Loving that nvim config… Using a similar one myself…

Forgot to mention that mpv is how I actually watch the videos. Newsboat downloads a list from each channel kinda like an RSS feed. I can then select any video & download it by pressing a keybinding. It’s been a while since I last had to actually set this up, but off memory, here’s some quick info…

The file ~/.newsboat/urls contains URLs similar to the one below. Just replace CHANNEL_ID with the actual channel ID. You can find the channel ID in the URL of the channel’s page…

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID

With the URLs in place you can edit your newsboat config file to set up a key binding for downloading videos using yt-dlp. It should be as simple as adding something like the following to the config…

macro d set browser “yt-dlp %u”; open-in-browser ; set browser “xdg-open %u”

This binds the d key to use yt-dlp to download videos.

I love YouTube, but the site often annoys me in many ways. On my computer I use newsboat along with yt-dlp to download all the videos I want to watch offline. This way, I can watch content without dealing with any of the site’s frustrations…

Maybe if I had given it a real chance and started following a few more people, I might have had a much better experience. My feed was filled with random stuff that I was never going to have any interest in…

Yea I tried threads recently myself & had the exact same problems. I followed like a total of 3 people, yet my feed was filled with utter crap that I wasn’t the slightest bit interested in…

I hadn’t logged into my Twitter account in over a year. When I finally did recently, I simply shared a link to my Mastodon account. A few days later, I went to check a Twitter link, only to find my account had been banned…

While I’d personally never install or use this, it good to know its there for the extremely small percentage of people who’ll want or need it…

It ain’t the same, and probably never will be…

I absolutely love how minimalist this looks…

Thank you for pointing out this app 🙏👍

There’s nothing wrong with using something like KDE. I myself use XFCE. Use whatever you like and are comfortable with…

Never tried bandcamp, but will have to try it out soon…

I try to buy all my music directly from the artist in CD form whenever possible. Whenever that’s not possible, I try to get a version that I can save locally & play offline…

Can agree with this…

Screw x, I literally don’t care what happens to it at this point. At one point in time “twitter” was actually half decent, then it just went to shit…

Fuck em…
Just buy music directly from the artist whenever possible…

I gave bspwn a try a while back, but never stuck with it. Recently been thinking about giving it another try. Any advice you could give to someone who’s primarily been using XFCE for the most part…

I’ve not used neofetch in quite some time, but I’m sure my own is indeed faster…

While I’ve nothing against neofetch, I prefer to use my own fetch because it needs little to no maintenance and has everything I need. I actually think that maintaining a neofetch config might actually be more work in the long run. Anyway… I’m using plain old Bash for my shell prompt. I’ve just customized it using nerd fonts (see one of my other comments on this post for the command)…
