If you're sandboxing Google play services, you are, by definition, still installing play services. They are still running, but are sandboxed. So I don't see how you see any less battery drain.

I run MicroG instead of the proprietary Google play services, and while I do see a bit ofl an increase in battery life for light usage, for medium and heavy usage it's pretty much the same. Admittedly my battery is pretty old.

What do you mean? You can always use a distro like Steam OS (or any other Linux distro) on any x86 PC and still use a mouse and keyboard. Or use a Steam Deck and plug in a mouse and keyboard.

Tbf I've heard crazier things which have ended up being true in the past week alone...

I should really look into peertube. With YouTube always breaking compatability with Newpipe and other apps, I'm tired of having to deal with YT's outages

I remember when it used to be all the REALLY interesting stuff was root only, yet a lot of normal interesting stuff was non-root. Now even with root, modern Android can be a pain and the interesting stuff just pales in comparison with true Linux

Bringus Studios had a video yesterday on the alpha I Dec kit for the original devkit. Not only was the segway pretty slick but it had his signature humor included which actually made me watch through half the ad. First time I didn't skip the sponsor which I think says something about his writing and delivery

... until you run into a problem which you can't figure out on your own. Then you search the web, and only find how to do it with Y, instead of the technology you used which is called X. So after determining that you're truly stuck, you switch to Y. Until you get stuck again, you search the web, and can only find how to do it in Z. And everyone online tells you you're stupid to use X or Y in the first place. And the cycle continues.

This is why I gave up on being a web developer and stayed far away from JS.

Do you have a link? All I see in a quick internet search is about a crypto company

If it's the Steam version, why not play through proton?

Totally off topic but what is that "Anti Commercial AI thingy" that you have linked? Is it to prevent AI scraping?
