Latest Freebooters podcast: Getting busy with bash, FOSS sound formats, and why YouTube has outgrown us

https://freebooters.uk/media/20251206-getting-busy-with-bash.mp3

Chris shares the bash projects he's been working on, we talk about MP3 vs other FOSS audio formats, and we talk about why YouTube isn't the best place for smaller creators any more....

#Freebooters

@FediTips Getting people to post on Fedi/PeerTube is great, but I definitly think it's time to seriously start turning ours backs on YT.

New project, trying to do more stuff away from YouTube.

@henrik Yeah, I altered a few settings, but the reason I'm on it, is that the shitfukery is off-by-default and then I get to decide if I want it on, as-and-when I need it.

So far, I'm settling into #Librewolf really quite well. Seems faster than #Firefox, with all the AI stuff deactivated. No websites have been broken for me yet, but then again, I'll probably use Qutebrowser for those.

Don't know if any of you remember when I used to stream Hitman™ 2 Ghost mode back in 2019/2020, (Christ that's five years ago), but I did a little compilation of my favour rounds for #PeerTube. Not available on that other place.

Another one forgot to fill in the mail merge.

@egoldblatt Some website break under the increase security settings. So far though, so good.

Okay, giving #Librewolf another go. Let's see how far I get this time.

our friendo at @omgubuntu is still banned too it seems

@benrob0329 @vkc Yeah an email list would be cool.

I always kinda felt RSS is the better part of social networks.

@eskuero Yeah, like the pocket stuff, Mozilla might end up baking it in quite deep. Having is disabled is good enough for me.

If the ad-blocking was better, I'd move over to Qutebrowser.

@eskuero Yeah i read that, I was hoping for something more committed. But it's better than nothing I guess.

@ahhhhhhoniichan Yeah, I agree. But I can't seem to find them coming down strongly on one side or another, which doesn't inspire confidence.

Has Librewolf taken a definitive stance on including AI in its browser yet?

@yeti Well that podcast description is from somewhere else. That's my bad. lol

@Jes It's like throwing stones, from within their glass house, so then their house just gets full of holes.
