QuazarOmega,

will be chastised with severe chastisement

Yo dawg, we heard you like chastisement

Decent YouTube client?

I’m looking for an app to browse YouTube using multiple accounts. It has to be convenient to switch between multiple accounts, and keep them separate. I’ve struggled to find a YT client that does this well, most of them seem to advertise “Use YouTube without an account”. I’d look on the app store but frankly the play...

QuazarOmega,

Their license is temporary as well right? I won’t keep my hopes up much, but they do state it will be changed, don’t know why nor when

QuazarOmega,

Agreed, source available licenses really rub me the wrong way, yet FUTO’s software is really good, it’d be a bit of shame if it stayed stuck on that

QuazarOmega,

Send has always been easy to use and reliable for me, double points for being free software

QuazarOmega,

There’s also text books that could be considered, they usually include listening exercises, though I can’t say how good that is as a method for self learning

QuazarOmega,

I have that, never had problems, Bluetooth works as well! At least with the devices that play well with Linux.

You should check out linux-hardware.org too, it has a huge database of hardware probes that can help you know what works exactly from each device, the search page is what you want: linux-hardware.org/?view=search

I use Brave pretty much just for that purpose, while I use Firefox to browse everything else.
There is Firefox PWA, but it feels like such a shitty hack (don’t get me wrong, it’s not badly made, but they’re forced by the circumstances to make a setup process that is one big headache) that I’d rather have a browser that has official and solid support and it also doubles as my browser to test web content on Blink, so it’s a win-win for me

QuazarOmega,

Maybe you can try GNOME Web if you don’t like Chromium, it should have them too, not sure how good the implementation is, though

QuazarOmega,

Isn’t that kind of the point though? I’d appreciate the option, but I don’t know how usable actual web apps would be without access to those things

QuazarOmega,

Awesome!

QuazarOmega,

How about training HI on Codeberg? ;)

QuazarOmega,

That’s really cool!
The screencasting of the keys also caught my attention, may I ask what you used for that?

QuazarOmega, (edited )

It’s one of the available Revanced patches, you’ll need to download the latest supported YouTube version from APK mirror and patch it with Revanced manager (the right version will be shown as “Suggested”)

suggested YouTube version

there you’ll choose the “Hide Shorts component” patch

hide shorts component patch

QuazarOmega,

Go for it, you won’t regret it!

QuazarOmega,

Is that so? That’s awful, theoretically websites shouldn’t store any until you actually agree, maybe except the “necessary” ones.

Anyways, I’d advise to use I still don’t care about cookies instead if you really want to use the extension, as the original has been acquired by Avast, of all companies.
For an extension that is more refined in how it handles the cookie pop ups there’s Consent O Matic, but in my experience it covers fewer websites so you’re either fine with that or contribute by reporting unsupported websites.
There’s also the uBlock Origin option, it has a filter list for cookie pop ups that should pretty much work like the first extension

QuazarOmega,

There’s proxygram which is still work in progress, but it’s already looking pretty good for now imo

QuazarOmega,

My man is doing the important research

QuazarOmega,

Download the internet along with it!

QuazarOmega,

Thanks for having us on your server… when can I get out again though?

QuazarOmega,

Thank you, good… bye

QuazarOmega,

Wierd that they’d switch to GitHub though, ideologically at least, I would think they’d host their own servers and, at most, have a mirror on GitHub

QuazarOmega,

The artifacts make it spicier

QuazarOmega,

This is a crtified .zip moment

QuazarOmega,

The problem is just that it’s too susceptible to being used to trick users, the services hosted on .zip domains aren’t evil by default, like your instance that is completely legit.
If you want to see (yet another) video, Thio Joe covered this really well imo

QuazarOmega,

Since you’ve got two packaged only as debs, it may be worth trying to install them under an Ubuntu container made with Distrobox

QuazarOmega,

I understand that, it’s definitely more of a headache than having a native package, but it is the next best thing you can do aside from waiting for the dev or someone else to package it for your distro of choice (you might be more lucky if you’re on an Arch based system, I’m sure an AUR package will be made if it hasn’t been done already).
The distrobox setup itself isn’t really that crazy either, once you have everything ready you’ll be able to run OBS as if it was installed on your host system since you can export the programs in your containers to have a desktop entry in your DE.

Now I was trying to get all that up and running, but I’m facing issues in the installation of the plugin and I don’t know what’s causing that exactly, it may be a mismatch in the distro I chose and which one the package was actually made for, I’ll report back if I find a solution, in the meantime here’s what I did:

Ah oops. Well, that second one looks very promising, I just saw the English setup video on it, but unfortunately it’s missing the OBS part so idk

QuazarOmega,

Yikes, that’s a strange requirement, but oh well, at least you got it working!
For reference, what guide did you end up following?

Firefox Got Faster for Real Users in 2023 (hacks.mozilla.org)

In order to measure the user experience, Firefox collects a wide range of anonymized timing metrics related to page load, responsiveness, startup and other aspects of browser performance. Collecting data while holding ourselves to the highest standards of privacy can be challenging. For example, because we rely on aggregated...

QuazarOmega,

More performance = more RAM to download

QuazarOmega,

Doesn’t Android have file based encryption by default since a while now?

QuazarOmega,

Ah I see, does that mean that in terms of security, switching to another ROM on a phone with non re-lockable bootloader is a downgrade from the stock ROM?

QuazarOmega,

Thanks for the info! I agree, without being able to outright change phone, you can only choose your tradeoffs

QuazarOmega,

Wow, didn’t expect it to happen so soon!

QuazarOmega,

Well yes, but seeing the history it has, I thought it would go through some more hiccups along the way, so it would actually take way more than that.
I’m glad to see I was wrong!

QuazarOmega,

So that’s the g spot’s twin

QuazarOmega,

That’s a little too wishful of a statement, freedom is guaranteed of course, but there is no rule that free software will be more private just by virtue of having its code be open. For instance many free apps will still include analytics (proprietary or not), it’s not the case with this one luckily

QuazarOmega,

Yes, you can do that, I just meant to say that privacy is not a given, no one stops from working towards it yourself

QuazarOmega,

God is doing you a favor :^)

QuazarOmega,

On that note, anyone has opinions on Njalla? They’re not exactly a registrar themselves, but are they good “proxies”, to maintain more privacy?

QuazarOmega,

Nice, did you have to give them any personal info?

QuazarOmega,

Thanks, that’s even better than I thought honestly

QuazarOmega,

Ah yes, the age old “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?”
