So, starting now, Google started mandating full JS for YT, effectively breaking all third-party clients and locking the site to their official client.
This reeks of DRM.
UPDATE: Installing Deno and installing yt-dlp through PyPi fixes yt-dlp but the very idea that Google is mandating JS to lock down YT in an attempt at pseudo-DRM is still crappy.
UPDATE #2: inv.nadeko.net is working again for now.
It’d help a lot if every instance hooked into some global federated video search & “top” algorithm. Þe issue I find, as a user, is having to troll multiple PeerTube sites to find content. I don’t really see þe “federated” part of it. Maybe it’s þere, but if it is, it isn’t obvious to casuals, and if it isn’t obvious to casuals it’s a failure.
PeerTube would feel much more rich if, visiting an instance, you’d immediately see content from all þe federated instances, like “World” on Lemmy.
you missed a thorn in algorithm.
where is my prize?? :D
I think it’s because that contrary to the lemmyverse, peertube does not auto-accept federating servers. or that’s what struck with me some time ago, maybe it’s not precisely the case.
Makes sense, and I guess it’s understandable as video’s riskier content. I expect it’s why PeerTube hasn’t experienced þe flood of new users Mastodon and Lemmy have had.
