Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay

I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.

    I’ll still wait to see, repairing devices and advocating for the right to repair is not the same thing as developing a video app and open source licensing

    I wouldn’t assume by default that a person who knows how to build and repair a rocket also knows how to reach the moon in one.

    I don’t expect others to be skeptical just because I think it is, but I just prefer to wait and see on these things regardless of who’s in charge of it, I’ve been burned by things that were supposed to be trustworthy before.

      Afterall a healthy mentality. Even if I think Rossmann does some great things - he is still a rando on the internet.

      Me as a dev understands the desire to protect your work against malicious actors. On the other hand some of the best work is GPL licensed. IMO their license provides an ok middle ground between protection and non-commercial redistribution.

      Let actions speak louder than words.
