I won’t be able to browse suggested videos

Whats funny, you do get recommendations on videos, so would be quite easy to grab the last 30 or so videos of your subscriptions and display some of those on the home-page.
But at that point.. might aswell switch to Freetube/Piped

In found this often breaks sites, so the combination is still better.

Just FYI Germany likes to make things more difficult, so with federation every sub-area is separated in many aspects and has own agencies for different things..

BfDI is only responsible for health and internet-provider institutions (and a few more).
Otherwise you can send it to the one where the company is located at, or always where you are located at. (they will forward it, but that can take a few months, so better to submit where it has to go).

EU Cookie Directive applies to all website owners within the EU aswell as Websites which target EU users.

It gives clear rules for different categories of cookies like how you need to display them and for which you actually need consent to be allowed to use them.
It also sets rules for how easy certain actions have to be and granularity.
(very simplified)

The real MVPs are websites not needing a cookie banner because they only use required cookies for which you dont need a banner.

If it would be hard to do and having to bypass DRM yes, but its actually similar to what the player already does.

A court already ruled here that downloading youtube videos does not break the piracy laws by providing own means of downloading and saving the unprotected data.

Of course that does not include allowing the download feature of the client itself.

Downloading from youtube is piracy? How? If it was like a Youtube Red show, sure, but the normal videos everyone can see for free?

For me piracy begins with aquiring things or features which usually cost money to get whilst also taking into account if its obvious a thing should cost money in such an environment (thats also how our piracy laws are worded here).

So our piracy laws also classify things as piracy if it was obvious the deal was too good to be true like Windows for 2$ on eBay or chinese ROM cards for 5$ with hundreds of games.

Videos on youtube, including music, are a normal occurrence. A full blockbuster movie is usually not.

Probably depends on who can force who to which extend and gain how much.
I'd argue the US still has the most control, may that be good or bad..

I dont want my data with any of them, so i prefer smaller alternatives, designed to be more secure, but probably also more of a hassle if stuff breaks..
Sadly these giants probably still get plenty of data because they control most of the internet.

Most fastboot options dont show the logo until windows bootloader comes along.
Though i am not sure how or why the logo is displayed when windows loads? Is that the same image? Loaded and displayed again or just didnt clear the display?

Yes, it can execute code regardless of OS installed because it persists on the Mainboard and loads before any OS, making it possible to inject code into any OS.

One at a time, but comparing A to B, because B is also doing bad things doesnt negate nor justify the impact of A, which in this case, i'd say is worse.
Yes, I believe it is slightly preferable to be under surveillance by an unstable democracy with a history of disregard for other nations laws, than to be monitored by China’s Communist Party, which has previously used such data for oppression and manipulation.

Though i agree and would make, if possible, both responsible for their actions and control over others. And here it also seems, there is more control over the big sea than in Asia, making one marginally better than theother.
