Definitely NileRed for me. Started watching his video about bulletproof wood yesterday and fell asleep after around 17 minutes. It's something about his voice and presentation that makes it really relaxing for me.

I don't think he meant that literally.

I feel the same way. I switched to NewPipe recently, while degoogling my phone for privacy reasons, but I'm still using YouTube when I'm at my desktop. The recommendations are just better at finding new content for me.

Isn't chrome also based on chromium? I would argue they are equally bad, because both are proprietary.

Have you tried installing it with no internet connection? That's what I always used to do, to get a local account during installation.

Ironically, a frog would actually jump out of the water if its temperature slowly increases.

I guess you could say, that the official USB-C specifications are the "hardware manual".

I was also curious, so I found this page. It looks nothing like the screenshot (maybe because Im on mobile), and the only sentence coming close, under the "Extra online protection" heading, is: "Reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address". As if that means anything if you have Google apps installed on your phone.

But after reading more, I found a link to their how-it-works page, which then linked to their github page. Is beeing open-source really enough to show it's secure and private? I still wouldn't trust them.

If you own the car; I would say it's completely reasonable to modify it, as long as its still legaly able to drive after. In Germany your car needs to be regulary checked by TÜV to be street legal.

If this is legal probably depends on where you live, but I would be suprised if it's illegal in any developed country. (Im not a lawyer btw.)
