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

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

Well, it's more privacy-focused, feels like home, and it's not hard to get used to and it's not a data-hungry company like Meta or Google. Also Other platforms i tested didn't really fit right with me.

Just had my first interaction with Meta Services last night. Thought I'd share what I learned.

I was up late last night and we know how that goes - rabbit holes. This time I was trying to find some ways to make my phone feel a little snappier and possibly eliminate the issue I was having where my recent apps button stops working until I restart the phone. On Android 13 I found that if I changed to gesture based navigation...

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

Privacy with Google's Gboard (lemm.ee)

The only app I can’t live without. Except for gboard, all of my applications are Foss. There is no competition for gboard’s swipe typing, not to mention its many capabilities like as searching for gifs, stickers, being able to paste copied images, translating, and so on. I’d like to know how I can use gboard while...

OpenBoard, Florisboard, AnySoftKeyboard

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES, PEOPLE!

Well, Mull is more like a "Librewolf for Android", I (think) it is more privacy-focused than Fennec.
Mull also supports more extensions from developer options.

Check these out for Librewolf and Mull's results. Fennec isn't in the list (yet?)

A distro and desktop environment recommendation for an old laptop (Read all of it, please.)

'sup? So, I am a beginner that has an old Samsung laptop from 2013 with an i3 4005U, a GeForce 710M, 500GB HDD (I will probably upgrade it to an SSD, but not for now.), 4GB 1600 MHz DDR3L RAM (the same for the HDD, will probably upgrade to 8GB some time.). It currently has Windows 10 Home but Linux is probably lighter (right?)...

use MiXplorer or ZArchiver, they are good.
MiXplorer (and it's addons): Google Drive / Beta (mixplorer.com/beta) (or, if you want to support the developer; Google Play Store (includes addons))
ZArchiver: Google Play Store

edit: corrected the layout.

I'm still checking it because Infinity for Reddit isn't "dead" yet. I used Sync too, so I'm waiting for Sync for Lemmy/kbin! (I know it's coming out in about 5 weeks according to the developer of Sync.)

"The fediverse isn’t ready to take over yet." and I think that it doesn't matter that much. You need to form a community, big or small, but a healthy one, and then make your way from there. Some platforms are, yes, still in early stages, but I think the communities are actually helping developers because they can give the developerse feedbacks about new features, bugs etc. etc.

Sucuk, to random

Helloooo, can anyone hear me‽‽‽

(also, this is my first post in kbin, cool.)
