I question whether lawyers are smart enough to understand what API means sometimes… They clearly aren’t using YouTube’s API so the whole letter is just false accusation. Maybe read the code first before making stupid allegations? No? This is a shitty for profit company? Makes sense in the current landscape I guess, all the shitty for profit services want to drive themselves into the ground for no reason now.
According to the GitHub thread, yes. I think that’s how all of the open source apps work - youtube-dl, NewPipe, Invidious at least. Using the API would open them up to legal trouble because you have to agree to the terms to use the API. You don’t agree to the terms when scraping.
Damn this looks awesome! before i didnt see the point of blend os compared to something like vanilla os, but with this it makes the project a lot more unique!
I’ve played around with Ubuntu touch from ubports foundation on an old pixel 3a. It works ok as a basic daily driver. Depending on the phone model there’s support for waydroid which helps with using android apps.
I’ve been posting on reddit about Reddit blackouts and lemmy a bit lately.
Coincidentally:
I had a 15 year account suspended yesterday. Never an issue. I mentioned in a thread about the video game Red Dead Redemption 2 that it was fun killing slave owning, confederate, non player characters.
Polygons.
In a mainstream video game. Where it’s part of the storyline.
“Quick, it made into the news! Damage control, damage control! Reinstate his account, otherwise people will notice the censorship! Let’s pretend that it was a mistake!”
Compactor is my Windows filesystem compression tool, good for clawing back space wasted by poorly-compressed games without having to faff about with the command line. I have a full rewrite in the pipeline that I’m procrastinating on.
ioztat is basically what zfs iostat would be if it existed — an iostat for ZFS datasets, rather than ZFS vdevs. It was born out of a script from Reddit’s /r/zfs and in a slightly obsessive period I rewrote and expanded it into a pretty capable tool I’m quite proud of.
If you have any experience packaging software for your favourite Linux distribution — well, I’m a FreeBSD user, so please knock yourself out. I’m begging you.
num_threads is a tiny foundational Rust crate, most notably used by time in order to determine if it’s safe to make certain syscalls. I have implementations for Open, Net, and DragonFlyBSD that I’ve been procrastinating on merging, because blessing unsafe code for platforms I don’t use is scary. Moral support is welcomed.
I make BusKill laptop kill cords that make your computer lock, shutdown, or self-destruct if the device is physically separated from you.
This protects your (encrypted) data from theft, which can be useful for digital nomads and cryptotraders working in cafes/coworking spaces. But our target audience is journalists, activists, and human rights workers in oppressive regimes.
Both the hardware and the software are open-source (CC-BY-SA, GPLv3). We manufacture the hardware with injection molding, but if you have a 3D-printer, then you can take a stab at our 3D-printable prototype.
i got banned from my fav game’s sub (gta online) for saying fuck islam cus many casino features are unavailable for me, even the -free- daily casino wheel spin… their reasoning was “racism”. im an arab…
Reddit permanently suspended all of my accounts because I said Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a cunt for not retiring when she had the chance. R/politics banned that account, and then a few weeks later I’d forgotten about that incident and commented in another post from a different account. That’s when reddit permabanned all of my accounts.
I’ve been on reddit since August 2008 when Randal Monroe published this xkcd about it: xkcd.com/477/
I’ve been slowly trying to become platform agnostic, so I can switch back and forth between OSs without losing function. I’m not 100% there, but I hope this list helps you too if you are looking to go that route.
