Unlike immutable distributions that lock you out of the native package manager

Direct pacman use is blocked. /usr/bin/pacman is a wrapper around pacman-real

Regardless, I do support attempts to make an immutable and declarative Arch distro. An an ostree implementation on Arch is an interesting experiment. You might want to check out Darch which boots from container images.

    Look if you want to do the 1900s millionaire philantropic bullshit, you just make a nice ornate public space and put your name on it. You don't build a monolithic museum to "your legacy". That's the sort of thing a villain with a Walt Disney mustache would do. Even he would have some taste and not build an obilesk that looks like the missingno Pokémon.

    Its a common courtesy that if you publish something on the AUR, then you actually think people would use it and you plan to maintain it. You don't bother pushing some half baked afterthought to the AUR. Leave it on github. Otherwise you're just squatting a perfectly good AUR package name.

    People are publishing their slop projects as if they intend on maintaining them, but they clearly aren’t capable or willing to actually maintain them.

    This is my #1 problem with it. Just put it on github and call it a day. Don't act like its production ready at all. The #2 issue is namespace pollution.

    So its not tracking you across instances? Then its probably tracking the invidious instance itself and not you in particular unless invidious leaks some amount of data about your browser which is possible.

    If you don't want YouTube to be able to develop a temporary profile from a single invidious session then I think you're out of luck. Either make a new session per-video or give up. Invidious needs to pass YouTube's bot management somehow and once it does YouTube will give it a trackable session token.
