They thought Apple was their friend.

Great, now the AI is going to have permanent youtube clickbait face.
You Won't BELIEVE What I Just Hallucinated!
Apple’s AI won’t stop adding useless arrows pointing to the central focus of an image.
:o
I would suggest Peertube but the current leadership is not the best. I respect what they are trying to do but they are treating it like a hobby project and focusing on France. We need a separate org dedicated to it.
SELF HOST.
That is all.
Self host YouTube?
Do you own YouTube?
I do, but we're not talking about me though. We're talking about this guy trying to watch YouTube. And you're telling him to self host. Lol
Greyjay
I like my software libre and free
Me too, so where's the libre alternative?
Newpipe, Libretube and Clipious just to name a few
Literally all of those depend on YouTube as a host. Grayjay is like an RSS reader for any hosts. The point is to get away from centralized control.
Libretube uses piped and Clipious uses Invidious both of which are not directly Youtube. All of those are also Foss. Grayjay is not Foss and thus should be avoided. You also can use Newpipe as it supports few of other services but I never understood the need for a everything app.
Never understood the point of an RSS reader that points you towards self hosted things?
It isn't a RSS reader in the least
Well not for RSS it isn't, but the function of it is the same. Follow people, not platforms.
Stick to your effectively proprietary app then
First off, it's open source, and secondly, it's more important that users and content are not tied to a centralized figure to give them all the power of discrimination and censorship. Get the fuck off your high horse.
It is source available not open source or libre. The license strips away the 4 software freedoms. It is just as "open source" as the Windows XP source code leak.
Did you actually read the license?
To expand, unlike a free software license where you are free to create a fork, if FUTO stop supporting it you're fucked
It says you're free to make your own edits for non-commercial use though right? Is that not the same?
What if you want to accept donations to continue development? Is that commercial use? Does the license explicitly allow it?
It isn't a free software license. (Yes I did read the license and it is not free software compatible)
You a big RMS fan? I'm a big Louis Rossmann fan.
Honestly you should be neither. "Influencers" and other popular characters should not tell you what to do. I am speaking from the perspective of the free software community. FUTO seems to think they can just solve all the problems but the issue is that the create brand new ones. For instance, the ability to fork the code is very important. A license should not restrict a developers ability to fork and make derivative works. A good example of this is Simple Mobile Tools. Simple Mobile tools was bought out by a Iranian ad firm (somehow) and they of course didn't care to maintain the community and were set on making it profitable. It was forked and it is now called Fossify. The F-droid team initial suspended the app from further updates but after the intentions of the new owner became clear they went ahead and replaced it with the fork. This wouldn't of happened under the FUTO source available model. They want you to only get software from the original creator. It feels a whole lot like the business license that is also non free
Louis Rossmann doesn't tell me what to think. He's just better at saying what I already think. I don't think developers should have to give up control over their projects. I just think the software should be able to be vetted and serviceable. FUTO's way is a good way to manage the funding they're doing, and I suspect they'll likely go libre later in the cycle.
Btw, the sync app is making me have to read vertically this far down the thread. If you wanna reply again, I'd prefer a PM.
I am dragging this out as I am curious how deep it will go.
It is already a tiny column
Bro. This is the one comment that broke it. 🤪🤪😂🤣🤪😭💀
They're lucky anything even watched their trash.
Still not the creator's fault, it's the fault of the companies that do it. Why would they believe that companies they grew up trusting would steal their content? I thought Apple was supposed to be so great? I guess they're POS just like the rest of them.

No one should grow up fully trusting any company to this extent.

Yes, exactly.
Always have been.
Steve Jobs might have been great at marketing, but he was not a nice person.
not a nice person
That's a weird way to spell asshole.
I did not want his cult members to chase me down...
Google tells everyone at their AI conferences that every frame in every you tube video is automatically indexed with image key tags to help the Google AI learn from every video ever uploaded.
They have the largest database second to none at this point.
every company would destroy everything in their path and exploit everything they can to get money. AI apparently being the new goldmine, you should expect everything to be used to train AI.
Their approach to making it more difficult to upgrade and replace parts that could lead to hardware being used longer to reduce ewaste made them not seem all too altruistic long ago. Nice OS and stocks though.
