I’m pretty sure OP is not the one that made the video.

There is no mention of AI in the video at all.

TLDW: The creator made a search engine for public domain clips that is free (as in money free), since he was annoyed with stock footage providers charging money for them.

Gnome board members most likely blocking it while embezzling donations

I have the same phone as you, it runs smoothly on chromium based browser and slow on firefox. Might just be firefox not being optimized with newer css standards.

Vim/neovim if you are willing to take the time to learn how to use / config it.

Micro otherwise, very sensible keybinds and ux that map to modern gui apps, though it doesn’t come installed in most distro unlike ed and nano.

GoG is a DRM free game store

Definitely looks worse, but I can see why they made the change, gtk is a pain to work with compared to qt

Firefox is a bit annoying on wayland, you often have to force enable hw accel. If you cant figure it out send me a DM, ill be glad to help you through signal/matrix/discord

The patch set is open source, so is the application that does the patches. I don’t feel like it’s worse than downloading most apps. Though you still rely on Google services.

https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager for YouTube (and other App mods), you need to patch the app yourself. (If you are downloading a patched apk you are getting scammed. You have to patch it yourself) https://github.com/mihonapp/mihon for manga / manhwa I use internet archives for paywalls but their might be a better solution. F-droid has a a lot of neat open source app, I guess you know of it since you are picking graphene, but just in case. Firefox supports addons, it’s been a great browser (though its UI is a bit rough sometimes) and could be your solution for YouTube with uBlock and the background play addons. I personally don’t like graphene launcher, I personally use NovaLauncher (the paid version), their is quite a lot of FOSS ones too.

edit: sorry for the formatting, my phone f it up
