I already download all my media so I have offline access.

I’m honestly sick of social media. I mainly just view it as a news source, only commenting on Reddit Lemmy threads because its convenient to do so.

How is #4 going to work if I use Linux on my primary devices?

I watch without an account and they’re definitely tracking my watch history regardless of that

This seems simultaneously overkill and extremely minimalist at the same time.

Firefox can open videos, but if I try to skip ahead on a HEVC encode I only get audio and there’s performance issues in general. Also no way to change audio tracks and no subtitles.

just use a browser.

For offline videos?
