Based on my experience (.ml, World, sh.itjust.works).

Differences

  • Overall nicer user base
  • No ads/algorithms
  • Better UI

Same

  • Echo chambers. To be fair, this can be said about very website.
  • Politics. Both are very Left leaning. I was hoping for something more neutral.
YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know in c/[email protected]

Good thing we have Youtube alternatives. The two biggest ones are Odysee & Rumble. Also we have Peertube. The problem with Peertube is people don't use it. So it haves less content on it.

If you're going to watch Youtube, use a Frontend. For same reason Privacy Guides don't have Grayjay on it.

Possible Linux Severe CVSS 9.9/10 Unauthenticated RCE Flaw (sh.itjust.works)
 

Simone Margitelli's post on the find

Margitelli posted a screenshot that implies he submit this bug to Canonical and Red Hat, who rated the vulnerability to have a CVSS of 9.9. If this is true, this bug would be more critical than the infamous Heartbleed, Spectre, and Meltdown exploits. Information is really limited right now about this bug, and also somewhat contradictory. I cannot find a public statement from Red Hat or Canonical confirming the existance of this bug, but have yet to deny it. This is typical for an exploit of this magnitude. However, according to Security Online, both insitutions have confirmed its severity.

Full disclaimer, this thing could be totally overhyped/overblown right now. Its going to take a few weeks before all the information comes out. It wouldn't be the first time a vulnerability has been overhyped to pressure the dev into fixing it. In the mean time, Linux users should make sure to keep their systems up to date.
