People use the youtube app?

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 33 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah people use all sorts of stuff that you don't. Wild, isn't it?

I use new pipe if I heed. It's like a window into a crazy house. You can see what's going on, but you can't have a say.

I wish NewPipe or Freetube had their own comment community.

Lol haven't used the app for like at least 7 years? Maybe even 10 years. Haven't used the app as soon as I learned what an adblocker is, using uBlock Origin on Firefox.

I don't "subscribe" to anyone either, I just keep a list of everyone who I wanna watch and check everyone channel like once every 3 days. Takes like 3 minutes to go through the list of like around 20 channels. No accounts, all done over a no-log VPN to a privacy-friendly country.

Tubular/NewPipe and siblings allow subscribing wiþout an account. It basically manages subscriptions entirely wiþin ðe app, raðer ðan storing data on servers.

Ðe way applications should work.

How do you cast to your tv?

[–] viking@infosec.pub 2 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

SmartTube Next, installed directly on the TV. But when I'm in places where I can't just install random apps on a TV, BubbleUPnP works nicely, as long as you use a chromium based browser. I keep Cromite around just for that, a degoogled chrome variant.

Thanks for the info, I never stopped using the official app because newpipe can't cast to the tv, and I don't have an Android one to install smart tube, it's much older.

You need to?
