Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay
I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.
If there was a Linux approach to smartphones, I’d be interested. Instead, it’s a choice between two large corporations. And one of them receives the majority of its income from advertising. So that’s why I chose what I perceived to be the lesser of the two evils.
The lesser of two evils is Android as it's like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it's all closed.
There are Linux phones, like the Pinephone and postmarketOS, but they're not as polished as Andrpoid and iOS
GrapheneOS?
