I liked Opt Out a lot, but in recent years it has quite few episodes. It’s main topic is privacy and related technologies, in every episode they have a guest related to the current topic.

One more step
Please complete the security check to access
And also to explicitly feed garbage when the useragent is that of the googlebot. And while we are at it, do the same with a few other UAs too. You know which I mean.
Of course, that may not be feasible for everyone, but I do know that my visitors are not coming from google.
Using another frontend shifts the data profile but it still exists and provides value to them.
I wouldn’t care if they would only keep aggregate statistics, not stats about individual users, and when watching through a public frontend my usage blends in with that of many other people.
The first two have web pages and phone apps. You can find the phone apps on F-droid.
Fun fact: did you know that the youtube app on your TV is just a no-effort web browser with a URL fixed to a web page, which you could even use on your PC?
Which does not solve the webcam’s mic, which (to me) is a bigger issue because it does not only record who’s in the from of the machine, but also the whole surrounding area.
Ok, I hear you. But here’s the secret: I don’t want to use a webcam at all. If you want to see me, agree to a physical meetup. Obviously that’s not the only reason.
Unfortunately that’s not an option. Youtube has not only host “fun” videos, but repair videos, learning materials and even university course learning materials, none of them to be found elsewhere.
Are you from Hungary?
At a lot of places that’s not a question of choice.
Aaand if they allow downloading select files, it’s most probably not encrypted either.
Important clarification: snapshots only make backups faster if you do backups with zfs send
, or with other filesystems they have the appropriate command too.
Everything gets a different, long random password. It’s not a hassle because my password manager handles everything. It’s bitwarden for whatever I may need to access elsewhere, few admin logins there, keepass everything else.
The money is needed for funding the police to implement chat control’s and going dark’s enforcement.
Unfortunately that fee won’t stop google’s endless thirst for data mining and it’s manipulation through “personalized recommendations”, and through ads on any other website and mobile apps.
But to be serious, this might be at actual risk to those who are logged in. They were locking out users of their whole google accounts for less, including their emails and the uploaded files to drive.
- Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.
That is the best part of it! A very welcome change! Basically the first step of becoming an independent creator, and to being able to abandon youtube for any of them.
Ever more reason to switch to Linux sooner than later. Otherwise, Windows 10 LTSC or Pro for Workstation.
This is just my theory, but maybe they want to turn it all into android-levels of lockdown for even stricter DRM and such.
I’m interested, how that works?
