And it has an Android fork (FreeTube Android), and can have playlists, subscriptions etc. synced across devices with Syncthing. It does sometimes result in sync conflicts though, but if you reload it before using it on a device, you will be fine. Most sync conflicts I get are for history, and that’s fine by me to lose some history.
WE WOULDNT BE BLOCKING ADS IF YOU REGULATED ADVERTISERS LIKE YOU ARE TRYING TO REGULATE VIEWERS.
I still would.
I use it consistently with few issues. Once in a while, usually on Thursdays (when it seems YT rolls out changes), something breaks, but the devs are quick to fix it. The last issue I experienced was when YT transitioned to SABR, and it was out for a day or two before they had things working again. I am at least perfectly capable of going without for a day once every two months.
It’s also one of the projects I’ve used to learn more about how fixes are worked on in FOSS. I will typically run nightly builds also - I find it pretty cool to follow an issue and once they push a fix I can instantly grab that fresh build without waiting for it to be packaged.
Not sure if you are joking or not, but I’m pretty sure that only shows a default starting position of the “gauge”, and not the rating it has received so far. It’s bad design because it looks like everything is left-leaning, but I guess they wanted to uae a gauge in the neutral position as an illustration. I might be wrong though…
You can have term limits without allowing them to retire a decade ahead of the rest of the country. They would in that case just not be eligible to continue work in the parliament.
Are you talking about baloo, the file indexer?
I just wish they didn’t also constantly try to force backdoors into everything…
No no, on Windows it is not your computer, it is “This computer”. The days of “My computer” are long gone.
This is what I ended up doing. Works well, got it working both with standalone Dolphin and through Retroarch easily, and it even has this fun mouse mode that is cool for my living room PC (but that I still rarely use).
With direct Bluetooth I did get it working fine in Dolphin, but the Bluetooth range on the wireless chip was so poor that it was unreliable from my couch.
I tag all my music through MusicBrainz Picard before adding to my server. I think most of the artists are good after that (i.e. if there is a featuring artist, it becomes a separate entry), but I typically use the album artist field to browse by artist.
ETA: I have run into enough cases of Picard wrongly tagging my music that I wouldn’t want it automatic. It is not often, but enough that I would be annoyed.

Ah no, it’s not - I have been fooled by this community-driven approach. They are in a position to enshittify, so this might not be a good long-term solution.
I was actually unaware that IMDb is owned by Amazon. I will redouble my efforts to use TMDB instead.
I have ended up using Zotero for this, which takes a snapshot of the webpage for offline reading (and preservation). Synced to other clients through my WebDAV server. Originally only used Zotero as a reference manager for academic journal papers, but liked using it more broadly.
I just learned that Fairphone (Dutch company) apparently is 100% compatible with Ubuntu Touch now. I have an FP4, but don’t dare replacing CalyxOS just yet - but I’m looking for a used Fairphone now to try it out with, if I can find one cheap enough.
From their own words: “The Fairphone 4 in combination with Ubuntu Touch is currently the best option, if you value sustainability, fair trade materials, repairability and independency from Google and the Android operating systems.”
Oh, first time hearing about them. Interesting. Does not seem flashable on other phones than their own at the moment? In any case, the year of Linux mobile is certainly nigh!
You could run Waydroid on it, which I think would let you use most of the apps you need, except maybe banking apps and the like.
I would love to make a move, but my reason for not trying out for example postmarketOS yet, is the lack of access to several of the core phone features. From the postmarketOS wiki page, for my phone (Fairphone 4), it lacks access to camera, GPS, NFC (don’t care), audio and battery (not sure what is meant by that), and has partial support for calls (not sure what is meant by partial support).
I just now checked the status for Ubuntu Touch however, and it seems like they have actually gotten these things working. Interesting!
Their demise wasn’t due to lack of popularity, the company just had problems getting established, and ultimately didn’t survive its initial growth phase.
Hm, I thought their demise was due to them arbitrarily going back in time.
Genuine question: is no banking app access really a showstopper, if that is the only thing missing? My bank app does not work on CalyxOS, but it has turned out to be no problem at all since I always use my laptop for serious banking tasks anyway. Are browser based bank apps starting to be phased out forcing people to use mobile apps? Is it just a preference?
For me, the lack of certain phone features has been the showstopper. I still need my phone to be a phone. So postmarketOS is not going to work on my phone. I recently learned that Ubuntu Touch supposedly has full support for my device, including phone stuff, and I want to test it out, but I am trying to get a cheap second-hand version of the device to test.
