Exactly. This was always a trivial performance difference, but the toggle was added just to satisfy anyone who might hear such a statement and be unreasonably concerned.

For YouTube frontends: On the Linux desktop, there is FreeTube, on IOS there is yattee (IIRC), then there are web based front ends from invideous.

Louis Rossman mentioned the other day that they are in the process of creating an app that will allow you to follow your chosen creators across multiple services, so that you can continue even if their primary platform removes them.

If you're looking for YouTube alternatives, check out Peertube, Odyssey, and Nebula (I haven't looked at Peertube or Odyssey in a while, so I can't comment on how they are doing).

Zach Star's video on the Leplace Transform gave helpful context when learning classical control theory.

He has another cool video covering the Niquist stability criterion from control theory.

Also, check out Tech Ingredients for some cool hands on application of engineering principles.

His videos are great. They often cover a significant portion of a full semester engineering course in 20 minutes.

Less boring lectures are also great. They go into more depth and follow up with videos of worked examples.

Some basic information, including building numbers, can also be edited from within Organic Maps.

Address based search works, but the data is largely lacking.

You can help by adding building numbers from within Organ Maps (tap a building and, then "edit place").

The underlying OSM dataset supports building number interpolation, so even a few accurate entries could be very helpful.

Open maps will improve greatly in the near future. The Overture Maps Foundation is working on an open mapping dataset to rival Google.

Lichess - rather than chess.com

Rustdesk - remote desktop software

Syncthing - rather than Dropbox

KDE Connect - phone/computer integration (notifications, media control, mouse and keyboard, file sharing, presentation remote, clipboard sharing, etc)

Aves gallery,

Organic maps

PlayBook - audiobook player

Bitwarden - password manager,

Droid-ify - F-droid client

Element - matrix client (potentiall alternative to discord)

GrapheneOS is also great.

Unless open camera has improved dramatically, the GrapheneOS camera app is far better.

But did you know that when Spotify negotiated streaming rights from the labels, the labels only agreed if they could take an ownership stake in Spotify. Then the labels insisted on LOWER streaming fees for themselves. This shifts their income to come from their Spotify stake, which they don't have to pay to artists.
