Except ancap, they're false anarchists.

They don't have subtitles but they provide a translated audio track (you can select it in video settings)

WDYM "the 1st time"?

I'd rather push for js-free internet as opposed to the one with free js (:

Signal is the most user-friendly option so far, which is also expected, given it's also one of the oldest one of those.

Simplex is also a good-ish option, but somewhat rough around the edges; the biggest benefit is, one doesn't need a phone number or e-mail to start chatting.

Matrix is questionable: it's quite feature-rich, but lacks solid android clients (IMO, fluffychat is among the best so far, yet when I last used it, it didn't handle stickers/custom emojis all that well, for example); as for the desktop/web clients cinny is a godsend due to allowing importing/exporting encryption keys manually, which just works all the time.

Or -- hear me out -- restore shit yourself via edl

Do people really use DMs there?

Exactly like Facebook

Good to see there are still viruses in the wild, I was beginning to think those kinda became some ancient forgotten form of art. [I mean proper viruses, not malware in general]

Most sites use some custom js-based players instead of the native video tag anyways, so I don't exactly think it's an issue.

A small addition to already mentioned stuff. There are multiple ways to deliver the notifications without google services. 1st and older one is by simply letting the app hang in the background indefinitely and ping the necessary servers from time to time, that one almost always works, since app developers can't really rely on gapps being installed; 2nd is UnifiedPush (that's already mentioned sunup [mozilla], but also ntfy [ntfy], nextpush [nextcloud], gCompat-UP [google firebase], NoProvider2Push [fully local]). AFAIK, it works similarly to the way gapps send notifications and uses less battery, but not all apps support it, so you may need to search for forks. For example, the official and, iirc, Foss telegram clients don't, but mercury, nagram{,x} and momo do.

Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

• archiving -- when you don't have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
• ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices -- I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
• bypassing bullshit restrictions -- not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you're not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.
