(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee plans feature to play any YouTube video directly inside its app soon without ads: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/odysee-plans-feature-to-play-any-youtube-video-directly-inside-its-app-soon-without-ads/ (Oh no, why the heck they want another legal trouble? I mean, it sounds good for the users, but it gives a reason to authorities to mess with them, and potentially sue them into bankruptcy, like they already did with their parent company, LBRY. Of course, NewPipe, Invidious, FreeTube, etc. do the same, but those are community projects, can't be attacked that easily, and even if they can be, they don't have that much to lose. In contrast, Odysee is a company, which employs people, who have to make a living. Also, it's a separate platform, which will be lost, if they lose the lawsuit (which is pretty likely, because authorities don't give a crap about digital freedom, only about the big corps' business, they don't consider YouTube datamining people a crime, but they do consider companies "hurting" big tech, see the YouTube Vanced case)) (And tbh, I personally prefer to watch YouTube videos without tying my watch history into an online account, FreeTube already offers a really solid experience) Firefox 148 Is Now Available for Download with AI Kill Switch and Other Changes: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-148-is-now-available-for-download-with-ai-kill-switch-and-other-changes Firefox 149 Enters Beta with Split View, More Robust HTTP/3 Upload Performance: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-149-enters-beta-with-split-view-more-robust-http-3-upload-performance Ladybird web browser begins Rust adoption, starting with JavaScript engine, with AI help: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/ladybird-web-browser-begins-rust-adoption-starting-with-javascript-engine-with-ai-help/ Servo Browser Engine Starts 2026 With Many Notable Improvements: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-January-2026 Thunderbird 148 Email Client Improves Accessibility in Various Tree Views: https://9to5linux.com/thunderbird-148-email-client-improves-accessibility-in-various-tree-views Ente launches Locker, a new open-source secure vault with end-to-end encryption: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/ente-launches-locker-a-new-open-source-secure-vault-with-end-to-end-encryption/ (more FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #OpenSource #FOSSNews #FOSS #OpenSourceNews #News #Odysee #YouTube #Firefox #Firefox148 #FirefoxBeta #Ladybird #Servo #Thunderbird #Ente #EnteLocker #Browser #EmailClient #WebBrowser #BrowserEngine #Email #FosseryTech

I also found a way to compile the Python code into C (using Nuitka) to make it more performant, smaller in size.

(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright.

What can they do with me? I'm anonym, they don't know my real-world identity, and even if they hire hackers, and de-anonymize me, what do they do with me? Fine me? Not gonna pay. Arrest me then?
