How does this actually works? Can you point me to technical documentation about this?
I’ve only found info about SSAI, not about SSAP. Is it the same?
Seems too much, really. Even if they do such a terrible thing, would they not expose a “report ad” or “see the product” buttons? Video buffer is still locally downloaded.
I don’t see any technical specification in the article, but if they inject the ad at the start of the video, making it part of the video itself, would make possible to just skip it using video controls. To avoid user skippin ad thru video controls there should be client-side script blocking it, so an ad-blocker can use this to tell apart an ad from the video itself.
Can anyone correct me on this?
Also, would this affect piped and invidious too?
Politics is endangering the whole Lemmy, with instances defederated because of their political views and a lot of censorship.
Calm down folks! This is a web forum, people should be free to share what they think (without harassing anyone) without being censored, creating a biased platform.
I’m not into non-free-speech instances (like lemmy.world), but I do understand and respect their decision because it MAY decrease harassment between users. But please don’t defederate with everyone otherwise it would still be a biased platform. Let people choose what to see and just ban spam and real harassment (I’ve used too much this word).
I’m not into politics myself and it drives me crazy that we can’t rely on fine communities because they are on instances defederated by big instances because of their political views.
Is there a list of impacted roms?

From issue thread.
You are right. In the graph there is a rise, but inside “Total MAU” pill it says “-47,901 since last month”.
Still, monthly active users are goin down.
If LibreTube is not working for you (the reader, not OP), enable HLS here:
3 dots > Settings > Audio and video > Use HLS
See this.
Try enabling “Use HLS” inside:
3 dots > Settings > Audio and video
See this.
I was using LibreTube only as a music player and was a bit unreliable (sometimes it would crash or get stuck in infinite loading). Trying to use it for videos was impossible, since trying to skip even just 10s the video would load endlessly or just go black and freeze.
So I looked up on their github issue tracker and found this pinned.
“This app can only access the photos you select [in this dialog]”.
This is a system dialog to let the user choose pictures to share with app. It’s not an app dialog which can’t see things without permissions.
The same dialog is shown in multiple apps, here in the screenshot the app in question is DarkModeLiveWallpaper (f-droid) which do not have storage-related permissions at all. I can’t give permissions it does not request. So it is not an app permission issue.
Also, every app shows the same one folder in Albums view: screenshots.
The point of this dialog is to choose which image to share with the app without giving full permissions. In fact the app itself does not ask for storage permissions at all.
And I can see all the pictures in Photos view anyway, so I don’t think it’s a permission issue.
Edit:
In installed apps list there is “Media picker” which COULD be this. It does not ask for storage-related permissions.
Try enabling “Use HLS” inside:
3 dots > Settings > Audio and video
