@jrswab What I like about RSS that you can follow youtube channels and if you set it up, you don't have to go to youtube, you can use your favorite media player to watch the video, or download it for later.

"Some Facebook employees indicated that they believe The Times and other news outlets are unfairly targeting the company because of its outsize influence"

It seems moral blindness is a job requirement at Facebook :blob_dizzy_face:

On thing I've noticed about streaming on #Twitch is that you have to compete for views in a way that you don't with #YouTube.

A person can really only watch one Twitch stream at a time where as with YouTube you can watch several people's videos in succession without losing out on the overall experience.

Twitch seems more competitive in this regard where as with YouTube there's a feeling of a rising tide raising all ships.

We will be releasing the v1 API soon. Its based on the Mastodon API.

The next API version is based on GraphQL. We have tested basic support and look forward to a more efficient experience for instances and mobile apps. #pixeldev

Lately, many people that I truly respect have answered to the ' #google product or #apple customer ' question by switching to iOS.

It makes some sense to choose the platform of a customer-oriented company instead of the tracking-oriented one's, cos you need here and now a smartphone that just works.

But only a #foss platform can give back to the users the control of their devices.

Let's not fall into the "lesser of two evils" trap. There are foss mobile initiatives out there. And they need our support.
