yt android has been buggy as fuck for me. randomly disconnecting while casting, captions stopping halfway thru a video and the button for them greyed out until i disconnect and restart the app, no tab buttons at the bottom when i first open and it goes straight into shorts instead of homepage until i back out then restart the app, sometimes when trying to watch a video on the app and not casting it just straight up refuses to play not even showing a buffering symbol just the play button like a static image. it’s gotten ridiculously bad.

don’t know why you’d want to? you may trust your dns server but without dns over https the dns requests themselves are sent plaintext and are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. with dns over https the dns requests are encrypted and that encryption would have to be broken for a MITM attacker to see your requests. more security is better and dns over https costs virtually nothing to use in terms of cpu resources.

edit: oh do you mean whole system mullvad VPN? if so, then yeah dns over https doesn’t really help much but it’s also still a case of why bother turning it off when there’s no benefit to it.

fighting for bitcoin to get an emoji is stupid, but fighting against it might be even stupider. surely there are more important things to spend your time and energy on. it’s a fucking emoji. who cares?
