They always make the devil so hot. Yes, yes, I'm very sure you're pious.

And the difference there is that Vanced didn't have capital behind it while Grayjay does. Futo can fight Google in court, Vanced couldn't. Even if a company has no legal ground to stand on, they can still fuck you financially with legal fees and a drawn out case.

Unless they were to stick a TOS, usage agreement, or API key requirement on Innertube then anyone's free to use it however they like. Legally, Grayjay is in the clear here. And practically they're fine as well since altering Innertube to block Grayjay would mean that Google would have to alter their in house processes and that costs money.

Rossmann and Futo have explicitly stated that purchasing their soft is a purchase, not a donation.

Furthermore, Grayjay does not use the Youtube API and so Google has no ground to stand on.

How would a cloud OS even work? Like what would your PC boot in to?

In order to get my copy of Cyberpunk (GOG) working I ended up running GOG Galaxy via Steam and launching the game from it. Possibly the most ape brained solution to that problem, but if it works it works lol

Was a bitch for me to get HOMM3 set up. But in the end I got it working. Would certainly be more plug n play on Windows, but I don't mind a little inconvenience if it means I'm not supporting from fuckass tech bro that wants my data.

Tbh I see this as a problem. For instance, I've been considering going into politics and one of my main concerns is the security of our government's information. Right now the Americans could have a direct line of access to all of our doings simply because we use Windows. Not to mention there's the matter of Recall which, while not implemented in Windows 10, will likely be included when the government switches from Windows 10. That itself is a huge security risk. So the only options are to implement an existing Linux distro or to fork and maintain one specifically for the government. And that would be all well and good if it didn't require retraining every government employee to use Linux.

I'm not entirely certain about that. For instance, on Linux I always have to look up how to create symlinks even though I've been using the OS exclusively for three years. On Windows, it is: Right click -> Create shortcut. It's easier for most people to remember a 2 action process than a console command with multiple options and specific syntax. But of course, this is only one example and doesn't apply to everything. For instance, I have absolutely no trouble remembering mkdir, cp, or rm. I think it's a bit of a mixed bag.

The borderless UI is so good, honestly. Do you know if there's a way to alter the player control UI? Am wanting to get into ricing and that looks like it provides a great solution for some minimalist ideas I'm having.

Yeah, just OSS. Which is fine by me, frankly. In a capitalist system there are very few ways to make FOSS soft compete with closed source/proprietary. One way is to convince people to buy the soft. Another is to get industry funding. Blender is one of the best examples of this. But Grayjay can't use the Blender model because the biggest player in the industry (Youtube) has a vested interest in keeping the app from being developed.

My reaction was probably a bit heavy handed as well. My apologies.
