I’ve heard of piped due to the piped-link bot, but I am curious about others.

      Friendly reminder that Grayjay is only source-available.

      FUTO Temporary License (FTL) violates the following open-source principles:

      • Open source licenses must allow free redistribution. FTL allows license suspension and termination at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.
      • Open source licenses must allow source code distribution. FTL allows restrictions to access the code at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.
      • Open source licenses must allow modifications. FTL allows modifications only for non-commercial use, or maybe not even that. FTL dodges the word modifications here, no clue.
      • Open source licenses must explicitly allow distribution of software built from modified source code. FTL forbids distribution of software built from modified source code for commercial use.
      • Open source licenses must not discriminate against persons/groups and fields of endeavor. FTL allows license suspension and termination at any time, without notice, for any or no reason.

      The FTL enables the following practices:

      • Copyright holders can change the license terms.
      • Copyright holders can re-license everything.
      • Copyright holders can target specific groups and individuals with discriminatory license terms.
      • Copyright holders can close source everything.
      • Copyright holders can forbid specific groups and individuals from using their work.

      My main gripe here is that the video sells a source-available software with severe usage restrictions as open-source. These restrictions may sound reasonable to people outside of the open-source world, especially to people who use similar wording in their own terms of service, but nobody would touch your software with a ten foot pole with a software license like that.

        I almost switched to iPhone, thankfully this came out to show me why that is a bad idea. I just need to de-gpogle.

          Wait, why would this one app currently only being available on Android make switching a bad idea? Seems like a weird thing to base a decision that big on…

            It’s more about the ability for such apps to exist. Other apps include Tachiyomi (manga reader) and similar apps that are not allowed because of the app stores terms of service.

            Hopefully Apple will soon be forced to allow such apps to exist outside of their store. Freedom to install what I want is a main reason I switched back from an iPhone to a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

                Thanks for the link. I’m surprised it survived Apple’s review process as I thought such apps weren’t allowed. Now I have a private YouTube altednative to recommend.

                Tachiyomi relies on installing sources as additional apks because otherwise they’d have to update the app daily. This is not allowed on Play/App Store.

                YouTube ReVanced and other patched apps are also great and not obviously not possible on iOS bexlcause of restrictions.

          If you plan to get a new phone, get a Google Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it. By default, it doesn’t have any Google spyware services. It also has substantial security improvements compared to normal Android. It’s probably the most private and secure mobile operating system that currently exists.

      Yow! that looks pretty awesome. I installed it and added the Nebula plugin… wonder if there’s a CuriosityStream one as well?

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
