From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you watch the video carefully, you'll see it was actually made with nothing but a magnetic needle and a steady hand

I reckon they just set the universal constant correctly

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

https://piped.video/watch?v=6WIy8B8FfV8

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

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

You can also watch it on official KDE Peertube server, also with fully respecting privacy https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/e6e8f177-22f1-432a-9c7f-ab76b17a5b54

Could not fetch embedded watch page

Just use Newpipe. Install it on mobile, set the app shortcuts to open all YouTube urls, and you never even have to think about it again. Now you have fast ad-free YouTube videos.

Install F-droid first, then newpipe from there. You will be very happy.

I like the pipedlink bot and the issue seems to be resolved now. Pipedlink bot works for users without having to run a particular os or plugin/add-on.

I wish it did. It's frequently not working.

I’d guess it’s a cat and mouse game with Google to keep it functional.
