Newpipe, an YouTube client, which is:

• ad free

• lightweight

• useful, it allows downloading videos, music, and playing them when screen is locked

• usable without account

• multi-platform, it can also serve as client for the PeerTube, Bandcamp, SoundCloud

Yes, but most users will exercise their freedom to ignore such distros.

Ah, these pesky Arch users. I use Fedora BTW.

Compared to Xbox OS, Windows is very free.

VPN is better for torrents right now (clearnet torrents and speed), but I2P is free, decentralized and anonymous by design. I2P has small torrent selection, and small speed (or maybe my firewall was slowing me down), but it gets better, more people use it.

Enough.

You can customize starting abilities to avoid unwanted ones.

I’m a former Windows user, so I install activate-linux for similar experience.

Sorry, downvoted anyway.

Rad.

Yes, but account/instance would need to actively research which instances are rogue, and beware of them. It could be solved by creating tool which would automatically detect this vulnerability feature.

I wouldn’t call it Pixelfed’s vulnerablility, but a reminder that nothing on Fediverse is private. Even if Pixelfed is fixed, someone can create rogue instance to read other’s private posts.

Ah yes, of course other generations are much better with technology than today’s teens.

True, Fediverse gives us freedom. Glad, that You enjoy it.

Btw, Bluesky isn’t really decentralized, but it’s still better than X. Freer alternative would be Mastodon. Thankfully Lemmy is decentralized, and thanks to ActivityPub, from here you can interact with Mastodon posts, or other compatible fediverse platforms.

It’s good to see Lemmy’s mythos expanding.

Basically chat skin for email with encryption.

Maybe there is other I2P tracker, which accepts clearnet trackers. But even if you use Postman, I think you can still seed on clearnet, you would be discoverable by DHT.

It needs to have I2P trackers, most popular one is http://tracker2.postman.i2p/announce.php, and it doesn’t accept clearnet trackers. Once you download and configure I2P, seeding should be easy, because there is a torrent client included in the install.

Guide to config your browser, after you run the I2P. https://geti2p.net/en/about/browser-config

Maybe something on I2P, to help grow the network.

To procrastinate.
