      I only have libretube on my phone so YouTube links just open in libretube instead which I believe should address the surveillance aspect

                I’m interested. What is a frontend instance? Like, the server acts as a reverse proxy or something?

          Doesn’t libretube use a piped instance as a proxy by default so our IP isn’t revealed to YT? I guess you could also run a VPN in the background

        Yeah , I love this guy. I learned how creepy precise location is because of him and I basically turn it off for every app on my phone.

        After reading Mozilla’s reports on cars a few years back I already felt dread about the day I get a new car, and this will certainly kill me even more.

        Here’s hoping Slate cars are reported as reliable/ have good fuel economy in the next few years. Cause I really love how minimalist they are + electric.

          Probably have a camera beaming right back to amazon HQ that shuts the engine off if you disable it.
