Scrapping is only okay when we’re the ones doing it!

A bit ridiculous, but maybe the SmartTube app via Waydroid?

Not sure if that would operate well on a 4GB Pi.
I suspect you’ll either need to keep the Android System always running in the background and sacrifice some of your RAM or go through a slow cold-boot every time you want to watch YouTube.

That being said, privacy friendly? Eh? I guess more than the official App but I don’t think they’re explicitly doing anything for Privacy since their focus is making sure the app keeps working amidst YouTube’s constant changes.

There’s some browser extensions that let you run the YouTube Smart TV UI on your browser but not really private. You get uBlock at best.

The most private option would be a front-end like Invidious, but it currently doesn’t have Keyboard Navigation, so possibly hard to navigate with a Remote Control, you’d need a mouse or similar device.
There’s a feature request for it but devs haven’t gotten around it yet.

Maybe you could try to bodge it with a userscript? Idk.

Thank you so much for hosting Lemmy.zip, I love it here!

Adding on to this, if you will run your VM locally, try WinBoat.
It handles installing Windows for you, integrates the filesystem and uses RDP to show the app windows, so you can use them side-by-side your Linux apps instead of having to always look at the full Windows Desktop.

The upside of this is that your games aren’t locked to the streaming platform. When you get yourself a PC you just stop paying Nvidia’s service, log your account in and enjoy your games locally.

Who cares.
I’m only on MariaDB because I have brain worms, I have so little data on there SQLite would have been totally fine. 🪱 🪱 🪱

People commonly cite more polished clients and clients available on obscure platforms like legacy smart TVs and such
