Did you say thanks ? No? Go lay your own…

“I love you… er…no I don’t…ok I do… nah I don’t think so…”

Yes.

Honestly, before reading this comment I never noticed that BlueSky shortens to BS, lol

If you have seen that StarTalk episode, do you remember what Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s response to that? He seems like good people…

I will try to do an ELI5.

Piped is what is known as a “proxy”, or rather an interface to YouTube.

There is a very popular piece of code called NewPipeExtractor, which is used to scrape data from the YouTube website.

Piped utilizes NewPipeExtractor to set up an “intermediary”, a proxy website that looks and feels pretty much like YouTube.

The good thing about watching videos through the Piped proxy site is that YouTube doesn’t get to know your IP address. Which is why it is very popular among privacy advocates.

That is it in a nutshell. If interested, you will find more information in their GitHub page.

Hope this helped.

Aww Rudy…

I do watch videos from YouTube because of its massive content, but I tend to use invidious or piped links - because I don’t want to provide YT any more traffic than they need.

Reputation is a perishable commodity. It is very hard to replenish it once gone.

Xwitter and Reddit understood it the hard way. Even if Unity goes back to exactly where they were before this ruckus - people will think twice before trusting them again.

Biffle baffles me…

Nope, I didn’t. But they all being A-holes, show no sign of digging their own graves like Reddit, X, and Unity did.

Guess they are supervillains then, lol.

Reddit, Xwitter, Unity…what next in the queue of “let me fuck myself” ?

So true

“Show me the money!”

Desanctimonius…
