Wasn't there some legal case going on that could rule Youtube downloaders illegal as consequence? Feels like the two moves compliment each other, and with so many complimentary coincidences going on recently, it sounds ever more like the saying that goes like, when coincidences are too frequent, chances are they aren't.

NewPipe and PipePipe to my knowledge bring together different services, not just Youtube. There's also Grayjay in this vein.

And about supporting creators, I'd seek other means to support them, like bank transfers, Patreon, referrals, etc.

Alas, for the scope of this prose, such terminology shall suffice.

Games with the biggest budget, no?

Usually smaller games seem to be DRM-free from my experience, even when the platform facilitates and incentivizes DRM usage. And these smaller games are also the majority of games.

From what I read on discussions on the matter, apparently the resources needed for instances to talk to individual ones is proportionally much higher.

However, I'd argue most people using the fediverse seem to be fine using medium to large instances, so the impact seems to be a diminishing one.

And agreed it's a form of independence. Besides and extrapolating from owning what you share, censorship, if/when it happens, at most is done at federation level, not on instance level, meaning it's much harder for someone to sabotage the single-user for wrongthink or a potential (and if the user is honest, accidental) fuck up.

This Emmi fellow, using mass graves as strawman argument it seems. Also, wasn't proof of the mass graves for indigenous people never provided?

If they are bots, they've been running for well over a decade, close to two perhaps. The other possibility is that Youtube simply historically doesn't foster in-depth comments.

Grayjay doesn't allow adding comments to Youtube, only to their own protocol.

To consider the possibility is part of accepting that it will happen, making it much easier to actually happen. First, I think, people should pressure so it doesn't get to pass, as they seem to be against it. If the worst scenario does come, then people can consider what's the least bad route of actions.

For signal cords, I get signal switches and make a "tree" of cables, as I have far less screens than devices that use them. For energy cords, I try to keep everything as linear as possible, though that requires either enough space, some creativity for going around objects, or both. Also in places cables have a tendency to spread and I don't need them separated, I get some small rope to tie them together. For mobile devices, I try to find rigid EVA bags (or whatever's the name in English) to keep them, as they don't need to be on constantly and bags if that material are sturdy and absorb impact well, while keeping dust out. And shipping cardboard boxes that are articulated I keep to use as storage chests.

I'll check later if these are the correct names and if I can't confirn, I'll give examples.

Probably Very Little Nightmares and Sea of Stars.
