having the same colour as the chat panel is pretty ugly and makes the whole application blend in more when the chat should be the main focus. Also expanding the spaces is still terrible as it expands the space part of the sidebar and it is annoying to have to toggle the sidebar back, I don't want the sidebar to take 1/3 of my screen.</p>

<p>From what I found in UK banks will let 16 year olds to open an account independently.<p>You could also mail cash (Mullvad), buy a VPN gift card in a physical store or online or get something like a prepaid Visa/Mastercard or a paysafecard.<p>Even if that is not an option, it's not like age restrictions have prevented everyone underage from alcohol or smoking, people will find a some shady VPN provider or a friend to buy them one.<p>And also, the transaction can have a very useless business name.</p>

<p>GPU video encoding is pretty much always optimised for real-time encoding, meaning that it can't run certain optimisations as it would increase the time to encode.<p>Compare x264 veryfast and veryslow presets. There is a quality difference at the same bitrate.<p>Additionally, GPU encoders don't have as many psychovisual options as CPU encoders as they would need to be included in the hardware and adding extra options to CPU encoders is much faster, easier and cheaper.<p>You could build a non-realtime GPU encoder, but there is not much point.</p>

<p>Just a small note about it: it's not open-source and their excuse is… pretty poor. They don't give you modification rights at all, so you can't even legally contribute to the project.<p>The platform support is implemented inside "plugins" and they are under AGPL-3.0, so… can you even distribute the application, considering that the licence of the application and plugins seem to be incompatible at my non-lawyer first glance?<p>Their excuse for their application licence so that they can legally prevent people from uploading ad-infested versions in Google Play and similar platforms under their name… but that's why MPL 2.0 and Apache 2.0 have trademark exclusion clauses.</p>

<p>On my laptop alone SponsorBlock has skipped 5225 segments, which equals to 1d 20h. That's a lot of time I would waste by watching all of these.<p>Also, if you are fine with sponsor spots, you probably would have to also be okay with watching ads, so no adblocking either then.</p>

<p>Yep, just some CSS.<p>I have not cleaned it up for release or anything, so it's a bit messy, but feel free to use it under the licence terms of cgit (GPLv2.0-only) and if you don't mind, put an attribution somewhere, like at least at the top of the CSS file.<p>EDIT: You will also need this in your <head>, otherwise you won't have a mobile-friendly layout:<p><pre><code>    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
