A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Never heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch

For Desktop, you can use FreeTube

  • Supports all platforms (Yey Linux)
  • No ads
  • Can create seperate profiles (Helps me with productivity)
  • Download the video is required

Only downside

  • Can't comment on the videos

You can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.

Oh more options, thanks! Would you know if watching videos through any of these adds to the official video watch count? It would be nice to still contribute to the engagement metrics for some of the desktop content I watch
