I would have used https://farside.link/ to point to a privacy frontend instead of Youtube directly.
But current tests show that doing so almost never results in a playable video.
So for now you get to visit the nasty spyware-filled Youtube interface. I hope that you all use browser addons that help you mitigate that.

    If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

    I used to love LineageOS, when I used it. But I seriously doubt the credibility of someone saying it is the ONLY sustainable ROM.

    The obvious answer here is GrapheneOS, which is much better supported in-general.

      better supported in what way?

      I’m currently using Graphene. Their support ends when Google stops the support for the device irc.

      I enjoyed Graphene but I had to go back to stock pixel because it was noticeably slower.

      I don’t know why and I don’t know if that is still the case.

      Everything worked flawlessly though, very impressive. If ever I buy a new phone I will be using it again. The only limitation, for me, was performance.

      However, I try to use my laptop for everything I do, just gym/job and the dreaded occasional phone call.

    sustainable is a fucking meaningless buzzword at this point and i will not watch the video or open it in an external media player, but lineageos is indeed pretty good.

    Didn’t make it all the way through the video. In what way is it more “sustainable” than a different ROM?
