Duane O'Brien is the new ED at @osi! What a rock solid choice. Duane is a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and caring person and I'm encouraged that OSI selected him to lead.

            Odysee receives huge UI improvements and some new features: new video player (mimicking YouTube's video player), home page top slide now displays a channel preview the 3 latest videos and a follow button, mini video player when hovering a video's thumbnail, floating player, search field on channel > Content pages, revamped content upload flow divided into multiple pages, Advanced Editor for writing comments (with text formatting buttons), favicons displayed next to links in text posts and comments

            FreeTube also received some UI revamp: new video player (also somewhat similar to YouTube's), some text changed to first letter uppercase instead of all uppercase, icons added to subscription page
            (Why does everyone copy YouTube's video player? It looks kinda ugly... Also, the bottom panel's buttons are barely visible if the video is bright. Odysee's new video player at least has a darker background for those buttons)

                The Dutch, French and German workspace teams were already working together on a Linux OS within the EDIC's 100 day challenges, but I don't think a choice for a distro has been made yet. 🇪🇺
