Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉
Ahh there it is, I knew you'd do that.
I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.
Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I'm lazy), and I'm almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don't have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.
I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).
Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don't like what they're doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.
You can stream remotely via jellyfin if you expose your server to the internet. VPN is safer but not the only option.
Ultimatems aren't boundaries.
What's the software?
Wasn't there a project to continuously mirror YouTube to a peertube instance?
Run it on ancient hardware. If it chokes on computers from the '90s, it's slow.
This person sounds incredibly selfish and entitled. I bet they'd expect you to be the one buying the snacks too.
Did you turn the outline of the center star into a stencil in GIMP and then use that to stamp the other squares?
What does "They thought of doing it makes me crazy" mean? What is "it"? Who are "they"? Why did "they" think of me doing "it"?

Steam's family sharing and in general even just their single account across multiple devices system plus offline mode has this beat into the ground.
And nothing of value was lost
Food and products have 2.3x'd since just before covid started.
You can have mixed emotions.
"DUDE it would be so rad if we supported Linux! Gotta get a bunch of things cleared first and get permission to take on the extra overhead for testing and... But LINUX SUPPORT!"
As a Linux gamer, valve making proton has launched gaming on linux into the stratosphere.
Left. Left. Absolutely left, oh my god.
Here's an exercise in extreme masochism:
The Linux Ship of Theseus
- pick any distro and install it.
- Then, without installing another distro over the top of it, slowly convert it into another distro by replacing package managers, installed packages, and configurations.
System must be usable and fully native to the new distro (all old packages replaced with new ones).
No flatpaks, avoid snaps where physically possible, native packages only.
EDIT: Some clarification on some of the clever tools brought up here:
chroot, dd, debootstrap, and partition editors that allow you to install the new system in an empty container or blanket-overwrite the old system go against the spirit of this challenge.
These are very useful and valid tools under a normal context and I strongly recommend learning them.
You can use them if you prefer, but The ship of Theseus was replaced one board at a time. We are trying to avoid dropping a new ship in the harbor and tugging the old one out.
It may however be a good idea to use them
I submitted a pull request to change the English user-facing strings to exclude the words "Reddit," "Subreddit," and "Multireddit" wherever possible, but there are still more languages to translate.
If you would like to contribute, please consider making a fork of the repo and updating the language strings for your native language. Take care not to change the actual variable names (i.e. leave the word "reddit" and "subreddit" in the variable tags, but change the actual string values).
The languages are available in this folder here, in the various values-... folders:
