It’s true. I use Brave as well. They have several novel privacy features that no one else does. And although the company has a checkered history, I still think it’s the best (for now). I just wish more FOSS devs would take notes and implement these privacy features in other browsers.

There are plenty of music services that aren’t trying to do that.

Yeah I’ll never forget the first time I saw someone just casually browsing IMGUR and I was like WTF are you doing?

They’ve had the first 3 for a while

I am not misunderstanding you. You just do not understand what E2EE means. Th server is not a sender or a recipient. It is not an “end”.

Oh, I didn’t realize they said they wouldn’t sell your information, despite having a privacy policy that explicitly allows for it. My mistake. No one would just lie on the internet like that…

You’re very brave to make such a suggestion around here.

Unfortunately YouTube Premium doesn’t solve any of the horrendous problems YouTube has. Using a third party client is the only thing that does.

I don’t have an “anchor point” other than what’s what’s fair and respectful of your customers. “We’re going to collect as much data about you as we can to sell to advertisers” is neither.

I’m so fucking sick and tired of everyone saying “WELL EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT TOO!” as if that’s any sort of defense. The world is fucked. You do you but I’m gonna do whatever I can not to contribute to it.

Pretty much “we collect as much data as we can and sell it to data brokers/advertising companies to be used to target you for advertising.”

It’s not YouTube drama, it’s international trade drama.

Yes, that’s the problem.

Honestly Brave News is the only solution I’ve found for that. Just go to Brave search and search for “news”. It will aggregate the top stories of the day, group the different sources, then provide an AI generated digest of the stories upon request.

I love that he responded to their takedown request by releasing an entire video about Bloomberg and their shitfuckery.

Nebula is a shithole, just have a glance at their privacy policy.

Floatplane would be ideal but I think he burned that bridge.

PeerTube is probably his best bet.

I don’t want to see his channel deleted but I’m also VERY interested in what would take place in the aftermath…

I mean the lite version was created specifically because of Manifest V3, which iOS does not have.

Yes but the question is why?

Sounds like a job for XMPP

This is way overkill for these applications. A low end mobile Intel processor will do all these things well and use much less power.

I run all of this and much more on an N100.
