Greta Thunberg: The Climate Event

I’d highly recommend making time in your calendar to watch this speech.

(Apologies for the YouTube link.)

Also, now that I’m back at my computer, here’s a non-YouTube link to Greta Thunberg’s “The Climate Event” talk on an Invidious instance:

If you use the Firefox browser – or a privacy-respecting Firefox fork, like LibreWolf (https://librewolf.net/) – take a look at the LibRedirect extension (https://libredirect.github.io/). It automatically redirects links/embeds of surveillance capitalists like Google (YouTube, etc.), Instragram, Twitter, Reddit, etc. to community-run instances that remove tracking, etc.

I think what stresses me out with LibRedirect is how it interacts with NoScript - the number of new actors you trust with your data becomes very apparent. Sure, Google won't map you, but instead you're trusting a bunch of smaller actors with your data, and to not do anything malicious :/

Aral Balkan reshared this.

@prosaluxemburg This is a very valid concern. Not to mention that those sites can come and go and others can take over the domains.

I've been using this with limited success. Sometimes what you get through these links seems broken / doesn't load correctly, while some features exist in the "full" version only.

Still, an awesome idea! And I like not going through captchas everytime I want to read something on one of the corporate services.

@FOxyShelby Only as safe as the sites that are included. So, no, I wouldn’t call it safe. But so few things are these days. As always, know your threat model and decide accordingly (easier said than done, I know).

You can watch Youtube without the Youtube like this: https://yt.artemislena.eu/watch?v=ropBOwPvmLM

Just use https://yt.artemislena.eu/ or another Invidious server.

side note: "The Climate Event" would be an excellent wrestling name if Greta ever got in the ring.

Joking is how I cope. Sigh

Hey, it's not your video, and probably not Creative Commons so YouTube link is cool. Though if it could be pushed to a smaller "small web" type system would be nice. Just gentle nudges seem good.
