I see. I don't believe there's currently any way to filter kiosk content by type like that. You could open a feature request for it on GitHub if you'd like (assuming one doesn't already exist).
Hide the 'Shorts' channel tab:
Settings > Content > Channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'
Hide shorts in feed/subscriptions:
Settings > Content > Fetch channel tabs > Uncheck 'Shorts'
Your question has been mostly answered, though if you're wondering why v0.26.0 is missing as well, it's because of some issues with reproducible builds that should hopefully have been resolved now.
I thought the app was being rewritten and that this version was only gonna receive fixes until the rewrite is over.
That's correct. The "New" and "Improved" changes are mostly from pull requests that were opened before the rewrite announcement, or are important quality of life improvements.

Sorry, I didn't see that you were on Mastodon, that explains it.
Yes, you've already commented that and it's a good suggestion. Why did you need to write it twice?
Version 0.26.1 (and 0.26.0) hasn't been published on F-Droid yet because it couldn't be reproduced (meaning that the app as built by F-Droid wasn't completely identical to the one published by the NewPipe team).
The problem is tracked here:
https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/10746
It's in the current build cycle, so give it 1-2 days.
Where do you find images that you could get a link to? I don't understand that feature
The app now shows links to images that NewPipe fetches like thumbnails, avatars and banners. You can find them in the video descriptions and in the 'About' channel tab.
The ability to download playlists is not introduced in this release.
There is an open feature request for it that is tracked here:
NewPipe#5482
In the meantime, you can use NewPipe in conjunction with Seal to download playlists.

Since Whatbox allows you to SSH into your seedbox, you can setup slskd manually (root not required) and access its WebUI remotely.
YouTube views are not counted in NewPipe and neither are Peertube views, but there is an open feature request for it here: https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/3092
This tutorial is pretty good as an introduction to modding APKs:
https://old.reddit.com/r/ApksApps/comments/oat3qu/tutorial_how_to_modify_apk_files_for_premium/
The example used is unlocking premium features but the principles are the same for disabling DRM.
https://piped.video/watch?v=jNiKU4-ybBc
In the future, you can just manually replace www.youtube.com
with piped.video
to view it on Piped, since the rest of the URL is identical between Youtube and Piped.
