Yeah, that is a very valid option! I don’t like it when people not into collecting do it, though. Because it makes zero logical sense for a digital copy to be tied to a physical thing, unless you like the sentimental value of said physical thing as well.

It’s a Pixel… Y’know, the phone universally supported by degoogled OSes including Graphene? The ease of unlocking the bootloader is the only reason I have one at all!

I am not saying church isn’t far from God. I am saying that the whole concept of using AI for this is pretty offensive by itself.

Unless you build trust with the kid. So that if the child is having disturbing thoughts, you’d be the first person they’d find unconditional help from, and that in really bad cases - you’d help arranging professional therapy for them.

Source: worked on me.

Now that’s blasphemy.

You don’t have to upgrade the TV itself. If the TV cannot handle the new format on its own, external box is enough.

Most of what I download are webrips, though.

Now that’s the Technology community I like.

You can trust your own relatives or friends though - as long as you encrypt the drive you give them. Doesn’t have to be a service.

Some regions do have Youtube blocked tho

Not to mention only available on certain phone brands and certain carriers (where I am, only one of major four).

From what I’ve heard, it depends on Google services, including for payment.

I don’t like it at least because it’s Electron. I had better experiences with Nheko and Cinny.

My concern is that they’d demand not just profit, but growth. But I wonder if they’d be able to go on by charging for commercial use - hosting servers, tech support, etc

I didn’t personally have problems with reliability (same as for XMPP, Matrix however has broken for me a few times). As for multiple devices - I just use two, with identical names and profile pictures, one on laptop and one on phone.

I do that. Every game I buy on Steam corresponds to a DRMless copy.

I don’t like that a paid plan gives worse experience than free tools. For example, the downloads not being files you can store indefinitely and play by anything. Or not all ads being guaranteed to be blocked.

Edit: it would not fit my usecases entirely. First - I listen to a lot of Youtube videos as podcasts, so the audio downloads have to be in my podcast app together with downloads from my RSS feeds, so app-locked ones would be useless. And second - those would be useless for archival. Something increasingly necessary given how Youtube has already deleted some of my favorite videos.

Ew, it is still on by default :( Unless you set your browser to save site data for this site, you would still see the AI :( Fortunately, the Javascriptless version has no such pest.

Selfhost able. But yeah, “decentralized” would be indeed a more fitting term.
