Newpipe is the way to go!

Download videos, download audio, have no ads, listen to audio with the screen locked.

I love Newpipe!

You’ve been paying the Apple Tax!

After Snowden’s efforts at showing what America was capable of nearly 10 years ago, I’m not at all interested in letting that country have my data

What a shock to read. I love his books, his story, what he achieved and how he did it all. The world was a better and safer place with Kevin in it.

What a sad day to lose someone like that.

I’ve never heard of this, but I love podcasts.

Isn’t this similar to the totally free AntennaPod from f-droid?

Agreed with this.

A few years back it seemed better: fewer people meant recognised faces, regular chats, and almost a community feeling. I was in some kind of Linux instance.

Being much younger than most threw people off though, and I ended up feeling a little…on-the-outside and left.

I hopped on a week back and it feels so different now. Less community-oriented and all I find interesting is searching a hashtag and leaving.

I don’t know, maybe reddit (before the death) and lemmy have spoiled me, it just seems like random thoughts above all now.

Anyone else just using whatever is FOSS feom f-droid?

Of course the more apps the merrier, but personally open code = a more trustworthy use for me

Here is a site which removes paywalls for you, for future reference!

Why am I not surprised?

What annoys me the most is the stance he keeps trying to project that reddit is just a a ‘poor lil company, never any profit, just a little fish’.

Hearing that he wants to bring in the ability to oust established moderators by votes?

Good luck, who wants to literally give their time and energy to this company now for free? Not me anymore.

What a sad, sad interview.

Me too, going to look into this one!

It is the techical help that hurts the most. Raspberry Pi, Linx and Steam Deck are the big ones I find help for on Reddit.

But to be fair it just encourages me to search harder elsewhere, or better yet forces me to tinker more myself to find the solutions.

Regardless, it is a wealth of users that the users have given for free for so long.

There’s a good fork of NewPipe which has SponsorBlock, but a good portion of what I use YouTube for (say like 80%?) is ASMR videos.

And they make those damn sponsor ads so relaxing!

SmartTube on my TV and NewPipe on my phone make me realise when I watch something on my Xbox just how bad regular viewing can be

The Dreamcast one!

Isn’t this Pop-OS’s thing? Being literally for the gamers on Linux?

the Flirc case for Raspberry Pi

Can’t recommend it enough!

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

We shouldn’t use that word or the meaning behind it as a slur for anything.

You can be better than that.

We’re good teams, but I really hope not. A couple apathetic mods in each, but they seem content to follow the masses.

Its a game of trying to not log in to reddit (because every click they don’t get is a win for us), and needing to in order to discuss all this nonsense.

I just hope enough subs stay dark and get on board with the choice to go indefinitely.

Chatted with the moderator teams for the subs I am a part of. Two of them agreed we’ll go dark indefinitely, and we have joined in on that via ModCoord’s post.

The largest with just under 1m users is still thinking about it, but I’m fighting for it.

We need to push them where it hurts: active users for their ads to be used on.

I’ve been using it all day, really really impressed!
