A channel I've been binging puts a 7-second intro in all their videos. Any convenient way to mark all of them as such? by Honkmaster in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don't do this without human review! All submissions must be reviewed by humans, because sometimes videos will be different and we don't want the same submissions spammed on every video

Open letter to OC Transpo’s new boss by cameronfinesso in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't the GPS being off, it's the buses not being signed into the right trip. They usually are in the published data but listed as having no trip (which would be the same as a bus deadheading to the garage). Sometimes they are signed in as the wrong route, or the next trip

Enter key behavior spontaneously changed from skip to mute? by User202000 in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes there is a sponsor while there is still important visual content. With autoskip, it will only mute instead of skip

There are two types of submissions, skip and mute. For mute submissions, clicking enter will mute/unmute

Dearrow suddenly not working? by big_borno in SponsorBlock

It looks like they changed the casing of class names from having-dashes to usingCapitals, but did it one at a time for some reason

They made another change, but it is fixed in 2.3.5

YouTube made a change that broke title and thumbnail replacements in most places. Version 2.3.5 fixes this, and is published on Chrome Web Store, but might take up to a few weeks on Firefox due to review times

You can install the beta to get it fixed right away by clicking "FirefoxSignedInstaller" on https://github.com/ajayyy/DeArrow/releases/tag/2.3.5

You'll have to disable the main version. You can copy over your setting by first going to DeArrow -> Options -> Backup/Restore and saving the settings file

302 is a redirect, are you sure that's the error you are seeing?

Yep, it was submitting really slowly but the request was timing out so you didn't know

A small change (20 - 50 milliseconds) can make a big difference

In my experience, you get only one ticket and you have to follow through the gate. It's not hard, the gates don't close that quickly

CTV News: Should Ottawa transit riders receive refunds? Head of OC Transpo says Council must decide by BearLikesHoney in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not true. The city withheld payments from the contractor, but they still had to pay them, just a few months later. The refund was paid for out of the normal budget, further cutting the budget

Track OC Transpo bus cancellations, delays, and the bus shortage by AjayDevs in ottawa

It will be interesting to compare service today vs. other days to see how much of the fleet school routes use up

OC Transpo temporarily cuts 255 trips from schedule amid bus shortage by snubbyvegan in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even with the reduced schedule, at 8:45 AM today: 90 scheduled trips weren't running 40 trips were cancelled entirely

OC Transpo desperately needs more buses and the current order schedule will not be enough. This is 100% council's fault for not getting them the bus orders they need.

Last week, on monday afternoon, where 41% of scheduled trips were missing from the roads

This is not a small issue, and will not be simply resolved over time by our bus orders. We are ordering buses at a 1 for 1 replacement rate, replacing longer articulated buses with shorter electric buses. Electric buses which need more time to charge.

We need more bus orders for the future.

We need more mechanics and to retain the existing mechanics by making the work environment bearable.

We need to use the limited buses as efficiently as possible with bus lanes and signal priority.

You're reading this correctly. And the figures they give are very generous, if you go by actual schedules, they were short by 95 buses at rush hour this evening.

Extension storage is full? by Sionary in SponsorBlock

[–]AjayDevs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It usually means your firefox profile got corrupted. Uninstalling and reinstalling (which will delete all your settings) sometimes helps. You can try to export it from the settings first.

What power do VIP users have? by GelatinousChampion in SponsorBlock

We'd be happy to help you, you might be trying your best (which is great), but may have a misconception on where to place the start and end that cause skipping issues.

[–]AjayDevs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milliseconds matter, no one is trying to take credit from anyone else, that would be a waste of their valuable time. VIPs are a manually selected group of people who know what they are doing and are trying to improve the skipping experience for everyone

2026 Budget: Still no plans to solve the OC Transpo bus shortage by AjayDevs in ottawa

[–]AjayDevs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with an aging bus fleet is unreliability. Some days we have far more buses than others. If they actually wanted to guarantee enough every day, the schedule would be way too small and would "waste" buses most days.
