If you're down to use Piped as a YT front-end, there's an RSS icon on every channel page in the top right corner.
If you want to use YouTube directly, use the following link and append the channel ID of whatever channel you want to follow: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=
Another alternative would be using something like FreeTube, which can use RSS to fetch subscriptions (but doesn't by default unless you're subbed to a high number of channels).
The easiest way is to use RSS for podcasts is to use a dedicated app. AntennaPod is what I use (Android) and I can't recommend it enough, it has a search feature to find the RSS feeds for whatever podcast you like and add them to your subscriptions.
I started using RSS during the summer. It filled a hole after I quit reddit, since I used to get a lot of my news from the subreddits for my city and my province. There's also the on-going bickering between Meta and Canadian lawmakers/news media groups which means I see way less articles on social media than I used to. Honestly, after adding a couple local news outlets to my RSS apps, I feel better informed than ever before, and I spend a lot less time arguing with people on reddit. Win-win if you ask me.
Anyone looking for good RSS readers, I use Feeder on my phone (Android-only), Fluent Reader on desktop (cross-platform), and I also use the RSS widget of the Renewed Tab addon for Firefox. Both apps I use work locally, and have the ability to fetch full articles in-app (the addon just opens the articles in Firefox).
Something also worth mentioning: you can often find RSS feeds by checking the page's source (on Firefox: right-click and "View Page Source") and using Ctrl+F to search, there's usually a URL somewhere. Keywords to search for: "feed", "RSS", "xml", "atom". For example, if I go to this community's page on lemmy.world, I can Ctrl+F "feed" on the page source to find https://lemmy.world/feeds/c/technology.xml
Social media: For YouTube I use LibreTube for watching, as well as Seal for downloading videos (essentially a yt-dlp wrapper). For lemmy, I use Jerboa.
I'll chose to interpret this comment as a joke, but if anyone wants a desktop app for YouTube, check out FreeTube. No ads, subscriptions without a Google account, Sponsorblock integration, videos can be proxied through Invidious if wanted.
I'm francophone and love trying to figure out other romance languages when I come across them in written form. I probably would have figured this one out if it weren't for OP seemingly being confused about what a desktop environment is versus what a distribution is.
If you don't wanna faff about on a PC to obtain movies/TV shows, Stremio (+Torrentio addon and a Real-Debrid subcription) is probably the smoothest piracy experience you could get on a tablet.
If you're fine with doing it manually, you could just install Libretorrent to download stuff and VLC to play the files.
It's been a bit of a shit one. Finances are rough right now as I've been looking for a job for quite some time, and I learned just yesterday that my roommate is moving out on the first of February and didn't think it was something she really needed to tell me in advance. So I'll be on the hook for the full rent amount, which is around twice what I have in my bank account right now.
I did apply for a really cool job with a queer non-profit, so fingers crossed I'll get that and my luck will start turning around!
But it doesn’t. Everywhere I turned in Ontario as an immigrant, I was offered bilingual services (in Toronto).
I appreciate your anecdotal evidence, but it remains anecdotal. I could go on about my own anecdotes living in a province which, on paper is officially bilingual, but where I struggle to receive services in French. Even workplaces in Francophone-majority areas barely accommodate unilingual French speakers. I suspect your experience is far from the norm.
And their reasoning for implementing the laws is nothing more than racism, xenophobia and to fuck with the “anglos”
Look, I won't pretend racism and xenophobia aren't issues in Québecois society, they are and that deserves to be addressed. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool. What I take issue with is equating any and all measures to protect the French language with racism and xenophobia. Are the methods the current CAQ government using to supposedly "protect French" often steeped in racism and xenophobia? I definitely think they are. But the concept of French preservation is much larger than the CAQ's definition of it. Québecois.es have not too distant memories of being second-class citizens under a rich Anglophone elite, I think anyone should understand why they would be apprehensive at multinational business interests entering the province and not giving any fucks about French.
I've been using the OpenBoard fork since it got recommended in this thread and it's been good enough for me to disable SwiftKey (not delete yet though, I'm not ready to fully commit to deleting that accrued personal dictionary). I recommend checking it out!
