Imagine using this stuff

Lmao no

I am all in favor for spreading donations across many - especially smaller - projects. I think that there are two levels to donations:

• The monetary one. Donating helps fund development either by paying for a full-time dev or by helping the dev stay financially stable to do a bit less work hours so they have time for the project.
• The psychological one. Most people that publish their code online are not expecting this to become big. And when a stranger from the internet appreciates their code enough for a donation this is a huge motivational factor.

I even tend to think that donating 5€ more to GIMP is less valuable than giving the money to some random project.

But Linux consists of more than 1 GUI?

I disagree with the other poster. Work isn’t (shouldn’t be) a place that is disjoint from the rest of our time. Making such an effort can be worth :)

No, sporadic bugfixes if the “maintainers” feel like it. It’s dead. See https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/

Stop recommending OnlyOffice.

Rather skill than distro

I hope that you will never publish a book.

How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn’t.

I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.

No matter how you extract the code, this will be hacky. The problem with this approach is that you are entirely dependent on the YouTube backend. They will not notify you when they change their code/API. They will not comment their code.

In the past, this has led to a considerable development investment of projects like NewPipe where they have to fix somethong every few months as there is a backend change.

I am still thinking about your problem, but I am unsure whether the approach of extracting from JS works (mid term).

Why not do the steps you outlined above as a macro on your keyboard? This eliminates the need for JS. To extract the video URL, you could use some RegEx automatically or Ctrl+F. Just some thoughts. I am still invested into this weird request :)

I have a lot of university stuff going on but I will try in the next week or so. If I don’t respond, DM me.

Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Mint -> Kubuntu -> Arch -> Fedora -> Mint -> Fedora.

Thank you for the reply! I did not want to be mean, rather explain why many people would downvote this post. Welcome to Lemmy!

I am not a fan of at best non-descriptive, at worst clickbait titles with one-sentence post bodies.

I noticed a few users starting to do this and it annoys me to no end. You don’t need to put a link in every comment

That’s fair. I feel like that would be a more valid criticism.

Not to mention anything posted on the internet is effectively public domain

Well, no.
