Aren’t those just standard door knobs?

Exactly, those two are pretty standard.options.

As far as door latches go the cross bar and draw bolts probably predate it by thousands of years but I don’t use those regularly.

As physical tech:

• we have lever door handles at work and wheel and axle door knobs at home.

As digital tech:

• Comma Separated Values as a notation predates computers. Then CSV has been used as a computer file format at least since one of the Fortran variants added support in 1972.

• The implementation has changed as filesystems evolve but the basic directory/file model of data storage and the associated tools ls/dir, cd, rm/del have been around a while. ls has been known by that name since Multics in 1969, but can trace its lineage back to listfon CTSS in 1961.

Anything that predates copy/paste is doing alright.

All good, The comment I replied to has been edited to specify monotheism after I wrote my reply.

That’s only one (narrow) definition of a god.

To take a well known example, is Loki “good”?

Having control over the UI helps. I never want to see “shorts” on start-up but its also nice to have control over share/cast buttons, do I care about up/down votes? Auto play or next video recommendations?

Then there are options to skips youtube ads (by just not loading them) and sponsor segments (by using sponsor block).

Continued playback with a locked screen can be handy sometimes too.

A lot of the UI is designed to encourage user engagement and monetize that engagement. My priorities differ.

Some of these features are available with YouTube Premium but that’s comically over priced (and still doesn’t offer as much control). The Family plan is currently around 150% the price of Netflix Premium :/

Revanced works for me and my family (mobile and tablet).

I’m using smartube on android TV and its functional but I would like to hear about alternatives if anyone has a recommendation.

I joined my older brother when we was watching the zero boys on VHS.

I would have been around seven at the time and some scenes were a little too much.

There is a fair bit of mental illness in the family, the early asylum scenes hit a bit too close to home for 5 year old me.
