Gut, dass #PlayProtect in diesem Fall funktioniert hat - das Risiko über andere #Stores wie FDroid etc. sich ne #Infektion zuzuziehen bleibt. Hoffentlich reagieren diese Stores auch so schnell.

Collabora Launches Desktop Office Suite for Linux:

(Yeah now we have Microsoft Office on Linux lol (kinda, if we consider the design of the UI, it looks almost a one-to-one copy of it))

Odysee got "shorts" feature, similar to YouTube:
(no article about it)
(Oh yeah, the brainrot arrived to Odysee too... lol)
(But I guess it makes sense, since most creators sync their YouTube channel, Shorts also get synced, it's a more pleasant experience on the Odysee side.)

Collabora Launches Desktop Office Suite for Linux

The new office suite uses modern tech for a consistent online-offline experience; the existing offering is renamed 'Classic' and it maintains a traditional approach.

It's FOSS

Hello hello, I have made another #article, this time its about something I use almost everyday, #freetube an #opensource #youtubeclient that allows for subscriptions and personal playlists possible without a Gmail account

https://nathanalvaradosite.wordpress.com/2024/12/17/freetube-an-alternative-youtube-client/

Freetube, an alternative YouTube client

Freetube is a privacy friendly open source YouTube client, as an alternative to the YouTube website and app, able to subscribe to channels, make playlists, and no ads along with less tracking from …

NathanAlvarado Blog

There are tools to transpose (raise/lower pitch, if you're not a music geek :) recordings you'd like to sing along with.

Notably, on Android, you can shift the pitch of YouTube videos (and/or change the speed, independently) with the free, open-source, lightweight, privacy-friendly, ad-free, third-party client NewPipe.

(Tap the "1x" for the speed and pitch controls.)

https://newpipe.net/

Among other things, it lets you listen to a video in the background, and lets you download video or just audio.

I recommend scrolling down in the installation instructions, and getting it through F-Droid, using NewPipe's own repository.

(No connection to them here other than as a satisfied user.)
