I used to run YouTube Vanced on my phone for years until Google killed it a few years ago. Since I was already paying a monthly sub for YouTube Music (been using that since the Google Play Music days and had my whole iTunes uploaded there) I decided to spend the extra 1-2 bucks a month for the Youtube Music + YouTube Premium combination, since that seemed like less effort than keeping up with ReVanced builds constantly.

Last month I tried getting a student discount for my subscription, but after a day I got an email telling me Google was canceling my sub for an unspecified reason. I decided not to renew it, and instead downloaded ReVanced, and spent a few days redownloading all the albums I only had on streaming, and integrating those along with my old iTunes folder into my Jellyfin I already had set up for movies.

Now I'm saving 15 bucks a month, and have regained full control over my music library. Feels pretty nice, and the Symfonium music app on Android looks 10x better than the ever-changing UIs of YTM ever did.

Also feels great not to give a single cent to an accomplice to Israel's genocidal mania across the middle east anymore. I had already severed ties with Google's mail, photo storage and search a year or two ago. Get fucked Google.

Just as a heads up, if you aren't concerned about "copyright"/"intellectual property" the better way would be to download native h.265 rips instead of re-encoding your existing h.264 files, as those will look better since you aren't compressing the already existing compression artifacts of your old files. Copy of a copy and all that.

John Carpenter?
Also like all of those people are dead.

For German bands I really enjoy Kaput Krauts and Das Flug who did a joint album about 10 years ago where they covered each others songs.

Never before have I felt so personally attacked.

Unlike a crosshair, the cursor arrow doesn't obscure whatever its pointing at.

Fascinating and funny problem, great thread.

I got a low TV shelf with wheels last year which has been amazing for rolling the TV wherever I need it. Absolute game changer since you can sit wherever you want and always get a good viewing angle, and all the HDMI ports and such are easily accessible.

Minimalistic ones made of steel can look pretty sleek too.
