Mhm, I'm aware. I just figured the nice folks here would likely have more experience with codecs and such than elsewhere!
(That, and, if I can build my own replacement Disney+, I would definitely want to share with friends.)

The issue is storage costs. Currently they (and some Blu-ray shows I ripped) are taking up just over 12TB. I bought all of these movies when I had money to spend on stuff like that, but money is short and times are tough. "Storage is cheap" but my wallet is cheaper right now, aha.
It is not an abuse of anyone's creative rights to the convert music from a game you legally own to a different format.
I think Obsidian and Logseq are helping to change this.
For what it's worth, I've been running alternative Discord clients for years (Webcord, discord-screenaudio, and now Vesktop/Vencord) and haven't encountered any issues or bans. By far, the most polished and well integrated is Vesktop/Vencord. I don't consider my Discord account worth risking either, but given that I've yet to see a verifiable report of someone losing access to Discord for using an alternate client (even the ones that enable Nitro subscription features), I think I'm pretty safe.
Personally, I'd say risk it for the biscuit. There are some hacky workarounds but all of them are annoying to set up and finicky. As for alternative platforms, I'm not sure...
Gas fees, fees to convert to fiat, electricity bills for miners / initial investment for stakers... No matter how you frame it, there are still associated fees. Might as well use the standard we have at the moment.
Unrelated, but I would have preferred a stolen, watermarked Getty Images photo rather an an AI-generated one. Fits the pirate vibe better to have blatantly and unabashedly stolen something than to indirectly do so with plausible deniability.
Pardon me, but would this not interfere with partners' ability to host services via 99% of Linux-based servers?
Depending on your threat model, your best bet would probably be to purchase a burner phone at Walmart or something with cash. Then only use the phone for verification purposes.
I know this isn't an answer to your question, but - ViMusic has a radio function? Where?
I've heard (but not been able to verify) that it's less secure, somehow. Although I would imagine the containerization would, somehow, mitigate this.
AV1 is definitely what I'd like to do. I'm not aiming for maximum compatibility; small file size and high quality encodes are my goal. I can transcode if needed.
