All your phone number provides is that you have ever used signal? Not what tower you're connected to and therefore approximate realtime location? Your full identity via your telco? Social graph and history of your calls and texts?
I'm not saying it's their fault or that they are volunteering any information, but that's how it is for any US-based corporation (doesn't matter if it's a nonprofit, any legal entity that can be subpoenaed)

I really don't get the big "use signal" push at this point in time because even if it's private and the encryption is solid, it's a fucking American company. It's so easy for letter agencies to get information on their users from them, don't you realize that they can't refuse to give out your number if they ask for it and that once they have that your identity and location are immediately and thoroughly compromised? If you are subject to US jurisdiction and could be seen in any way as opposing its government, I really don't think you should be using it.

Yeah but we’re talking about API tools, not web browsers. People are using postman to see JSON, XML, or whatever horrible format the devs on the other side chose to use, not to render HTML graphically. If you query an HTML page using curl, you should get the HTML back, I don’t see what’s the problem

whereis is not a Bash built-in so it may itself not be installed, plus it exits 0 and returns output even on no match requiring additional logic/processing. which or command are more robust choices for this usecase

You can test if a command exists in several ways, but the most portable one should be using command -v which is POSIX.
if command -v playerctl &> /dev/null
# do things
else
# warn and exit
end

And I know NewPipe works with video, I meant I strictly use it for music (behind VPN) and nothing else for the reason above.
Gotcha, I misunderstood.
I still don’t want Google to link the IPs I use to the content I’m interested in.
But YouTube’s servers only know that some ProtonVPN (ex.) user is connecting. They aren’t able to discriminate your music requests from those of some other user on the same VPN server - based on the IP alone at least. That’s assuming you never generate any traffic on that node while signed into your Google account of course. Is the video vs music distinction because song listens offer less bits of identifying information than videos?
Don’t take this as preaching what you should or shouldn’t do, I don’t judge anyone’s threat model - just always curious about where people draw the privacy vs “comfort” line :)

Don’t expose your real IP, keep a VPN on all the time and not only when you have traffic you want to mask.
NewPipe definitely does play video. I have it installed and it works fine

It is for like 350 days a year yeah. Eating take out food in front of the TV/PC doesn’t count? There’s someone else sharing their experience of Brits just “eating” those liquid protein shakes every day, that seems pretty close too. Of course, cultures are not homogeneous, and you can find Italians that drink protein shakes and Norwegians that are really into cooking high-quality ingredients for others. I’m not sure if you were picturing a country where everyone eats pills or what

Sure, I never said it doesn’t. Just that it is not a centerpiece of the culture. The fact that Americans have a big Thanksgiving dinner once a year isn’t comparable to the approach that the French/Italian/Greek/most Asian cultures have towards food on a daily basis

For many cultures food is just nutrition, something that you have to do. This doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate good food, but it’s not the same as cultures where there is a lot of importance on both the food and the context of consuming it with others
