Yes, that should work, I believe, though I am no expert. I watch YT via Freetube with my VPN on most of the time, and right now too. I use Mozilla VPN if that matters and have it connected to just some other US city, but as always, YMMV.

They backed into something.

As of March 29, Version 0.23.3 seems to have fixed things again, if anyone finds this thread now.

In b4 the snap complaints!

FreeTube is not working for me either. For now though, I can get the preview and then copy the URL for videos I really want to watch. Then I grab them with Open Video Downloader and watch it in VLC.

So, you are saying Debian is the better choice, right?

Oooh, neat! [Cunningham’s Law] (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Cunningham#Cunningham’s_Law) in action!

I’ve used Tuta for more than 4 years. It’s a solid choice if you accept a couple few things:

• they’re a small company, doing their best to survive.

• you have to use their client apps. They take security very seriously and assume all of their users do as well.

• prices might go up every few years but I am still paying my original rate, for my original features.

• the search function does work but is very slow.

But otherwise, I’m very happy and expect to stay with them for the forseeable. Good luck in your search.

_drkt provided no proof of Tuta’s enshittification. There are no paid ads for third party products in any Tuta UI. Don’t panic yet. Read all the comments here, maybe.

Why don’t stories like this EVER mention Lemmy?

I don’t know you, but you may be over-thinking this. I had no intention of posting something in any way transphobic, to be clear.
