It is not. It has been discussed countless times already. The trackers are from the external sites youre visiting through Connect.

There’s nothing connect can do about the trackers from the articles you’re visiting using Connect.

If you’re worried about trackers, you can force connect to open sites using an xternal browser that has tracker blockers features.

It has been fixed in v0.97

Connect is at a stage where it could rival those now defunct mature 3PA Reddit apps

Revanced YouTube music?

In my very humble and personal opinion, theres a finite number of content I will be able to watch in my lifetime.

Like many others I’m pretty sure, I have long gone past this limit, yet my personal collection of 50+mbps remuxes barely go over 6TB. This is hardly bank breaking

Honestly, for me, remux is the only way to go. Why would you risk downgrading the original quality? Is disk space / bandwidth really an issue in 2023?

I wouldn’t be surprised if the real number of users was half, or even a third of that.

I have four accounts.

The concept of who you chose to share your status was cumbersome. It at least not auntie or uncle friendly

I don’t remember what it was called? Spaces?

I tried pretty much all of the Android clients / webapps. Connect is currently the one that is the most like Relay (favorite lists, community tab, general UI) but still missing key components. As a former Relay user, I feel you.

But is the source separate on YT’s server is what I’m wondering.

If not, there’s a transcoding stage

Please somebody correct me if I’m wrong:

Separate audio is rarely available on streaming sites like YouTube, so if you’re ripping a song from it, you essentially are transcoding the files three times:

• Encoding by the content creator
• Extracting the audio from the the content
• Encoding in the format of choice

So no matter how great the quality is at either of these transcoding ends, you are still transcoding in lossy format at least two times

Before 3pa were banned on Reddit I tried to convince people to join Lemmy, and the general consensus was that it was “too complicated”

Its oversimplified but yet I feel like the new generation never had to understand tech basics prior to enjoying it.

It’s a good thing overall, but yeah… Might be a bit scary too

Most (all?) Bravia series televisions have built in android TV and the interface is imo super slick and not bloated.

I have a x950h plugged in ethernet and I can stream Plex in 4k HDR DV without any issues. It’s basically plug and play.

I was so weirded out when I found out that you can hear ALL of your “hey Google” recordings in these settings.
