This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Try grayjay... it's an AWESOME new app, open source, and supports all video networks you can think of as plugins.
It's available on: grayjay.app
Yes and no. Cool project but I gotta be honest I'm not a big fan of Louis Rossman / FUTO's "open source but not free " stance.
It's open source and it's free. You're free to pay too if you want to support them. Software costs money.
What Louis is protecting against in his license is repurposing the app with malware and ads like was repeatedly done with new pipe. Pick your poison.
No! Libertarian GPL or DIE!
.
/s, kindaI'm not sure I understand your philosophy there or you're joking. Why is GPL so important? Isn't the purpose of open-source to validate that no funny business is happening?
That is a purpose of open source.
First, I was wrong in linking libertarian with GPL, I was thinking of permissive licenses like MIT. GPL is a CopyLeft license, in that it forbids proprietization. MIT is more like, do whatever the hell you want, you just can’t sue me.
The joke should have been "Libertarian MIT License or DIE!"
I think MIT is actually a pretty rough license, because it allows someone to come along, take the open source work, add anything, or virtually nothing and then start selling it as their own while keeping any new code secret... when they got it for free. I'm mostly against that, but there are people who believe strongly in that type of license.
I'm more in favor of GPL like licenses (not prescriptively, but preferentially) because they force the work and its derivatives to be shared by the community, for the work to continue to be open source.
Share alike is the most important clause IMO. Stand on the shoulders of giants and all
Free as in price, not as in freedom.
I mean it's not NewPipe's fault that Google Play hosts malware.
Based on what Louis Rossmann said it does seem the more restrictive licence comes from a place of good intentions:
But idk if that's also what the license actually means legally-speaking. I'm no expert but section 4 seems pretty dubious:
FUTO TEMPORARY LICENSE:
This license grants you the rights, and only the rights, set out below in respect of the source code provided. If you take advantage of these rights, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license, do not access the code.
Words used in the Terms of Service have the same meaning in this license. Where there is any inconsistency between this license and those Terms of Service, these terms prevail.
Section 1: Definitions
Section 2: Grant of Rights
Section 3: Limitations
Section 4: Termination, suspension and variation
Section 5: General

2 million people follow that guy so 🤷♂️
So?
Sorry, who are you?
Not the moron blindly following people because of followers
Sure , whatever makes you happy
is there something wrong with having a large following?
Nope, I follow Louis as well. I love how he promotes right to repair and custom Roms. I installed custom ROM because of him and checkout my battery backup now.
that's actually impressive
Does grayjay update when creators add new videos etc for YouTube? That would be the only reason i DONT use it. Though I don't see whynit wouldnt.
Pulls directly from YouTube or whatever other source you have a plugin for. So yes it'll catch automatically when people release new videos.
#TeamLouisRossmann and #TeamFUTO represent!
Is it better than ReVanced?
Try it out and decide for yourself.
