Dec23 TUG bonus: a holiday extraganza video

[Bastien DUMONT]

Hi,

I'm a bit surprised, for I can watch this video without signing up (I just tested with Tor Browser to be sure that I don't have a forgotten account to which I would have been automatically connected)...

Personally I am pretty much in favor of not contributing to the quasi-monopoly of a Google service. At least anyone should be recognized the right to upload his/her content on the platform of his/her choice.
