Allright, it means youtube is soon gone for me: deno is just a front-end to the abominations of the web engines from the whatng cartel. It would be a good compromise if I could have such an engine which I could build with a simple C compiler. You have modern javascript engines implemented in C, but no web engine, "la creme de la creme" of software abominations.

Just a few weeks/months ago, gogol search was blocked to noscript/basic (x)html browsers (I have witness gogol agenda about this unfold over the last few years).

Will use yt-dlp(zero whatng) until it breaks for good I guess.

The US administration failed to regulate the market domination of youtube with enforced simple and stable in time technical standards (what Big Tech hates). I don't blame them, since those nasty guys are smart border-line crime lords (and for sure serial offenders in EU).

Is there any other ways, non Big Tech ways, to access Sabine H. content? Or should I said good bye right now?

The change includes the ability to point yt-dlp at a Deno or Node binary of your own choice, which, in principle, allows someone to use a different runtime so long as it provides everything the script needs to run successfully.

  • What?

    How could you miss the point that much?

      I'm merely telling you that you can do exactly that.
