Doesn’t that only happen on the mobile version? Either way, it’s stupid and annoying. Google should start de-ranking sites that add barriers to content, but I know they never will.

Legally. OC stated that NewPipe doesn’t worry about legal threats because they scrape instead of using an official API.
Is it any different for an “API”? I don’t think there’s a very big difference between an HTTP endpoint that returns HTML and an HTTP endpoint that returns JSON.
I just tested it by updating something and it didn’t work, so I would say no, we don’t have background updates on F-Droid.
I can’t watch something with sound right now, but even if he got some money out of it, wouldn’t it be less than he loses by ruining his entire career and reputation? I wouldn’t even hire someone who did that as a cashier. I’d expect them to steal from the register or something.
Won’t he need to get a fake indentity and then a degree and stuff under that identity?
What would motivate someone to do something like this? I don’t get it. He had to know he’d be found out eventually when the magic superconductors didn’t work.
There may be a time in the future when the entire internet as it is now could fit on whatever people have instead of cell phones in a few hundred years.
Ugh, what a fucking shitshow. I know it won’t happen quickly or easily, but I’m hoping to see more people on federated platforms in the next decade or two. It’s the only way for us to take the internet back from these greedy bastards.
