New Pipe is not using youtube API: https://newpipe.net/FAQ/download/#download-youtube-api They are just acting as a browser, that’s why they can not forbid it legally.

At least that is on creator to choose, if I am botheres by those sponsored parts I will skip that creator.

A lot of them I don’t mind, or don’t have sponsors except patreon.

Most annoying thing with ads is they are loud and obnoxious. I listen to some nice quiet jazz and all of a sudden someone strats screaming for me to try some ice cream. Crazy.

Than I noticed how android devices don’t have mute button and wonder if this is in some contract.

It really depends on your needs. 3D printing community is very satisfied with FreeCAD, and GIMP is great for my needs when I need to find a way to increase visibility of some features in drone images and than make python script to repet it hundreds of times. No way I could do it in in PS. Making it run under wine already takes too much time.

And it is not only about money for license but about freedom.

I always see coments like this, and while I appreciate sharing of experience it is just being boring. At least add something specific and don’t be a bot.

Strange is using and marketing someone else’s name without written permission.

Why do you think linux distros and free software have such strange names? To avoid stepping on someone toes without expensive trademark research.

And relying on marketing by someone you don’t control is not good decision even if losing some mind share.

I am in the linux world 20+ years. Used SUSE for short amout of time back than and never really cared much about it, just glad it still exist.

This is the first time I am hearing openSUSE is not part od SUSE.

Having different name should be good for all. I think openSUSE people should have done it long time ago. But sounds like name is not the only problem.

I am clueless Europen, from here it looks like Biden already lost elections and that putting anyone else would mean that Trump will lose.

Than again, this might be just what media is selling me and people around me think.

I juat don’t understand why Democrats don’t nominate literally anyone else and win election, without risking Trump winning?

I don’t put this on some random people when real culprit is Democratic Party. It is almost like they want Trump to win.

I don’t have solution for videos, but I am moving back to podcasts and rss as much as possible. I want to be ready when they finally forbbid watching without ads.

But I must admit content creators are not helping, content for most of them become just job to be done with. I am aware it is not their fault and that yt is pushing them, but content is geting worse.

It is hard to compete with platform that is loosing so much money. They will also buy anyone who tries. Maybe if we start being satisfied with one resolution and quality, but that will never happen.

Not only that, I am certain Google will put as much money as needed into it not to allow any competing platform.

YT is not profitable, but gives them data, power and control.

Blink twice if someone is holding you hostage.

Yeah, and he is not pretending. He is taking publicly about price for him to show up in music video. I can imagine this is probably similar, someone payed him to use his name on dog products. He got some money and doesn’t care.

They are not PR people, don’t expected that of just normal people having fun. No one is promising “chrome killer coming in six months”.

Thig is that for SerenityOS they want to make everything from scratch, ssh, ssl, libraries, utils, text editor… even the browser. They could have just porr Firefox, but that was not the point. To use it you had to complile whole OS.

But since browser got some attention and sone complex sites (like guthub and twitter) started working in it, to make project more viable they are dropping this constraint for browser. I guess they migt use some gui library, ssl lib, codecs… stuff like that. But, I expect, they will not use others code for rendering engine and js, but continue with implementation from documentation.

While some in this thread say they are racist, homophobic and stuff. Maybe some are maybe just not polished for public speak, do we really think everyone in google is totally clean?

I almost looks like your “democrats” are not actually democrats…

It actually exists and is being developed for the last three yeras. But you have to compile it by youself. Just a way to prevent people from having expectations, but a lot of modern sites are working in it. Some errors, a bit slow, but they have rendering engine, css parser, js implementation and are working closely with w3c - they have found some bugs in the standard since they are implementing it directly.

Great and useful project, I don’t know if it will become real competition to firefox and chrome, but I guess it will get traction. A lot of people want new browser, some of them have money.

I always wondered why they haven’t been doing it from the start, seams like it is not as simple as I imagine.

People will take it, there is no other option and G is working hard not to allow another video platform.

Problem is ads they are playing are awful and loud. We will make way to silent them and black them out, it is not hard.

Bigger problem is content they are pushing is getting bad and is pushing creators into burnout. And I don’t want to see videos companies are creating, but want individual contributions.

I just need it to mute and unmute it. Maybe also put black mask over video.

This is news from September and linked blog post from December. Nothing happened.

It still costs money for hardware and hosting. Scraping web and training AI ain’t cheap.

There are parts of the world not EU and US. They would all benefit from cheap panels.

But EU and US are not really important: https://www.statista.com/statistics/668749/regional-distribution-of-solar-pv-module-manufacturing/ they account only for few percent of solar photovoltaic module production.
