Only game I care about from Microsoft is Halo Wars 2. Shame it got released as a UWP application.

I would hate that for whatever service that is for,

It’s the provincial governments authentication service for Canadians, if you ever used GCKey it’s essentially the same thing but provincial opposed to federal.

It allows ease of access to things like medical records, tax records, license renewals and such.

Alberta has their own system similar to this.

the only Google service I knowingly use is Youtube

Might I suggest Invidious as an alternative, you can host your own that way only 1 device on your network needs to contact YouTube directly or you can use one that is public.

Mine is accessible to Canadians at https://inv.halstead.host/, prohibited to the rest of the world so rate limiting isn’t a huge issue for me.

I also know there is a script you can set up which will handle the initial contact to federate automatically.

I tried finding such a script but had no luck. I was able to export my subscription list from sh.itjust.works and imported it on my instance.

I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe to the communities I follow as I was experiencing the ‘Subscribe Pending’ issue but after a little while things seemed to start evening out and becoming a bit more stable.

My instance has been online for about a month, the supplied docker-compose.yaml was quite straightforward, had a little headache with Nginx but nothing overly complicated.

The long-con so to speak is federation, you have to subscribe to each community manually to begin federating with them, i have noticed timing issues with other instances such as Lemmy.world and have not been able to resolve them.

join the EU’s new system or create our own.

Tell that to the Government of British Columbia;

The phrase “Off with their head” is about to be hip again.

Redlib is great but has not seen a new release in over a year, the maintainer who took over the Libreddit project is clearly burnt out.

Suggest following this GitHub issue as folks have created forks of Redlib.

Chiming back in 3 hours later, just downloaded the latest release from Freetubes website, i can confirm that with my invidious instance that everything seems to be working fine. While my invidious instance is a private one, ill share it with you in the meantime until your normal setup gets back in order, shoot me a DM.

I’m not home to verify my Freetube however, I just checked my invidious instance and can confirm that the first video I attempted to play errored.

I am updating my Invidious instance to see if it still persists, perhaps the instances you’re using are out of date, I know invidious updates quite frequently to stay on-top of YouTube changes.

Edit; Updating invidious appeared to resolve my errors, I can only assume the instances you’re using are out of date. I’ll check Freetube when I get home.

Freetube is capable of utilizing the Invidious APi and provides more functions such as sponsor blocking or click-bait thumbnail removal.

Lots of customization features that I highly suggest pairing with Invidious.

Freetube either runs off of YouTube’s APi directly or an Invidious API to proxy requests to Youtube, how is your application configured? If you’re using Invidious have you tried another instance?

Have you read any of the issue reports on their GitHub? it seems like issue #9526 might be what you’re looking for.

Depends on the instance, some can say “hey don’t index us” whereas others can say “hey index us so we grow”, each instance admin has that decision however search engines can ignore the request to not index and do it anyways.
