He shoudn't send DanSupp a cheque directly, but help him setup a non-profit or foundation for Pixelfed, then give that foundation a cheque.

Dan is doing a good job developing Pixelfed, but it looks like a one-man show, and that's a bottleneck for the project.

No. This is no help if YouTube blocks your IP range. And it's not a podcast feed.

Yes, but many YouTube channels don't have a RSS podcast equivalent. YouTube is somewhat of a walled garden, like Spotify is.

restrictions on dozens more vessels that are part of Moscow’s shadow fleet of tankers transporting Russian oil

Yay, finally.

I'm curious as to why those don't get sanctionned faster.

I don't know. My ISP doesn't know. And I won't bother interacting with Google's non-existing support.

My solution is moving away from YouTube whenever possible, for instance subscripting to podcast instead when a creator has a podcast with the same content.

YouTube has blocked a bunch of IP ranges, including residential ones, forcing people to use an account to watch videos. So self-hosting isn't an option for everyone.

Probable source: European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X, by Jack Peat - The London Economic

No source is visible in the post. I don't know if that's an issue with my client, or an oversight.

Have you heard of grocery caddy? It has wheels and can carry more groceries than one person can lift with their own hands.

The heaviest thing I often see people load in their car is a 6-pack of water or soda bottles. It's better for health and just simpler to drink tap water. Drinking from a plastic bottle means drinking microplastics. And I don't need to explain why water is better than sodas.
