So did just notice that youtube-dl was gone.
Have used it in several project trough the years,both in GUI and web(Flask).

For those who not know what youtube-dl is,
so was this one of the largest Python open source project,used for downloading video and audio from YouTube.
Not only Youtube,youtune-dl did work and had support for several hundred video sites.

For more info.

Thats what happens when Microsoft monopolizes everything such as buying Github.

You can still obtain it from
https://youtube-dl.org/
or
Of those that do not want to deal with github because they are now owned by Microsoft use Gitlab instead. This is the new go to place for those anti-Microsoft users.

I've also noticed (for some time now) the decreasing value of google search (both regular and advanced search).
Seems to be inversely proportional to their growth.

There was a happy ending🌜 for those who have not follow the the case or know what youtube-dl is.
Standing up for developers: youtube-dl is back

There's other stuff happing on GitHub that I don't like.

A got an email the other day that some of my repositories were modified through 'Dependabot security update'
updating lxml.

I don't have a clue what this is all about, but sounds like someone is trespassing in my territory.

Your frustration is understandable though. You can disable it if it was activated by default (obviously)

Output:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade --user youtube-dl
