It works great these past few days, and I've used it today. It works. You might not use the latest version.
Don't use F-droid official repos, use the NewPipe f-droid repo or the IzzyOnDroid one.
New fear unlocked.
That downloads directly from YouTube, and for that the best Android app by far is NewPipe and its forks, like Tubular.
Link us to one of these examples, it doesn't seem that hard to get
I was worried about this with my "parents in law" and then it turned out to be pretty okay, with quite a bit of positive side-effects.
Lots of free, homemade food with a quick phone call.
Family is nice to have close. Yes, sometimes they are trash, but if they are good people, you will realise why people in more "family-based" countries are so much happier.
What is their sound quality like?
Aren't those wireless?
Buttons of Apple's earpods don't work anywhere else but on Apple products.
My head gets fried with all that heat and weight.
Buttons are propietary, they don't work anywhere else but iPhones.
IMO, the best order for everything is:
- Piped (you can keep subs and playlists but watch from another instance, this is PERFECT when one instance gets limited)
- Invidious
- Tubular (NewPipe fork with sponsorblock)
- YouTube website
On Android, LibreTube (Piped) is the best IMO, you can log into some Piped server for subs and playlists, but select another instance for viewing, so you still get your subs and playlists even if you had to fall over to another instance to watch videos. I have 3 or 4 instances that I know generally work, so I switch between them whenever one gets limited or broken.
If YouTube changed something that breaks Piped, that's when I try Clipious (Invidious), and if that is broken too, I go to Tubular (NewPipe fork with sponsorblock). Last resort is obviously YouTube website.
It's a shame that Proton VPN has no official flatpak. The Arch Linux AUR package's been broken for a long while now.
