Yeah, the whole post has a very “I am 14 & very smart” feel to it.
Their only really good point is that they don’t use the API so aren’t bound by its terns. That’s a good, solid, point.
The rest is… not.
- BlackLotus89 3y agoWhy is the fact that they don't offer any invidious instance not a good point?
- photonerd 3y agoThey offer the software. If the software itself was in breach of the terms then instances wouldn’t really matter. But it’s not, so that’s moot.
- BlackLotus89 3y agoThey offer the documentation to install the software. The software itself is hosted on github (at least I didn't find a download link). I mean I get what you want to say and of course he sounds smug, but imo he is right at least with invidious.io not offering the client or service
- photonerd 3y agoAlmost every website is hosted on someone else’s server. If that argument held true no company would be offering anything. It’s nonsense.
- bbor 3y agoThey refer to “product OR service”. Sooo pretty sure this comes under “product”
- yrro 3y ago> Their only really good point is that they don’t use the API so aren’t bound by its terns. That’s a good, solid, point. In the UK, accessing a computer without permission is a criminal offence. To do so with the intent to commit further offences (e.g., copyright infringement) is an aggravated offence, punishable by unlimited fine and five years imprisonment. It's a really bad idea to access an API without permission.
