I am trying to re-adjust how much effort I want to put into privacy concerns. Too much stuff I’m using isn’t working properly or using a lot of my mental resources that I need elsewhere.
For (a bad) example: I recently performed a half-switch from my self-hosted Nextcloud instance to ProtonDrive, in the hope that it would spare me the stress to maintain my private Nextcloud. Unfortunately, it doesn’t, as basic functionality like cross-device-sync is not possible (there isn’t even a client app for Linux, as of yet).
This brings me to the question: have you found any services/apps/stuff that significantly eases your life while still being privacy friendly? I know, this is a broad question, but I think this is for the best as this thread then maybe even has use for other users.
From what I understand, NewPipe has been abandoned and someone else forked it to Tubular which includes SponsorBlock.

That’s completely incorrect. From NewPipe’s Github:
We are planning to rewrite large chunks of the codebase, to bring about a new, modern and stable NewPipe. Please do not open pull requests for new features now, only bugfix PRs will be accepted.
…and someone else forked it to Tubular which includes SponsorBlock.
polymorphicshade “stopped” development on their fork of NewPipe, which included SponsorBlock (because NewPipe did not want to include it) and started working on their rewrite of their own fork and/or NewPipe, which is now Tubular.
Very good to know. After following your Github link, I found my way to the blog post that it looks like you are quoting:

You mean the quote block where I said it was undergoing a large rewrite and don’t submit any feature PRs? That was actually the first two sentences of the README.md on the TeamNewPipe GitHub link I gave lol.
