[discussion]: regarding the best OS for a pirate

This post started out as a question, but throughout two days of googling it became this compilation of links. I will tell you everything worth mention that I found, share my plan with you, and expect some critics (for the infos of course, please not for the silly hyperactivity of my ADHD brain over such a trivial matter 🥲)....

rush,

If Linux broke that often (in comparison to windows), many of your devices and most of the internet wouldn’t run Linux.

(other than windows PCs and maybe MacOS devices)

rush,

by “most of the internet” I mean a HUGE majority of the websites you interact with being hosted on servers that run, you guessed it, Linux. Additionally, your WiFi router probably runs linux, almost any non-iPhone runs Linux, IOT devices (say, security cameras) usually run Linux, and Linux is even on Mars.

rush,

got our pickaxe swinging from side to side

rush,

well duh, the detection uses JavaScript.

rush,

It proxies content, so whatever it can get from YouTube should be displayable, my guess is that its possible but most instances do not enable it for bandwidth and performance reasons

rush,

Both take resolutions and streams directly from YouTube, my guess is that it may vary a bit depending on the settings the instance host set.

rush,

why would I put a hexbear link when I’m on lemm.ee? 🤔

I’d double-check this isn’t an issue on your end, I can’t reproduce it here.

rush,

No, but subscriptions can be imported manually.

The point is to not load tracking tech YouTube ships with as well as staying relatively anonymous.

rush,

weird, my formatting might be messed up

Try again in a bit, I’ve tried to fix it :)

rush,

uBlock Origin’s default lists with both Firefox and uBO being on their latest is currently undetected. By that I mean they’ve already released fixes.

rush,

The extension menu has “redirect” and “back to original” buttons (or something similar, can’t check cuz I’m on mobile rn)

You could use this to visit the homepage and then let new tabs/videos redirect

rush,

A piece of software that anyone can host on the internet which allows you and others to watch YouTube without loading their original page full of ads and anti-features, whilst also allowing you to have a certain level of anonymity and improved privacy.

(the anonymity comes from collective anonymity, where you’re harder to make out in the crowd, as YouTube only sees a bunch of people watching a bunch of random videos, but not who is watching)
