10 months late but in case you still need and there are podcasts you hear through services like youtube and rumble, there's the Android app Grayjay. It aggregates multiple services and one of the people involved in the app's creation is Louis Rossmann.
You mean Nijimiss? I'm running the searches for that within Kbin Social, and not the opposite, and tinkering with the VPN, Kbin doesn't seem to have problems with EU IPs (isn't it from Poland? I have the impression I read something on that previously).
Bandcamp, Supraph Online, Ototoy, Uta 573, Steam and GOG's OSTs and Apple's iTunes store have been my to-go options. No DRM, no worries. Just avoid Apple's music subscription, as it is DRM'd.
No need to worry. Not complaining about the news you found. Rather, I think it was perfect, as a very worrisome aspect could be extracted from it, one that wouldn't be present in the rare news pages that go straight to the point.
In a 12-paragraphs news, with the later half being shorter than the first, the first 5 paragraphs are for praising the security changes (a pretty big red flag), the 6th is for introducing the important part (while using fearmongering), and only in the 7th and 8th paragraphs that they go through the important parts, with the method itself being basically a way to scare all but the most stubborn users.
I seriously suggest that the OP (or anyone else, really) unlock the bootloader as soon as possible, and if possible, changing the OS for anything Xiaomi can't touch.
I haven't read anything about Xiaomi tightening phone modding, but one thing I remember reading often when it came to modding systems for other devices is, "if possible, never update your system", so maybe something to keep in mind.
By this logic, demos from GOG could be posted too, since both are appetizers for something else (in Prime's case, an appetizer for the paid service), and both can be claimed.
