GrapheneOS isn’t available for anything older than the 6 series.

Meanwhile, our political parties can collect all they want without regulation.

Thanks, unfortunately the page will not open for me. No big deal, I got enough details from the half article I read.

I find visiting a site without JavaScript will bypass most paywalls. Not on this site. Oh well.

I’m using OP’s phrase. "… open-source launchers that let you hide those apps for good. "

Hiding the apps does not turn them off. This will do nothing for privacy or security.

Freetube has an update today (at least for Linux). Seems to be working much better now.

Zero disadvantages? You mean like having to give up your identity to Google? Having to follow an ever increasing number of rules? Having videos demonetized for weeks until the appeal process runs it’s course. Yeah, no disadvantages posting on Youtube.

" … why would you facilitate her laziness … " Because I’m lazy and can’t be bothered to check 10 to 20 video sites per day to see if she posted a new video. The people I follow have an average subs of 5.7 million. What incentive do they have to move to another platform? The small number of people using a frontend isn’t going to make a difference.

How is making a number of accounts on different platforms going to encourage a Youtuber to move?

Well it’s not like we can follow a youtuber on peertube, odysee or bitchute if they don’t post on those platforms.

I very much appreciate you checking for me.

Is grayjay still dark theme only?

Nearly all channels I follow are on YouTube and no where else. To make YT less of a privacy issue, I use frontends. PipePipe on Android and Freetube on Linux.

I prefer not use use a sync “solution” that has been in beta for 3 years.

When I was using Android tablet and phone, Quillpad is what I used. Very similar layout to Keep. It doesn’t have sync built-in but does have markdown. I used to export a note and sync with Syncthing.

When I switch my tablet for a Linux laptop I had to find something else. Notesnook is what I went with. The layout is more of a list of notes v Keep’s twin columns, has sync in the free version (works great) and markdown.

Markdown is optional with both apps.

It’s possible to watch Youtube if you don’t care about commenting, adult, or members only videos.

On Linux, I use Freetube. On Android, PipePipe.

Noice!

This is the first thing I see when logging into Lemmy, made me pause for a second or two.

As I understand it “automatic” will use the DNS of the VPN provider. I always leave it on automatic.

Sure, disable airplane mode whenever you need to. I just find a public wifi network but my phone usage is very minimal.

That how I mostly make and receive phone calls, over wifi at home.

I’ve used Mullvad and Proton. There are others but those are the only two I’ve used with a good rep.
