It's very much the same emulator but we're exposing a subset of functionality via WASM, in this case it wasn't handling grapheme codepoints correctly. It should be fixed on main (or @next).

Not being able to play Youtube in the background on your phone is unfortunately one of the main appeals of Premium. There's a lot of good mixes, concerts, etc that I play for the audio while doing something else that I can't do without Premium unless I wanted to leave my phone unlocked (and pray I don't pocket click a link).

My iPhone running Safari and uBlock Origin lite is able to do this. I don't have the youtube app installed. I don't even think the ad blocker is necessary for background audio, but I don't want to see ads.

1. Go to youtube.com in the browser, play the video, switch back to the home screen. Video playback will stop, which is a good default behavior.

2. Swipe down from the top of the screen which brings up "Notification Center" which somewhat strangely contains a playback control for the browser.

3. Press play. Audio resumes. If it's part of a playlist, you don't have to manually advance, it will play automatically.

No ads, no youtube premium subscription, no "desktop mode", no sideloading, no additional apps other than the beloved ad blocker.

TIL Thank you pal, it perfectly works!

Firefox Android can play audio even when the phone is locked, and I use it regularly.

Note: If you have a mid-range to lower end phone, battery optimization might stop your playback anyway by default. You can exclude Firefox from battery optimization though.

brave on android can also do the same, not sure about ios

I'm fairly certain if you use a browser and the desktop version of the site you can listen with the screen off/locked.

If you're on Android, YouTube Revanced does this (+many other premium features)

I run Brave (Android) on my phone and don't have any ads on Youtube. I think it worked on Brave iOS but I sold my iPhone last year.

I let Brave run in the background and it seems to work fine.

Brave is a series scam company.

I don't think that is true and I don't really care. The browser works properly, it has ad-blocking built in and it is trivial to turn off the other nonsense in the browser.

You can open youtube in the phone's web browser and install an extension that blocks a site's ability to tell when focus has left the page/app. This is how I listen to some music on my phone while working out.

Ad blockers help with the constant nagging about "open in the app!"

Never works

I'm not sure the EPA and FDA are the best examples you could've picked...

Under "Changing Code":

>It might seem like chaos, but it is not. It is just fluid synchronization, or to put differently: eventual consistency system.

Can anyone explain this? The example he used wasn't fleshed out enough for me to understand how this system wouldn't be chaos

The part about eventual consistency is just the author throwing around terms he does not understand in an effort to sound relevant.

This is interesting. Or is this just a "joke" (albeit dark) using an alternative definition of "worst"

The person asking wasn't specific about what he or she meant. I understand usually that means in the "how did your code fail in some spectacularly bad way?" sense but I took some liberty to answer.

As niche as it might be, sounds like another point in favor of EVs no?

Except when they don't, as described by the link in the parent comment

25 grams of sugar is less than a bottle of gatorade...Most kids aren't even close to this target

I hate to be that guy, but the amount of havoc commercial flying cars could create is concerning. If these things become commonplace, imagine the destruction someone could wreak. I don't think fear should ever be a good reason to deter progress, but it is something to think about if we want to go this route

Don't know if it's relevant but Tesla admitted that only 2 individuals on the board didn't also have ties to Solar City, so hearing that shareholders are enthusiastic about the merge wouldn't be surprising I wouldn't think
