It was…oh my god. Do you have ANY idea how awful the vanilla youtube experience is?

Whether or not that matters depends on how much and how you watch it.

Ads while I listen to music = annoying

I want to navigate fast to different videos on PC to find something and almost every time an ad appears on a new video = annoying

I’m watching some chill drive or walk while reading a book and a loud ad appears = annoying.

But when I just go and watch 1-3 videos before bed on my ipad? I don’t care if I get those 2-4 ads, I just mute and wait those couple of seconds. I have no youtube adblockers or different clients on ipad / phone for that reason.

“Based on these reports, users see a message stating “Comments are turned off,” which appears across a wide range of videos”

Seems like a win to me.

I haven’t been following much of the new developments of these self-hostable AI. Can you actually self-host anything decent?

I have played around these smaller models in the past and honestly anything smaller than LLama 4 Scout was just not very useful. Now Llama 4 Scout was “17B Active parameters, 16 experts and 109B Total parameters” so not sure what that even means.

Terry Davis was right…

Yeah I noticed the main AUR package was last updated in June 2024. Thought they abandoned it but the GitHub shows the last release was around the same time. Downloaded sioyek-git instead and it works great.

I think I’m sticking with Sioyek. It checks enough boxes for what I need from a pdf viewer. Well documented, no performance issues, and it supports epub too.

The command line tools, portals, ruler for reading, keyboard text selection, searchable highlights, easy file opening, marking. Really vim-like. Need to customize some keybinds but otherwise don’t see a reason to look elsewhere for now.

Oh Sioyek looks interesting. Also the blog is great !

I personally want something more minimal.
