@Lemmchen no, just the sentence in the readme

@MigratingtoLemmy Yup, there are even some similarities from the Twitter/Nitter fight - tracking tokens, IP blocks, API limits, ... Get ready for youtube requiring login to watch videos.
@MigratingtoLemmy you are wrong though. They are adding tokens and signatures, without them the videos aren't playing. But I just updated my invidious and it's playing fine again => it's not an IP block (yet), it is a change in the youtube media api, so the players need to be changed too = effectively a player block.
This fixed the problem for invidious, maybe RustyTube needs something similar https://github.com/iv-org/inv_sig_helper
Looks like yesterday Youtube simply stopped serving the format 22 (ytdl -f22, IIRC that was 480p video+audio) on all videos, so now anything that had this format selected as default is failing (@invidious). -f18 is still there (360p).
@sweng Look I don't have that much time to split hairs about inconsequential things. All I'm saying is that if someone says "Don't do ABCD" and you click a button on the same page that says "Do ABCD" then that's clearly the same ABCD they were talking about, no more action necessary, no outside definitions necessary. Have a good day.
@sweng It's much more likely that the term follows the github's definition, because it's on github, rather than the wikipedia's definition, because why would it? You keep hanging on one word in a wikipedia article, let me fix that article and maybe we can stop this nonsense discussion.
@sweng I simply don't agree that your "common" definition is really the "common" one. Fork is a fork if you created a copy in another repo. Immediately in that moment, even without a new commit. Clearly that's what the "Fork" button does. Not zip, that's not a fork. Nor a private copy, unavailable to anyone else. This fits both the definition from the license, and the TOS, and all instances of "forking" that I've seen before.
@sweng And to your question: I'd say no, downloading as zip is not a fork, either by github TOS (because they say the copy must be in a repo) nor by the license, because they specifically define the term "Modify", and saying that an exact copy is ok, as long as you don't distribute it or "fork" it - which is exactly why "fork" here means the "Fork" button of github.
Do you think that Download ZIP = fork? It sounds to me like it doesn't fit the wikipedia definition either, so what's your point?
@trevor What are you talking about? If they can't build it themselves without proprietary stuff, then it doesn't get published. That's not a mere "guideline".
