Important clarification: snapshots only make backups faster if you do backups with zfs send, or with other filesystems they have the appropriate command too.

Everything gets a different, long random password. It's not a hassle because my password manager handles everything. It's bitwarden for whatever I may need to access elsewhere, few admin logins there, keepass everything else.

The money is needed for funding the police to implement chat control's and going dark's enforcement.

Piped should be able to work if they implement invidious's workaround. Unfortunately devs don't seem to be active anymore :/

Unfortunately that fee won't stop google's endless thirst for data mining and it's manipulation through "personalized recommendations", and through ads on any other website and mobile apps.

But to be serious, this might be at actual risk to those who are logged in. They were locking out users of their whole google accounts for less, including their emails and the uploaded files to drive.

  • Despite these measures, many users are leaving YouTube or finding workarounds, leading creators to seek alternative revenue streams off-platform.

That is the best part of it! A very welcome change! Basically the first step of becoming an independent creator, and to being able to abandon youtube for any of them.

Ever more reason to switch to Linux sooner than later. Otherwise, Windows 10 LTSC or Pro for Workstation.

This is just my theory, but maybe they want to turn it all into android-levels of lockdown for even stricter DRM and such.

For someone who's into privacy I wouldn't recommend ubiquity at all. A few years ago there was a scandal about them doing telemetry, first in secret without even a setting to turn it off, and when people to to know about it they have made a default-on setting for it. They know you'll most probably use their gear for the outmost routers too, and you won't discover it.

Ok. I also care for it blocking data mining and annoying popups, and out working as a google safebrowsing alternative, but that's harder to argue for.

I'm a Librewolf fan too, but the majority of the hard work is done by Mozilla developers. Their work is very important too, but what they are doing is preconfiguring prefs, adding patches, and writing the patches sometimes. Much easier to be done as a team of volunteers.
