I mean with something easier than OBS, but which works on KDE or any other desktop. something like OnTopReplica on windows

sure! I use the libredirect addon: https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension/ works in firefox on desktop and mobile

it redirects various privacy invading services to privacy preserving alternative frontends that are ran by volunteers. by default it only redirects youtube, so you would need to toggle on reddit too. Currently it only uses 1 redlib instance by default, you may select more to be used in the addon's settings.

redlib and other frontends are distinct projects. their project page often has a list of public instances. here is redlib's page: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib
but you normally don't have to look at it because libredirect updates its instance list automatically

sometimes an instance is temporarily blocked by reddit, if that happens you can quickly switch to a different instance in the addon's menu.

redlib and other frontends usually have some cpnvenience settings, be sure to check them out. but they need cookies allowed, and they are not synced across instances.

this does not necessarily need goofle code. It's just slight theming. limited to ugly pale colors, if I had to guess

Probably. I think they may fine homeserver operators in the EU, maybe even raid their homes or jail them. But to me its unclear whether hosting it, or also using it will be a criminal offence.

Hopefully neither, and we can jail the real terrorists, those who want to get this implemented.

isn't it possible with some external utility? OBS can capture individual windows with pipewire, and it can render that to a new window, so it must be possible with something easier too

once I noticed failures on my ventoy pendrive because a specific bootable system had unexpected bugs each time I booted it. after I have rewritten it from backup, it was working fine again.

but bitrot works this way not just on pendrives, but SSDs and HDDs too. the system won't know unless it tries to read the file. SMART selftests may help. but even then, what good it is if it does not let you know actively?

are you sure that it has that access?

on my phone the "select file to open" button just opens the system built in file browser, which is used to grant apps access to individual files or directories.

I think internal storage access was behind a permission too for very long, if not always. and I mean a toggleable permission that is default off.

I don't think re-registration is a problem for most of us. we just don't want to go there on a daily basis anymore. especially since all apps have been kicked out other than that garbage, data mining official app.

nowadays if I go there, I only do because I'm following a link, and then I always use a redlib instance to view the content

you don't need the whole usb drive to fail. It's enough if a sector or two went corrupt, and you won't be able to open (or even see) a directory, or copying a file will stop in the middle. maybe files disappear too, and then at best they get recovered to FOUND.001 or such directory without path and name, maybe also just partially, or interleaved with other lost or deleted files' fragments

but surely microsoft keeps multiple copies! they are infallible!!

okay, all good then. the reason of my suspicion is that I'm not confident about the practical legality of warrant canaries. thought maybe you couldn't say it according to spec, so maybe tried to publish an invalid one by including a little "mistake".
