Chat Control got forced through the backdoor, btw.

DSL or one of the Puppy flavors.

There's only like, one viable instance though: inv.nadeko.net.

A RISC-V equivalent might be better in terms of hardware openness.

Assuming mirroring isn't borked by that aforementioned DRM.

At least Meta straight-up admitted to grifting people, Google has yet to do so.

I laughed way harder than I should've at that.

Age-gated vids have been login-walled for a while now, non-age-gated stuff is still viewable while logged out and through alt front-ends, for now.

I won't put it past Google to fully login-wall YT at some point in the future though, or even worse, put DRM on it so that it's only watchable through Chrome on Android, or Chrome or Edge on Windows, and non-Android and non-Windows OSes, and non-Chrome/Edge browsers are blocked, as well as alt front-ends and downloaders, and even mirroring to competing platforms.

Invidious mainly, and that doesn't use any YT accounts, it's the equivalent of watching YT logged out.

Also, Grayjay lets you log in through it but that probably doesn't bypass the age check if you're KYC'd.

If you're an active creator yourself though or even if you only have a few vids you made years ago that are still up, I'd set up PeerTube, Odysee, or both, and post those there while you still can, though.

One more reason to use an alt front-end, and clear/disable your watch/view history and not log into YT directly anymore, at least while you still can.

Linux of course, it's been headlining lately in terms of improvements particularly on the gaming front, but also FreeBSD based on how quickly it's been moving in terms of improvements on the general desktop front, FreeBSD is at the point where it's a viable third option on the desktop if you're not gaming, although that's assuming you're running its CURRENT branch since that's where the latest development happens.

You know things are getting bad when two governments are on your case about your patent trolling, Nintendo.

 

So, why are there so many posts asking 'Can I do this with AI, can I do that with AI' popping up on here recently? I thought most of the Fediverse would've been anti-AI based on its general demographics.

So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.

This reeks of DRM.

UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.

UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.

Pikachu and Buneary are going on an art date at a splatter painting place. They splattered each other a little bit in addition to the giant canvas hanging on the wall.

'...Bring puddle-stomping joy.'

 

The bunnies started showing up during the day again, and I snapped a random pic of one.

'So I've had this idea for a while, but I wanted to depict Togekiss extending one of her wings out for other Pokemon, in this case, Pichu, Togepi, and Igglybuff, to climb onto her so she could take them on a little trip to a park.'

'Igglybuff playing hopscotch. There's some random chalk art on the sidewalk as well.'

'I also gave her a little crown.'

'Happiny is chilling on the back deck, decorating her stone that she keeps in her pouch to look like a mini-me of herself.'

'There's glitter spilled out both on Happiny herself and in front of her although that might not shoe up very well, and I also posed her with her tongue sticking out because I thought it'd be a cute touch.'

'Also, at least this is out back and not indoors or else the Pokemon daycare would have a heck of a time cleaning all that glitter up.'
