The reason why I love my #Vivaldi_browser and possibly you too

@netchami, well, FreeTube also is nice, I used it before, but I changed it, because more and more Videos are inplayable (YT also knows FreeTube). Invidious, yes, works fine most of the time (yewtube works the best), CloudTube is dead, PokeTube also works fine and even permits to download the video (mp4 or mp3),
@netchami, well the UI isn’t a problem, less in fullscreen, front-end like Piped, Invideous, PokeTube and others a lot of times fails because the instance is down or well, no couldn’t skip the YT block, no such problems in MotionBox, apart it can access videos and music from almost all streaming platforms, even from TikTok and Facebook, not only from YT.
Yes, the UI isn’t to anyone’s taste, but the operation is impeccable and blazing fast.
@netchami, anyway I’ve found a good(maybe the best) substitute for YT, take also an look on this, I love it.
@netchami, yes, the same as I have in the Vivaldi adblocker, but this is a continuo game of Cat and Mouse and uBO need to be updated almost dayly if it want to work, because YT anti-adblocker do it too.
This script works different, YT don’t even know that you watch the video with this, it’s like a front-end in the same YT page.
@netchami @FrenLivesMatter, or better, along with uBO, install Tamper-, Greasy or ViolentMonkey with this script, that solve the problem compleetly

A couple in an elegant restaurant in Texas. The waiter appears, dressed in a tailcoat with a bottle wrapped in a napkin: “Chateo de Sauce, 1985” and pours a little into the customer’s glass, the customer tastes it and nods. The Waiter leaves and the other couple says “Wow, you were right, really a high-class restaurant.”
“I already said it, and this was just the ketchup.”
@charles @OceanSoap, if you compare a first class coffee with shitty english teebags, maybe, A good Darjeeling FGOP is way more expensive than coffee per mg of caffeine.

@racsol @Viking_Hippie, Eliminating oil is not so simple and must start with stopping manufacturing SUVs and Supercars, eliminating continental flights and changing maritime traffic. That is where it fails, what’s more, on top of that the politics and lobbies promote them. They limit themselves to raising the prices of gasoline and diesel, making life impossible for transporters and consumers who see food prices, instead of skyrocketing instead of subsidizing fuel and ecological vehicles.

@GelatinGeorge, Animals may very well show empathy, altruism and compassion, as shown in countless cases (hippos helping a young zebra cross the river full of crocodiles, a bear saving a crow from drowning in a river, elephants obviously in mourning contemplations in front of skeletons of their species, etc.). This is not the difference, it is cruelty against one’s own or other species for pure fun and even sport, this is properly human behavior.
@GelatinGeorge @Sheeple, a crocodile chokes you before eating you, a big cat, a lion, suffocates you or breaks your neck, before eating, a hyena begins to eat your guts even though you are still alive, you die while he eats you. Is this more cruel? No, he lives in a pack where everyone is hungry and wants to eat right away, they don’t have time to kill you first.
Cruelty is a purely human concept.
@Sheeple @AllonzeeLV, Human cruelty and stupidity is what differentiates us from animals, apart from the iPhone.
Animals only act in accordance with survival in their corresponding environment. In nature there is no evil, only the motto: Survive as you can or know how, or die.
@Interstellar_1 @The_v, agree, I’ve used in the past Kubuntu along with Windows in Dual boot and in all the years I only needed the command line 2 times. In current Linux, at least in many distros, the command line is less and less necessary.

@ijeff, the one I use most is this one right in the browser, it save locally by default in Html (also PDF and Text) and you can copy a webpage in it without loosing the UI and links. Works also great in mobile and as PWA.
@netchami, i know, that is the problem from front-ends which use the YT API, they can be blocked, Invideous no, but FreeTube and others do, not a problem of decentralized or no, YT only need to blok the API and thats all, folks. With Invidious the only problem are the stability of the diferent instances. Motionbox use an another approach and also don’t use the API.
