Yeah, no idea why threads get locked like that. Oh well, one of those little
things that make this forum unique in a bad way.
I'm not on Diaspora anymore since I was essentially alone there (no one
followed from facebook. I should have waited and insisted a bit maybe few saw
my message haha... )
And even now that I'm free from the clutches of social media (feeding my
ego), I'm still short on time for myself.
Watching youtube or any video without javascript isn't that hard (but it is a
bit intimidating), check the launchy/youtube-dl thread and take it step by
step.
Short version: Install the Launchy addon. Create a text file and put the text
that works with launchy. Name it something.sh, so you know it's a script.
Then right-clic on it, find the permission tab and clic on "allow execution
as a program" or something. Last hurdle is to lik both. You have to find the
right folder, and modify the .xml in there.
Feel free to ask anything on the thread, I'll help any way I can.
This will allow you to right-clic on a page, clic on launchy and it will
download and launch the video. When you close the player, the video will be
erased.
I have no idea about the weather channel, but I know about a gnome shell
extension that's easy to setup.
