Premium has background playback! I use it to listen to video essays with my phone in my pocket when I'm working, screen off. Revanced was my go-to before premium but it has been a pain for me to patch recently (I'm just lazy) so I'm just using stock YT with Premium.

so true

Yeah I've tried this but the experience isn't all there for me imo. It's certainly a great project though.

Huh, I must've misremembered.

I'm a GenZ-er, and I adblock everywhere I can. What makes the difference with YouTube premium for me is that I fall asleep to YouTube videos on a TV every night, and the advertisements alone can make that experience terrible because you can't adblock YT on a TV as easily as elsewhere. Premium might be one of my best decisions I've made for a platform I spend so much time on. I still donate to Wikipedia and uBlock even if I pay the premium for other services.

Graphene sandboxes Google services heavily, and is enabled and used only at user discretion. It doesn't get higher priority than any other user application on the device. Calyx is alright but I would recommend Graphene much more than Calyx. I don't like either of these though unless you are a privacy nut. If you just want to get out of Google, LineageOS works plenty well although without many of the creature comforts of a stock ROM.

idk man at least their dictators are somewhat competent rulers

The same Zuck that is training "AI" off their platform's user data?

Proxmox sounds like it fits their use case , it's a useful and tweakable solution, and because it's based on KVM you can pass through hardware with IOMMU. Personally, I run Proxmox on my (admittedly not very good) home server with like 12 gigs of ram and a processor from the early 2010s, handles a few VMs just fine with hardware passthrough to a TrueNAS VM. I do run a lot of my micro services on some cheap thin clients (DNS mainly) for redundancy as I mentioned, they were cheap. Home Assistant OS is happy on Proxmox as is Jellyfin with hardware acceleration.

Not an eli5 because I'm still not caught up on it but if my memory serves, RISC-V is an open source architecture for processors, basically like amd64 or arm64, actually I'm pretty sure ARM's chips are RISC derivatives.

Edit: correcting my comment, ARM makes RISC chips, not RISC-V

So you removed all of the windows 11 from the windows 11, sounds pretty tolerable.

This post feels vaguely similar to Putin's justification of his invasion of Ukraine, something something denazification (when only very few extremists were actually Nazis).
