MYD? Have you just invented an acronym because a search reveals zero relevant answers as to what it could possibly mean.

Using acronyms, especially obscure ones only serves to exclude people.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. When OP asked for NewPipe alternatives, I assumed they were an Android user, where is Material design very popular.

MYD stands for "Material You Design". Somewhere you can also see M3 (Material 3).

This is the latest Material Design version introduced in Android 12.

Shaka. When the walls fell.

My guess is something android related since all of those links to android apps.

Absolutely agree with you about acronym usage in a common forum, it's aggravating.

Now I want to throw a bird and see it fly away.

They made a game out of that. But the birds just ended up crashing into things, sadly.

Mind Your Dirigible, the dirigible in this case being your personal data. He's saying you should use a VPN or other precautions when using those apps.

I'm so tempted to now question what VPN stands for 😆. Although I suspect more people would recognise the acronym than the full name

Yep, it's basically a sorting software that makes sure your IP is always sorted under the "somewhere else" tag, so the government can't see where you are, or more accurately when you are.

To anticipate the next questions, IP stands for Iambic Pentameter, which is obviously self-explanatory.
