yt-dlp now suffers from the same issue that Invidious does: uncircumventable rate-limiting based on IP address.

You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore.

Same for yt-dlp, currently: It works from your residential IP address, but not a datacenter IP address like a VPN.

If you get Sign in to confirm that you’re not a bot or This helps protect our community. in yt-dlp, do not actually try to sign in, because that will get your account banned (see yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10128).

So once a solution is found for Invidious, yt-dlp will be able use it too, and vice versa.

Again, it’s not advertising, it’s a form of privacy protection. There are no ads in Firefox, and they did not add any mechanism for tracking users, so calling it browser advertising is advertising your own technology illiteracy.

Sorry, I was trying to save space, but I can see how only starting the quote in the middle of the paragraph is misleading. I edited the quote to include the context.

For me this reads as them explaining and condemning that dilemma, instead of considering it as an option for F-Droid.

IMO, it read more like acknowledging concerns around ads but not explicitly condemning it. But I’m not going to form an opinion about it until they do something, or at least make their intentions clearer.

ads in Firefox

That’s a common misconception. For users like myself who use uBlock Origin, Firefox supporting PPA changes nothing at all (as pointed out by the Firefox CTO). The only users who would see an ad that uses PPA are users who would otherwise see ads that use tracking.

That is why the EFF supports it.

If they were talking about Privacy-Preserving Attribution like Firefox is experimenting with supporting on MDN, that would be one thing, but it doesn’t sound like that’s what F-Droid is talking about.

Not only are privacy and data protection founding principles for both Mobifree and F-Droid, the use of tracking-based in-app advertising poses a moral dilemma as well. If someone wants to gain access to an app, but does not have the financial means to purchase it, they can use it at a different kind of price - their user data.

F-Droid is also considering ads that contain no tracking, which removes that moral dillema, IMO:

It should be mentioned that it is possible to include in-app advertising without user tracking. However the lead conversion ratio drops dramatically, so the efficacy of this approach is not nearly as high.

That’s basically what PPA is, advertising without tracking. If advertisers want to pay for it, then great.

This isn’t a Tate video, it’s a video that is critical of him. It’s useful if someone in your life is caught up with Tate, because you’re not only aware of what content they’ve been consuming, but what some key logical fallacies of it are, if you ever engage them.

What do you mean “no”? Here’s your dictionary.com definition. See #4:

noun

1. one of a scattered group of people that traces its descent from the Biblical Hebrews or from postexilic adherents of Judaism; Israelite.

2. a person whose religion is Judaism.

adjective

4. Offensive. of Jews; Jewish.

verb (used with object)

5. jew, Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. to bargain sharply with; beat down in price (often followed by down).: See Usage note at the current entry.

So again, “Jew” as an adjective is a slur. Say “Jewish” instead, unless you’re using “Jew” as a noun.

“Jew” when used as an adjective is a slur. It’s “Jewish”.

In the past, they dumped the money on the largest telecom companies and ask them to make internet faster, and the telecom companies pocket it/pass it off to shareholders and improve nothing.

Looking at the Middle Mile Broadband Infrastructure Program recipients list, the very largest telecom companies are not listed, so maybe this time will be different.
