This is cool, so I could theoretically just set up a Plex/Jellyfin library and not need a youtube account?

I like how in Discovery a character came out as non-binary and everyone is like "ok cool" and that was that and it was never brought up again (because why would it be)?

You can tell by the absolute meltdown conservative spaces had about that five second clip that it was absolutely the right thing to do.

This was pretty clear in 2016, glaringly obvious in 2021, and Trump himself explicitly said being a dictator on day one was a goal in 2024.

But I'm sure another think piece won't hurt!

They seem to be working on uh, syncing all the sync features. There have been some updates recently.

My understanding is that it wasn't so much his "choice in tools" it was privacy concerns surrounding that choice.

I think CWA is the one to watch. It's progress has been slower but steady.

Crazy. It had a meteoric rise.

I guess CWA is the one to use now. In a way I'm glad the space will have only a single major player.

What you're looking for is called an "Alternative frontend". I'm not aware of a working one for Facebook but it might be worth searching around!

Damn 99% of the time someone says not to use an open source product it's because of some obscure drama unrelated to the actual program.

But in this case the dev appears to not just be using AI code (not great but debatable) but using mostly AI code and using AI to reply to bug reports. Not something the average person wants to be running in a live environment.

I haven't used Booklore but the excitement around it was nudging me there. I think I'll stick with CWAs slower rollout.

That's not a reason to consider CWA unsafe

My friend told me recently about TizenTube which is a youtube app with adblock/sponsorblock for Samsung TVs
