  • Protip: you can create a uBlock Origin rule for the shorts panel, and that doesn’t expire after 30 days.

    I’ve got these in my filter list:

    www.youtube.com###title-text:has-text(Shorts):nth-ancestor(7)  
    www.youtube.com##.yt-formatted-string.style-scope.yt-simple-endpoint:has-text(YouTube Music):nth-ancestor(13)  
    www.youtube.com###video-title-link:has-text(Mix – ):nth-ancestor(7)
    

    But yeah, if there just wasn’t any way to get rid of shorts that’d be one thing, but the 30 day bit means there was a meeting where they decided to give users a way to explicitly signal that they aren’t interested in shorts and then decided not to respect that choice.



  • using Plasma

    Plasma and “apps apply scaling themselves” works perfectly for everything except non-DPI aware apps. If you don’t use any of those, it all just works.

    Ideally all DPI aware apps would apply scaling themselves and non-DPI aware apps would be scaled by the system, but this is complicated to actually do. All apps run in the same xwayland environment at the same DPI under Plasma, so you have to set scaling for the whole environment.
