I like your approach

FreeTube doesn’t use the YouTube API. Quote from their website:

FreeTube grabs data by scraping the information it needs (with either local methods or by optionally utilizing the Invidious API).

Neither Invidious, nor Piped, NewPipe or FreeTube use the YouTube API.

NewPipe has a component called NewPipeExtractor which scrapes the data from YouTube.

LibreTube uses Piped which uses the NewPipeExtractor.

Invidious scrapes the data from YouTube.

FreeTube can either scrape the data from YouTube or use Invidious.

YT also knows FreeTube

But they can’t really do anything about it, unless they start requiring you to log in in order to watch videos…

They sent a cease and desist letter to Invidious, but that’s all they can do. It’s practically impossible to block Invidious because it’s completely decentralized. The Invidious instances only pull metadata, the video stream is actually pulled in by the client.

Piped has some issues because Google tries to IP-ban all Piped instances, but Invidious actually pulls the content through the client, not on the server so it should work flawlessly. I also never had any issues with FreeTube.

I’ve seen this recommendation a couple of times. In my opinion, the MotionBox UI just looks terrible. I prefer Piped or Invidious for watching YouTube. You can use these in combination with LibRedirect to automatically redirect all YouTube links to these alternative front-ends. FreeTube is pretty good if you need a desktop app. I love LibreTube on Android, NewPipe is another option. There’s also Yattee with this guide on iOS and SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

Ok that sounds interesting, I’m gonna check it out

uBlock Origin has built-in bypass mechanisms. No extra userscripts required. Other extensions or scripts might interfere with uBO though. You also need to use Firefox or a Firefox fork like LibreWolf because Chrome soon won’t support MV2 anymore which is required for proper ad-blocking.

Use Firefox, LibreWolf or Mull with uBlock Origin to bypass this shit.

Obviously that was not entirely serious, but in combination with all the other shit that is incredibly expensive nowadays a $700 charge might actually put some people in financial trouble

Damn, imagine you really need it on Thursday… Get ready to file for bankruptcy.

Fuck Spez

Affinity Designer is an Illustrator alternative, Affinity Photo is their Photoshop competitor and Affinity Publisher is an InDesign clone. The company that makes the Affinity products is called Serif. Hope this helps to clarify.

It emphasizes that free refers to freedom, not price.

+1 for using XMR

Also donate to your instance!

No I think pre requisite to being a priest is being a pdfile. /S

Nothing about Microsoft is professional.

I will never understand why people liked Windows XP, I’d rather use Gentoo Linux from 2002 compiled from a stage 1 tarball than this steaming pile of shit. Windows 7 was solid, but 10 was (again) the biggest piece of garbage. Horrible UWP UI, Cortana, the garbage Windows Store, the Windows Phone integration, the useless Xbox app, the shitty version of OneNote, crappy MS Edge, Candy Crush ads in the fucking start menu and tons of data collection. Oh yeah, what a great operating system!
