Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/pG0yq2ATWbc

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

There are reasons for data collection. But having it be opt out instead of opt in is the more evil of the two choices.

Fedora, from what I last heard, is doing the same thing for new installs. You gonna go send your pitchfork over that way too?

In the spirit of not getting the joke, Pine64 could be worth checking out for whoever shares this sentiment. It’s the closest thing to user friendly free open source hardware at the moment, and their laptop (the #PinebookPro) actually looks pretty neat. @PINE64 @pine64eu

2023 Might actually be the year I become a ludite at this rate. Did every tech company just decide this would be the year to make everything shitty?

Might as well do it while everyone’s anger is focused elsewhere.

The luddites were against technology being used to abuse and subjugate workers and drive down wages, so yes I’m absolutely a Luddite.

So, unnecessary, stressing, repetitive, and dangerous work should still be done manually with worse results?

Interest rates have motivated corporations to find creative ways to maintain profits. God forbid they just make less money for a while.
