Or self-host if that's feasible, MAS has been self-hosting for a while now, for example.

Anyone who has projects on Github they care about, you might wanna move it to self-hosting or another git host while you still can, because once MS gets tired of killing e-mails, Github repos are probably going to start getting sniped next.

Hopefully Google doesn't bypass that and record your history to guess your age regardless.

In fact, Google probably still records your view and search history even if you turn those off, and turning off view and search history probably just blocks it from getting added to the recommendation algorithm.

Basically, the best course of action, while it still is a course of action, is to just watch YT either on one of the few Invidious instances left standing, or on Grayjay, but still, purge your search and view history and disable it moving forward for added peace of mind if anything.

Better yet would be to straight-up log out of YT on your browser and only watch YT in Invidious or logged in on Grayjay moving forward.

How long before that extends to PCs and non-Windows OSes are blocked? Also, add non-Chrome browsers to that as well (that includes Edge, Chromium, Brave, etc. as well as Firefox and its forks).

No, the PS3 had an analog multi-out still, it's the PS4 which phased that out and went HDMI-only.

Sounds like the 'clank' slur from the Deus Ex universe.

You got Monero for starters.

Next step would be Collective Shout and the Payment Cartels bullying ISPs into blocking that site and also potentially alternative social media and anything else they don't like, basically forcing them into only being accessible through VPNs or through Tor/I2P, at least unless VPNs start getting blocked and Tor/I2P is deanonymized somehow thanks to these organizations' bullying as well.

Good thing PeerTube exists, you could always just move there. Google stopped being trustworthy for creators as soon as they announced Veo 3 if not even before then.

Similarly, with Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest further embracing AI, you got this site, Mastodon, and Pixelfed to move to as far as the Fediverse goes and even Bsky while they're still anti-AI, although given Bsky is a centralized, corporate platform, what's stopping them from going the way of Google, Reddit, Meta, Twitter, and Pinterest at some point in the future?

They can force custom proprietary spying software on your devices.

• That would block Linux from their borders, which means goodbye Steam Deck in the UK among other things.

Assuming he doesn't find a way to stay in office indefinitely.
