Apple

Hello, sorry for being inactive for a long time I was in a very busy period in exams!

Today I would like to introduce you to an incredible application: Yattee. It simply allows you to watch YouTube without ads, without sponsored messages, with an interface based on Swift for an Apple native experience.

Combined with an application like Redirect Web for Safari (https://apps.apple.com/en/app/redirect-web-for-safari/id1571283503), you can redirect all YouTube links to Yattee!

The best part is that it is available on the App Store for free. The magic comes from the fact that the application does not go through YouTube directly but through an instance based on Invidious or Piped.

I put the download link here for those who are interested: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1595136629

To watch videos, when starting the application, go to the settings at the top left, click on Instances, then Add an instance, give the name you like (ex: Amazing Instance) and choose a link from these two lists:

Https://docs.invidious.io/instances/

Https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

Choose what you prefer between Piped and Invidious. I took the instance https://invidious.reallyaweso.me because it is based in a country close to mine and Invidious is known to be stable.

On the instance you have chosen, you can also create an account on which your subscriptions and playlists will be synchronized. So if like me you only use a Google account for YouTube, you can get rid of it. The only thing you won’t be able to do anymore is write comments and publish videos.

Apple says they violate its rules.

What do you think are the BEST extensions for Safari? Or do you use another browser? Here are mine that I am currently testing:

• Wipr / Adguard (while Adguard is complete, it is very energy-hungry. On the Wipr side, it blocks all ads but lacks Cookie windows for example)

• Unsmartifier (to block App store ads on certain web pages)

• Redirect Web for Safari (the app seems to be great but doesn’t work, surely because I use the beta version of iOS 18, there I can’t be sure)

• Qwant for Safari (I like this search engine and it recently got an update integrating an AI response to Google)

And you, what do you use?

Hello!

As you would have noticed, there are some changes that have occurred this week in the community: new moderator, new look, but especially the temporary deactivation of the Zippy Bot, which often shared posts that were not relevant and did not encourage so much exchange between users.

So I wanted to know your opinion, collect your ideas in order to improve the community. Thank you to everyone who joins!

Self-described Apple workers, former employees, and shareholders are calling on the company to halt donations to nonprofits linked to Israel’s war effort.

Or, Old Tech, an addendum.

Apple Intelligence is AI for the rest of us. (Get it? Now Apple owns AI!). It is more personal, because it is, to quote apple: “grounded in your personal information”. That’s a crazy statement, boss. I really love when tech companies ground themselves in my personal information.

This process stuck & the For You tab doesn’t update. Anyone familiar with this issue? How to fix it?

This is a follow-up to my blog post Updating from macOS Ventura to Sonoma silently enables iCloud Keychain. In the addendum to that blog post, I discussed a workaround, which was to delete my WiFi password right before rebooting into the updater. In a trial run on my M1 Mac mini, the workaround was successful.

I currently have an iPhone 13 Pro and want to buy a bicycle after moving to a new city. Do you recommend a phone holder for my bike or Apple Watch for navigation purposes? I don’t own a watch yet but I can see how it would make sense on a bicycle. I just don’t know which solution is best. I probably would have to bring my phone regardless. Do you guys have any recommendations or suggestions or experience with navigating using the Apple Watch on a bicycle? I read the GPS quality on a watch can change depending on the mode. Then again I probably would bring my phone anyway and maybe the watch can use the phone gps signal.

This community is looking for a mod!

If you think that would be something you'd like to try (you don't need to be a lemmy.zip user either!) drop me a message or let me know below.

With Apple's latest ad, the problem is not the media but the message.
