I just don't want any proprietary software on my devices (for many reasons, most importantly privacy and user freedom). I can use a VPN to privately connect to the YouTube backend, but things get much harder when the proprietary spyware is actually on my device.

If you want to use YouTube for that, it seems like ReVanced is your only option. But you can also create an account on a Piped instance, and have your playlists synced. LibreTube is the only app that supports this.

I'd say they are objectively better, because are independent, free & open source apps, instead of relying on patching Google's proprietary software.

Corporations steal from us all the time, and they don't even let us buy their content, they only sell limited access that can be revoked at any time (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/9531016 or https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/12904663). Under these circumstances, there are no ethical issues with piracy.

Thunderbird is the best IMO. Mailspring is also pretty good.

There are better alternatives for Android like NewPipe, Tubular and LibreTube

For PC, you can use FreeTube

Tailscale might be the easiest and best solution for this. It's like Hamachi, but more modern and much better. They even have a guide on how to set it up on the Steam Deck: https://tailscale.com/blog/steam-deck

Seems like using a VPN is basically inevitable now

[–] Noxious@fedia.io 7 points 9 months ago (3 children)

DoH, DoT, DoQ, DNSCrypt, or just use a VPN

May I ask which tablet you use and why? Do you use an external keyboard? I find your setup really interesting, and would love to know the reasons behind it
