Thanks for your input!

Ah, thanks for the info - I wasn't aware of that.

Yes it is: https://github.com/MarmadileManteater/FreeTubeAndroid

Works well, and you can sync history, playlists etc with SyncThing.

What do you mean by "just a webview"? As far as I know, FreeTube does not exist as a web client that can then just be displayed in an in-app browser.

FreeTube is on Android too.

Oh, I found Dolphin to be a superior experience to File Explorer in Win 10. I had a particular hatred for how it would, when copying files inside a OneDrive folder and trying to instantly rename them, decide to mark the entire name field after about one second (when sync of new file is complete), causing me to erase everything I wrote in that second and having to start naming it again. In my last job, this occurred on a very frequent basis.

If I start the client without being connected through the VPN, my IP does not show up. It is only when the VPN connection is disconnected and I transition from one network interface to another. This is also if I have the kill switch enabled, so I imagine that if the connection is lost, I am safe as all internet access would be blocked then. And that it is only if I manually disconnect myself that this happens.

Could this be a Proton VPN issue? I am pretty sure I checked this previously, and didn't see it before the recent Linux client GUI update, but I am not entirely sure.

I've tried staring with all my might at the different options in the hopes I might identify something. I did turn off the features suggested above in the comment field, but have still been unable to solve it.

Ok, then I don't think that I am missing out on much based on my usage. But I can understand that it can be a pain to rely on some of these built-in systems if you use them a lot.

I don't use these kinds of tools in private unless I have to, and when I do, I found that OnlyOffice has better compatability with .docx-files. I recently had to make some changes and format a .docx-file, and after struggling to make it look correct in LibreOffice*, it did not show up correctly in Word. Output was more or less the same in OnlyOffice as in Word, and after redoing it in OnlyOffice, it looked almost completely correct in Word.

• This is, however, always a problem with these kinds of programs in my opinion.

Hehe, I will from now on!

Yeah, it's about finding the right balance for oneself. I know WhatsApp is very much needed many places, in the same way Facebook Messenger still is here (but to a much lesser degree than before, so there's hope!). Discord I also have, and will keep, but if I find communities I'm looking for on Matrix instead, I rather go there first. Amazon does not really work well in my country, so that is not a big deal to delete.

Regarding e-mails: to prevent lock-in, I set up custom domains that I use with Proton, that I can easily migrate to another service provider if needed in the future. I have one for personal communications, and use a mixture of catch-all aliases and SimpleLogin for new signups and accounts I want to keep. I also have one domain for semi-anonymous accounts more associated with my "online personas" than my real identity. This fits my threat level nicely.

I have also rid myself of streaming accounts now (last one is heading towards expiration within a couple of weeks). But instead of not consuming any media, I must admit I have taken to piracy again. The goal is to be a lot more conscious about the content I consume - too much time has been spent on mindless browsing for something to watch on Netflix and garbage movies / shows. Now I host Jellyfin locally, and I control exactly what content is there in the first place.

As to your last paragraph, I did not really understand what you are asking about?
