If you don't mind trading sound quality for convenience, I suppose. Bose has been a snake oil provider for decades.

I see what you did there.
I'd argue this as well. I see it in a similar way. Linus is obviously not trying to sit on some high horse and condemn piracy, he's just calling a spade a spade.
New account = new TOS I imagine?
Of all the current media subscription services, this is the one I have no issue paying for. The service I get for the money I pay is appropriate. I've taken my own measures to limit the amount of PII that Google can vacuum up from my life as well. I'm fine with them knowing what I like to watch and providing algorithmic recommendations for new content. I police said algorithm aggressively to ensure its always on topic and never trying to show me ragebait or shit I don't want to see.
When the day comes that the cost outweighs the return I'll stop paying for it and use Grayjay or Newpipe or whatever other option there is. If its a full on dystopia by then, well y'know what? I don't need Youtube to survive. I'll be fine without it.
You should look up the definition of the word "meme".
Have you not heard of the Steam Deck? Steam's own hardware is running Linux for gaming... SteamOS is Linux....
KDE really is nice. It can be a little bit buggy when messing with themes and panels and stuff but overall its nice. I've got it looking like waybar and I'm really enjoying it.
You're not wrong. The inertia people have towards this stuff is unbelievable sometimes. You will be fine without marketplace. You'll survive if you don't see fresh content on Reddit every second of your life. People act like FAANG is fucking Kuato growing out of their abdomen, inseparable but through pain of death.
Life existed long before this exploitative shit.
Is there a single non nefarious use case for deepfake technology? I honestly can't think of anything.
You've got the burden of proof backwards, pal.
Y'know this guy seems intelligent enough to come up with this scheme, but not intelligent enough to keep a low profile. I honestly don't understand that.
Personally, I'd do the math to pay myself a living wage with this so that my actual work salary is nothing but a cherry on top; manage it so it seems like hype is ebbing and flowing in a natural way. If you ever figure out a way to break the system like this, you should never act in a way that draws attention to yourself.
