Is Privacy Worth It? (blog.thenewoil.org)

When I announced I would be closing my communities earlier this year, a curious thing happened: a surprising number of regulars replied with some variation of “I think this is my exit.” While some were specifically talking about Matrix, claiming that mine was the only room they were really active in and therefore they saw no...

It is, but like so many things in our current landscape, it's also exhausting.

The sooner pageants are a thing of the distant past the better

it’s not supposed to be

That's the issue. That might be fine for you, but for others we would like it to be. The limitation isn't hardware, so let the users decide whether they want it to be more than a big iPhone.

Fixed

I did hit enter, but only once. Markdown needed 2 enters to not carry to the next return, at least in this app (thunder). I added a second return and it should display correctly now.

I'm genuinely curious: do you re-watch enough YT videos that you need to archive your subscriptions? Or have I misunderstood the use of the plugin? I'm using SmartTube for TV YT content and it's fantastic.

jasep ,

Thanks for the reply. I guess I haven't had that happen to me yet with videos I'm looking for again having gone private.

I'm also not interested in crappy, privacy-invading, ad-shoving YouTube apps, which is why I mentioned SmartTube. In case you haven't heard of it, it's FOSS and has AdBlock & SponsorBlock integrated. It's designed for TV use. If Tube Archivist fits your need though, that's great.

And I (don't) feel fine

jasep ,

Eww, no thank you

Maybe a DBrand skin for Airpods?

There is no reason why this shouldn't be on GitHub since it's likely just a bunch of ADB commands anyway. In the Reddit thread the author repeatedly refused to acknowledge or address the calls to make the tool open source. No thanks, seems too shady to me.

I have this blocked with Blokada locally on my Shield and can confirm it works great. I also prefer the stock launcher just without all the ad junk.

I recently bought a TCL TV with Android TV and I was hoping this trick would work with it but it didn't. So if anyone knows how to make the TCL Android TV launcher interface "stock" and stay that way feel free to point it out.

TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out (gizmodo.com)

The most obvious example is the TikTok Shop. The company is pushing its eCommerce so hard you hear about it more than any other topic on the app, both in ads and organic videos from creators hoping for a share of the profits. The app is even testing a new feature that uses AI to identify products in the background of regular...

Absolutely this is wonderful news

jasep ,

You should probably ask this in a piracy community. I'm not sure if answering here is against the rules.

Apple's response

jasep ,

I don't think anyone here is blaming the users, the comments are saying they shouldn't be surprised.

Users blatantly violate TOS > company bans account > shocked Pikachu face

I agree with the above commenter that they should have expected this. I remember watching SnazzyLabs video about Beeper when it was about to come out, and the video essentially said 'people have been doing this for awhile, I don't think Apple will care about Beeper' and I thought oh yes they will.

Do I think Apple is in the right here? No. Am I surprised they're taking this action? Also no.
