I've seen NXBrew recommended in the past, I've never personally used it however.

If the author of a paper isn't excited at the idea of sharing their work with an interested party, I'd honestly immediately question the value of their academic contributions anyway.

The easiest way is by using an add-on. Alternatively, you can change it manually under general.useragent.override in your about:config

Also I swear I'm not trying to be an ass, but entering "how to change user agent string firefox" in your preferred search engine would have gotten you an answer much quicker.

Piped or FreeTube on desktop.

LibreTube on mobile. SmartTube on Android TV.

I haven't had to deal with Google's crap in a while. All of these have no ads and have Sponsorblock built-in. I do miss the algorithm's suggestions but I do discover new content creators through Nebula (and FreeTube has decent related video suggestions in my experience).

(They're being sarcastic)

Stremio + Torrentio + Real Debrid is the smoothest piracy experience I've ever had. I even coached my dad on how to set it up through chat, it's that easy.

I prefer people posting the original source, and I'll just let LibRedirect (on desktop) or LibreTube (on mobile) switch the link to my preferred Piped instance. I don't want to use random instances.

I feel like most people who feel strongly against YouTube will have it set up similarly to where you automatically get redirected when clicking a link anyways. You can always offer up a Piped link in the text box or the comments as an alternative.

Vaguely conservative people love to claim that "you can't joke about anything nowadays!!" but everytime I ask for an example it's either completely banal stuff like this sketch, or it's just straight up bigotry with the thinnest veneer of "a joke".

Like, sorry that calling a trans woman a guy or saying weird shit about Muslims isn't funny in 2023, but good god get some fucking actual material.

I prefer keeping original titles, but it's so easy to add a couple lines of context in the text section of a post.

I'm not at my computer to check, but I'm like 70% sure you can set a minimum segment length for skipping.

They mean libs.

Eh, the corporate fucks who decide to make websites this way, I agree with you, but the truth is most people who put up with it just don't have the faintest idea of how computers work. You'd bring up DNS filtering and custom adblock filter lists and their eyes would glaze over.
