Libretube doesn’t work very well for me :(
You should delete Windows from your computer and install Arch instead. Nothing can possibly go wrong. And if it does, it’s your fault for being a clueless noob.
install Arch
Filthy fucking casual. Linux from scratch
Sorry, my blessed machine will only ever know the holy embrace of TempleOS.
OK well TempleOS is definitely also acceptable
Don’t mind this pitchfork up your butt for showing a windows screenshot :3
If you are complaining about Windows but refuse to install e.g. Linux Mint or Ubuntu it really is on you and you should not expect others to waste their time
Me whenever someone posts a link to Catbox.moe that doesn’t ever fucking load:
I used catbox to post videos to my community and just now realized many people couldn’t even see the videos. Any good alternatives?
I keep hearing this but I have somehow never got a catbox.moe link that failed to load. Its usually pretty damn quick for me too
In my experience, this is often an ISP thing. As an example, my mobile carrier just blocks catbox completely. So, I won’t get images to load until I turn on the vpn.
I think it’s just getting overwhelmed by traffic to the site cuz it’s more likely to load at certain times than others more than any other variable.
Please just post simple YouTube links. It’s so much easier to just have them automatically open in LibreTube on my end than try to de-cruft the video link you were trying to share from whatever shoddy workaround you tried to implement.
Essential tools for those who need them:
Also Libredirect if you are using it in the browser
And the chance that you invidious instance will break is quite a hit higher that YT will
And original links will probably be longer alive. (Even though you can deconstruct them)
And for Firefox & Chromium there’s LibRedirect which works for a ton of different sites, including YouTube. You often do have to hop between instances to find one that works because they keep getting blocked (and some of the services they list don’t even have working privacy frontends anymore), but the extension makes it easy
I only recently learned that piefed actually has some decrufting built into the codebase directly. So, a user could make a post sharing a huge ugly youtube url, but it will be cleaned up when the post is made.
FWIW, this is the consensus in every thread I’ve seen the issue raised. And it’s not just because it’s the “lazy” option that everyone’s used to.
It also happens to be the most obvious solution to both (1) the more-technical user’s need for a canonical reference from which to redirect to their preferred frontend, and (2) the less-technical user’s need for a link that “just works” by default.
The criticism that it allows more traffic to YouTube is valid, but forcing traffic to a particular frontend/instance seems to create new problems for basically everyone, including instance admins who often aren’t prepared for major traffic spikes.
You’re really going to be sore if a Feddit.it user discovers that you’re from Ontario.
What’s the tea between Ontarians and Feddit.it?
I am deeply unsettled by learning this, and I’m not sure why.
Eh the only thing wrong with it is the common pairing with sweet ham. Do chicken (for savory) or pepperoni (for salty) as the meat instead, and (if you can handle it) jalapenos for heat to complete the salty/savory-sweet-spicy trifecta, and you have one of the best pizzas money can buy.
At least it wasn’t dear Quebec.
Sure, a lot of people are nitpicks, but people really love to take offense at being corrected or clarified, even politely.
It’s a sharp contrast compared to posting on Reddit.
Where everyone expressing anything other than samethink gets banned?
