  • NewPipe is a YouTube frontend (on android), it’s like invidious minus the “instance” part, where it basically just grabs the video directly and just plays that. With NewPipe the video still gets views on YouTube’s end, I don’t think videos watched through invidious count towards the view count on YouTube’s end.

    Freetube is something that I’ve seen and/or heard of once or twice; because of that, I can’t really say what it is. It’s definitely something that is either like NewPipe or Invidious. (I have only heard about it once or twice due to being a Linux user (I use Arch BTW) and stubling upon it’s github repo.)

    I really only ever watch YouTube on my phone and because I’m an Android user, I have heard of NewPipe and been aware of it for quite a while. Invidious I know about for kind of the same reason. There’s an Android app called LibreTube that is basically a frontend for Piped. (Piped is either an alternative to Invidious or is an instance of Invidious, or just straight up uses Invidious as like a backend. Don’t entirely remember)



  • “The Game” is a mind virus. The trick is that when you think of The Game you lose. When you lose The Game you must announce to the nearest people “I lost The Game,” thus ensuring it spreads. There is no quiting and no winning. Your only hope is everyone in existence forgets about it.

    It blew up in popularity back in the 2008~2010 era of the internet when everything was cringe humor and lol random




  • So if Gabe suceeds, we get a gaming ecosystem with different hardware sellers, all using a platform that other software sellers are not blocked from using (Linux)? And the only reason Valve wins, is because they invested into providing the best possible distribution platform on Linux?

    Yes. 100% correct


    I would also like to add that I think the main reason for the Steam Deck running Linux is because Gabe Newell himself has literally stated that he loves Linux and FOSS, which results in only Gabe, but the majority, if not all, of Valve wanting Linux to be a the gaming platform that it deserves to be. It also the reason why Valve forked WINE and made Proton.

    I’m an Android user, but luckily I never really got lost in google’s sauce.

    I’m pretty sure I used Chrome early on in my Android days but not for very long.

    Currently, and for the foreseeable future, my primary browser on Android is Firefox Nightly and I do run firefox on all my computers (I do use Linux).
