On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

    So, you typed it into your browser, or codeberg, or obtainium, or whatever, and nothing came out?

    Lately I've been having problems with Freetube but haven't with Materialious, for now.

    Don't know if Freetube is working for anyone else, but I think it's slowly being stopped by the most recent yt features made to kill all 3rd party clients. At least on my end it sure feels like it.
