@birdcat they do this to all new accounts now, especially the mostly inactive ones. I think one way to get around the phone requirement is to use a proton email and setup 2FA immediately after creating the account. Then again, proton is flagging new accounts with signup confirmation emails too, so... yeah... leave github asap

@muntedcrocodile "Fair use" are exceptions from copyright licenses. I won't pretend I know how this all works in detail, I just know this is the loophole they are using.

@muntedcrocodile @JRepin they say it's fair use to take any copyrighted content for training and data-mining. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.add6124

@Dymonika do --list-subs first, different videos offer different subs with different names

@ReakDuck I'm sure nvidia would like that, this "open source" label is good for marketing. They just want to avoid being actually open. Have the cake and eat it, like many businesses do.

@peregus why do you think so? My view is backed by the two official definitions from OSI and FSF, plus the wording of specific licenses. Your definition is backed by... linguistics? While ignoring the second (open cage) meaning of "open"? Quite strange narrow definition, don't you think? And at odds with everyone who has been doing open-source for decades.

@peregus yes, wrong. Being "open" doesn't mean just "readable". Imagine an open bird cage, not just an open book. It needs to be open to fly free.

@ReversalHatchery @velox_vulnus

It violates "freedom 0" of the Free Software Definition too, so no difference there. This limitation on use makes is non-open-source AND non-free-software. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html#fs-definition

@Tick_Dracy not open-source

@longpanda @horse_battery_staple

"stores various types of data efficiently, ensuring smooth performance and user experience" sounds exactly like "storing these tracking cookies for your enhanced experience on our site"

@trevor People in lemmy open-source community not seeing the relevancy of the open-source guarantee of F-Droid... SMH

@trevor What are you talking about? If they can't build it themselves without proprietary stuff, then it doesn't get published. That's not a mere "guideline".

@Lemmchen no, just the sentence in the readme

@MigratingtoLemmy Yup, there are even some similarities from the Twitter/Nitter fight - tracking tokens, IP blocks, API limits, ... Get ready for youtube requiring login to watch videos.

@MigratingtoLemmy Yesterday I saw a broken embedded video on LinkedIn so.....

@MigratingtoLemmy you are wrong though. They are adding tokens and signatures, without them the videos aren't playing. But I just updated my invidious and it's playing fine again => it's not an IP block (yet), it is a change in the youtube media api, so the players need to be changed too = effectively a player block.

@w00t @sag

This fixed the problem for invidious, maybe RustyTube needs something similar https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper

@w00t @sag

Invidious released a fix today: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/releases/tag/v2.20240825

so the maintainer of RustyTube can check the changes and implement a similar fix

@TwinTusks @w00t

Looks like yesterday Youtube simply stopped serving the format 22 (ytdl -f22, IIRC that was 480p video+audio) on all videos, so now anything that had this format selected as default is failing (@invidious). -f18 is still there (360p).

@sweng Look I don't have that much time to split hairs about inconsequential things. All I'm saying is that if someone says "Don't do ABCD" and you click a button on the same page that says "Do ABCD" then that's clearly the same ABCD they were talking about, no more action necessary, no outside definitions necessary. Have a good day.
