Its weird to think that the games of the 90's were prophetic tales of humanity merging with AI. Quake 2 had it spot on with the Strogg.
Welcome to your future

Humans couldn't possibly be turned into dog food like horses have been, could they?
Anyway here's someone who says hello.
I'm just an everyday user like yourself, I've been in the android camp since forever, and don't know much about Apple and it's ecosystem. Hopefully if more people use it, forks may fork, it may become the default media app for multiple platforms. That's how I currently use it on my tablet. Definitely worth keeping an eye on.
I hope you find something that works on apple, and if you do, please let me know.
@thumbsup I'm going to champion NewPipe as it's a great app which allows a collation of videos from peertube, sound cloud and a few others, including YouTube. Don't dismiss it just because it's not on ios, perhaps that'll come in the future. I've personally been on bandcamp listening to the undertale ost and didn't even notice I wasn't using yt. Give it a shot on an old tablet or chromebook and you'll be surprised how polished the ui is and ease of use is childlike. #newpipe FTW!! #opensource
@thumbsup @peertube If you're looking for a decent peertube site try out https://sepiasearch.org/
Just use any browser, even apple should allow it😂
This doesn't have any YouTube access, but if you're wanting to go open source, I wouldn't be doing on ios. Buy a pixel phone and put graphineOS. Why not just have invidious on a separate tab in your browser anyway? I'm not sure what your end goal is. If you mean creating content that's different, so far as consumption goes, these sites do the trick.

@gardiner_bryant @flwwhtrbt Did you know that debian+xfce4.20+lutris+OpenRA uses less ram than a fresh boot of Win11 to desktop😋
You could probably teach some ollama ai to play the game for you and it would still use less resources than the candy crush installer
Does anyone remember when ndiswrapper was a pain, or when licences for mpeg2/mp3 caused multimedia playback a chore? How about recompiling programs to run on your system, or making arbitrary .mo modules to run on slax or figuring out what .deb meant?
Tinkering around with #linux was always about discovering what it takes to make things run the way YOU want
It seems like all these distros which have been baked with all these issues ironed out, have lost something intrinsic to computing as a hobby
