  • I’m guessing you’re currently on Windows, right? If so, Virtualbox is perfectly fine, otherwise, if you’re on Linux already, you could use Boxes or Virt manager that are more performant, but don’t stress yourself if you just wanna play around Virtualbox will always be more than sufficient.
    As for the ISOs you can just get them directly from the distro websites or, if using Boxes, you can choose one at VM creation and it’ll download it for you








  • The tool presents a significant privacy risk, and shows that people may not be as anonymous in the YouTube comments sections as they may think.

    I don’t understand how this makes the privacy on YouTube any worse when all the information it sources from is already public, this is just automated doxxing, which, while we’ll agree to be unethical, was never a privacy violation, it is just the consequence of the actions of who posted the information to begin with.
    Also does it really violate YouTube’s privacy policy? It’s new to me that service consumers can be subject to the policy when it’s not the third parties that YouTube actively sends the information to, that sounds more to me like Terms of service, which are hardly enforceable fully (thank goodness, so we can have our yt-dlp and PipePipe)
