Privacy respecting alternative to Youtube

I need a more privacy-oriented alternative to Youtube. I have try Odysee, which open-source but it has to do with tokens and that seems to me like crypto, which I don’t like. I have heard about Newpipe but this only for Android. Can you recommend me one that is also for the web and optionally open-source?...

Add SmartTube for Android/Google/Fire TV on there too :D

Well uhhhhhhh, when my "laptop"s plug is pulled out or the power goes out, it's dead :D. might need a battery change or an ups...

Linux Mint is the easiest one from the list, but all of them except Solus are fine. I personally recommend Mint or Debian, Debian Sid if you want latest kernel.

No, I don't really need it.

KDE should work fine, maybe with a bit of tweaking?

I thought about that too. If that doesn't work out, Xfce/LXDE/LXQT it is.

Well, uhh, these requirements. But idk.

Yeah I've heard Arch is lightweight, but that might happen in like 5 years :D

Proton Mail encrypts the content of the mails, not the subject. So even if it is a Proton Mail-to-Proton Mail conversation the subject is not encrypted. Skiff also encrypts the subject of the mail in a Skiff-to-skiff conversation.

you know, i kinda over-saturated the positives of skiff now that i read this thing again, it feels like an advert. But I am in no way affliated with Skiff, I haven't even signed up yet, I just listed their services and positives.

I should have signed up and tested it for a bit, that's my bad, I apologize.

That's a very big downside if you want to use them as your e-mail provider, yes.

Hmm, I see, my bad.
They do encrypt the subject and recipient/sender's e-mails but they are not e2ee.
Thanks for the correction.

As far as I know their e-mail client, Windows app, UI and some other smaller stuff is open source. Their backend is not. That's kind of a big concern.

I wrote this because I liked their services (because of their features) and wanted to know the community's opinion on them.
I don't really remember how I found out about them, but I think it was an article or video.
I wouldn't consider this thing I wrote "extensive", other than the Proton competitor stuff, I just listed some stuff on their website and some of my opinions.

Yeah it's kind of useless. The apps you listed are available, but for example Newgrounds is banned.

IDK about the second thing about the encrypted apps, but I would expect them to do it. But some people have been jailed for criticizing Erdogan.

and IDK what place Turkey is, but yeah it has a very high number.

Erdogan pls don't put me in jail

For example, who you texted, when and where you texted, for how long you texted etc etc
those are not encrypted.

Well, Meta can still do their practices though. And I fear it will be even worse since they can know when you texted, who you texted, where you texted, for how long you texted in WA and i fear this will spread to other platforms too.

I'm really concerned about this.

"ah yes, sweet metadata of other people who don't even use our products."

I knew they were very data-hungry, but NOT THAT MUCH.

Yeah, they are in alot of websites. Buat now, even if you block trackers on your browser aggresively and use apps without fb tracking etc. etc. your data will still be collected by fb with this thing.

One alternative is going offline :D
