Change your DNS resolver to one of these https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/
Who gives a fuck whether it’s legal?
I recommend NextDNS, it allows you to block ads, trackers and other unwanted stuff on the DNS level. Check out this video: https://neat.tube/w/19r4YnE6fpce6e2B9MepnB
Average DB experience
I wouldn’t go to Yandex directly, just enable it in SearXNG
It also has an option to search 1337x, The Pirate Bay, SolidTorrents and other sites directly
There’s AirVPN
Let’s not forget the dozens of big tech companies run by absolute morons that bring products that nobody wants or needs and only stay afloat due to legacy, stealing data & selling it, and/or venture capital.
You just described Twitter/X
Yeah, as far as I’m aware, it just runs a copy of the NewPipeExtractor locally, that’s the same stuff that’s used in the Piped backend.
You can also disable the Piped proxy at Settings -> Instance -> Disable Piped proxy
I prefer Tailscale Funnel for these kinds of things. NetBird and ZeroTier also work just fine if you don’t want to expose your services to the public.
If you use 9.9.9.9, you should try Mullvad DNS (with adblocking) or AdGuard Public DNS
Yeah, that’s probably true
That’s understandable
A good laptop running a stable and gaming-optimized distro like Bazzite with a good controller connected to it should be as good, if not better than the Steam Deck.
No, you can’t connect to official servers. But there is some online functionality and you can play together locally or over the internet.
It works pretty well for me. I don’t have any problems on piped.video, piped.adminforge.de and piped.ngn.tf
You can also just disable the Piped proxy in the settings, effectively making it function like NewPipe
The only thing you’ll be missing is lack of Internet features and the GUI.
You can even run the Switch UI in Suyu (or other forks of Yuzu): https://youtube.com/watch?v=rOLoVZ_br9M
And both Ryujinx, as well as Yuzu (and Forks) offer local/online multiplayer:

Calyx is unfortunately pretty slow to release security patches, uses privileged apps with root access like microG and the F-Droid privileged extension by default and doesn’t really provide any unique features. All of the privacy features of Calyx are either already present or can be easily replicated in a better form on GrapheneOS. Take Datura Firewall, it’s yet another privileged app with root access which adds unnecessary attack surface, and is less secure than the Graphene equivalent. GrapheneOS implements a network permission toggle, which is embedded in Android’s native permission manager and uses the INTERNET permission to restrict network access. It disables both direct and indirect network access, including the local device network (localhost). GrapheneOS also has a bunch of unique security features, that can’t be found on any other Android ROM, like for example a hardened memory allocator, hardened kernel, secure app spawning, improved SELInux policies, Duress PIN/Password, driver-level USB-C control, Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes and soon App Communication Scopes. GrapheneOS also includes Sandboxed Google Play services, a better GMS implementation than microG, which doesn’t require root and has better app compatibility.
