There reaches a tipping point though. When you hear something radically right leaning does it plant a seed that slowly shifts you? Or does it annoy you and get immediately pushed away?

There are github repositories where people curate a list of domains providing temporary emails or email aliases and admins can just point to the maintained list to block.

In the ~20 I've created so far I've had 2 services that wouldn't accept simple login. For those I've used proton mail's built in email alias service where you get 15 aliases with their proper domain.

To everyone saying they've changed to protonmail, check out https://simplelogin.io/ , owned by proton and free for all paying proton members. Unlimited email aliases so you can have a unique email per service. The apps also on fdroid.

I've played through with a switch controller. It's good, only downside is when you need something specific in your inventory, typing to search isn't there, which comes in handy when you need to insert specific quest items. But like I said I played it through, very usable.

OneNote web interface can work as an intermediate step while you work out alternatives. May I suggest either obsidian or logseq with syncthing or webdav.

I found syncthing acted weird with signal backups. It would error out the first time signal changed the backup. Did you have to change anything?

Thanks for the detailed reply. So does the underlying YouTube app never receive app store updates? I'm surprised it went years without some sort of connection issue.

Significantly easier? Newpipe is simply installed from fdroid. I've only looked for a few minutes but it looks like revanced "patches" YouTube. Does that mean it doesn't create its own app but overtakes another? How does that interact when the app underneath gets a play store update?

Could you consider that thoughts are just a form of sensory input?

The term to search is "volume equalization", windows has this option built in, not sure about Linux sorry.
