I don’t get your argument. FreeTube is nowhere near as big as Wikipedia or GitHub. Are you not using any free software?

LibreOffice, Gimp, System Informer, Nushell, Thunderbird, Firefox, Steam, this Lemmy instance, Matrix, … I don’t know what to tell you. I can go through all the applications and websites I use and I’ll have a hard time finding some that sell my user data.

The executable being packed in an executable format means it has to be decompressed on each launch. If it doesn’t it means it’s not saving any space anyway.

I don’t know what packing you’re looking for, but Windows applications are typically installed with installers. An executable compressed executable goes against this; unless you want to pack installers.

Traditional file compression works well enough. People know to launch an msi or exe or read a README. Introducing non-standard tools is not necessarily a good idea, and certainly is not intuitive to users not already familiar with it.

I imagine it is free because FreeTube collect data on you.

It doesn’t have to sell user data if it doesn’t have to make money if it is run by volunteers.

You can disable watch history in your Google/YouTube account as well. It’s not like you’re forced to have it on native YouTube either.

Did you mean to reply to a comment?

Freetube is a frontend client that uses YouTube.

I think variable bitrate is preferable. With a variable bitrate you don’t have a single, specific, telling bitrate show up. In the end you depend on the encoder doing decent work. Which group names can be useful for, to identify and revisit good ones.

If you want to evade torrents;

The fansub group hi10anime has direct download links (ouo shortlink guarded, which is a non issue for me with ad blocker and browser addon auto-click). Only need a website account to see the post with links.

I know they have a Berserk 1997 encode/release. And other classic as well as recent anime.

It may just be coincidental. Chasing hosters and legal battles takes time.

Random instances can group, that’s soll random.
