The biggest surprise for me from this article is that the author didn't like Newpipe, which is surprising for me. I know that it breaks every couple of weeks when Youtube changes something to mess with youtube-dl/newpipe/other systems, but usually within a few hours someone has a dev-build out with the fix, and the main branch gets the fix within a day or two, if that even. I actually think their choice of FDroid is what made the experience painful as it does lag behind I've noticed and I guess it conditions you to wait for the update instead of check the issues and pull a temporary apk. (I like newpipe so much that as a reluctant android user, I have second thoughts on going back to iOS since I'm not aware of any newpipe equivalent (happy to be shown otherwise!)) Overall based on the author's commentary I get why they might like something like the PinePhone as it's less about what it is and more what it represents. Hopefully these phones get to a more stable space in some years.
