It should be back now! I’ve migrated it to a new server earlier today since the old one had some issues.

Zorin OS, which was the second distro I ever tried, I hated how outdated their repos were since they were using an older Ubuntu LTS repository for packages. It was quite painful to install software that would otherwise have worked out-of-the-box on Ubuntu. I hope this is no longer the case today.

I try doing something productive, like working on developing a new skill, or work on some of my hobby projects. That prevents me from feeling lonely.

Here’s some that I thought about:

• Wikipub
• Wikihive (A bee mascot)
• Academoo (A cow mascot)
• LinkLynx (A lynx with a magnifying glass maybe?)
• Encyclonet

Hi, author of the Piped link bot here! I think this is meme great feedback to throw light on some issues on the experience with the bot. 😂 I’ll open an issue at https://github.com/TeamPiped/lemmy-piped-link-bot to track this later.

Hi, when you’re playing a video, you can enable “Auto Play next Video” checkbox on the same page below the video description.

Should be fixed, I pushed a fix yesterday! :)

Hey, thanks for the message! I’ve fixed the issue already, which was caused by a regression in one of my changes. To prevent this from happening in the future, I’ve added unit tests for the same. Sorry for the inconvenience caused!

You’re welcome! Thanks for lemmit hehe :)

Things should be fine from today onwards on the official instance. We’re now using a VPN for some (and maybe soon all) traffic to Google.

I haven’t seen any changes from YouTube recently, the ways we fetch age restricted content still seem to work for most videos. However, this method may not work for all videos as YouTube has different levels of age restrictions afaict. I’ve seen very few videos fall under that category personally.

If anything were to change in the future, I may consider implementing something similar to what this extension does (or use their API) in Piped.

Hi, is this on the official instance? I’m unable to reproduce this…

I think it is quite unlikely for YouTube to implement a DRM for watching videos. In anyways, we will keep fighting collaboratively as long as we can.

The most likely way YouTube probably will affect us currently is if they decide to log in wall their platform like how Twitter did.

Would you like to add feddit.rocks? It’s a lemmy instance run by me :)

Hi there, there’s currently an open issue at https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/issues/1090!

I currently have no plans on implementing this feature myself at this point in time, however, community contributions are definitely welcome for this! :)

I technically answered this in another post: https://feddit.rocks/comment/39513

I hope it is a good reason to prefer it, but it’s your choice at the end of the day :)

Oh, I see! I overlooked that you needed an account on the instance to be able to resolve remote communities.

Okay, its good to know that it’s working!

Good to hear that :) Inviting the bot definitely helps it reach more communities, so thanks for that!
