Install Saber from F-Droid or use the FOSS release on GitHub. Those releases don’t include the Google ad library because it’s proprietary.

Merker det er skikkelig vanskelig å ha ‘tillit til rettssystemet’ når politiet kan slippe unna med noe som dette.

Torrminatorr has a Linux section with quite a few games, including GOG releases.

Sounds like Bython is the language for you! (only half-joking)

I checked, and it looks like F-Droid builds of recent versions are disabled for not being completely Free and Open Source because of one of the libraries it uses. Luckily, they appear to be migrating to an alternative library that is Free and Open Source (progress tracked here).

This feature request is tracked on GitHub here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/7201

I am not a GH user though, the place is pretty confusing for me honestly.

That’s understandable. I just wanted to share it as a reference.

This comment from one of the developers suggests that it’s seemingly only a problem with channels that have shorts, so you can use that as a starting point to find out what channels are failing to update.

I should note that this will likely not be a problem anymore once v0.26.0 releases with support for channel tabs, which should allow it to handle shorts properly. This is likely the reason that the feature request hasn’t really been prioritized.

I don’t mean to doubt you, but are you sure that none of your 100+ subscribed channels have ever uploaded a short? Note that shorts aren’t currently visible in NewPipe. You are of course correct that it could be caused by a different reason that is currently not known, though. If that’s the case, it’s usually a good idea to write a comment on the GitHub issue, but I understand that you might not want to do that.

I do think it’s weird that this feature hasn’t been added yet, though, as it seems pretty simple to implement. I’d write it myself, but NewPipe doesn’t accept contributions for new features at the moment, which is kind of annoying.
