I've been using OLauncher for years now, it is extremely simple and lightweight but it works for me.

Exactly, most headphones that I like are wired with an ordinary audio jack. I don't really feel inclined to get new headphones for a new phone, and a phone without an audio jack just makes things more difficult for me.

That too! I just don't use it myself because I find NewPipe works well enough for me. However, I should still try it out eventually to see if I'm missing anything big.

  • NewPipe has made my YouTube watching experience way better; it's a standalone app with features like ad blocking, subscriptions, and downloading.
  • F-Droid (particularly the Droid-ify client) is an open-source app store that generally provides quality apps.
  • Obtanium has helped me stay up to date with some of my more obscure apps, which are released only on Github. Obtanium can auto-update apps from a GitHub link or similar, which makes the process way easier.
  • Auxio is a pretty good music player, it's quite lightweight but it also looks good.

All of these are available on F-Droid, I find that many F-Droid apps provide a better or cleaner experience than Google Play apps.

A couple days ago I found a service called Farside, apparently you can replace youtube.com with farside.link/piped to redirect to a random smaller Piped instance. It works pretty well for me, although sometimes I just use il.ax because I'm just lazy and don't want to type that much.

However, YouTube rate limits big Piped instances, so it's better to use NewPipe or a small instance.

[-] zxo@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yep, Piped uses the NewPipeExtractor to load videos, just like NewPipe. However, Piped runs it server side, and NewPipe runs it client side. YouTube likes to rate limit the big instances too, so all you have to do is use a smaller one like il.ax or piped.adminforge.de.

The son is the only one of them I really feel bad for to be honest, he didn't deserve that.

I guess they did not think it through then, that may be one of the most dangerously dumb statements I've heard.

Apparently the pilot's seat was on the toilet too. Like, what? How did nobody object to that?

At least they didnt screw anything much into the hull itself (I hope...)

Yeah, I removed Windows on my laptop a couple years back, and I still run into issues running some video games (darn you Nvidia!). However, usability has been increasing recently, and because I like the UI of my distro I really look forward to the day I can do everything I would want to on Linux.

A Linux distribution, much like Ubuntu and Arch

It is one of the more user friendly distros and (somewhat unlike other user friendly distros like Linux Mint) is pretty quick at updating packages (including the kernel).
