I recommend Okular for PDF reading. No ads, no upsells, no BS. It also has native dark mode

You can just use crypto for its intended purpose and not give a shit about the whole culture around it. I frequently use it to buy gift cards not available in my country, a VPN, and pay securely without giving away all my data.
The real issue is people coming and bastardizing the concept by trying to get rich, and treating it as some kind of gambling machine.
He didn’t say “i don’t believe in crypto because it’s a scam” he said “I don’t believe in crypto, except on its use as a scam” so it’d be great to hear why.
Strange, for me Tineye has not a single time been able to identify ANY of the images I ever tried. Yandex has worked best for me
Youtube is one of those things you can’t avoid in practice. So if you don’t like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?
Same, I’d take it any day over VLC because of native dark mode. VLC’s themes are janky and weird-looking.
Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.
This is a common pattern in content creators. As they grow their goals shift into running a production machine that maximizes earnings, throwing away any values or standards they started with.
Just look at LTT/LMG. It’s not gonna get better, so you could watch someone else who still values things other than money.
The same Linus who can’t be arsed to spend $500 of various people’s time to properly test a product is now telling us what to do?
I’ve never given money to roku, and now I’ll never will
Today most Invidious instances are experiencing very harsh ip address rate limiting, it is becoming very very hard to watch yt videos through
AFAIK this is not what’s happening this time. YouTube slowly rolled out a change over the past 3 days that requires some sort of app verification for the android yt app. This is affecting Invidious since it emulates the yt android client to fetch video streams. This affects invidious instances hosted privately as well.
The maintainers are aware of this, and are working on ways to solve it. Tools like yt-dlp/newpipe still work because they have working implementations to fetch data by emulating web/iOS/etc clients.
If the team is finding out that their job ends on the same day, it’s totally Google’s doing, and not the vendor company.
Google loves cheap, disposable workers, that why half of their workers are contractors.
Not really, they have a docker compose file ready to go, and it works without issue.
The more stuff they do to shoot themselves in the foot, the sooner something else comes in to replace youtube
I dusted off an old laptop, put debian on it, put an SSD and now I have my own invidious instance, among other services…
No ads, no throttling, no bullshit. Google is very welcome to suck it. I’d gladly stop using youtube, but there’s no competition.
The fuck is the point then? you get to pay to have the privilege of paying more for a mobile game?
All the netflix games I see are just shitty mobile games, nothing of value will be lost.
I’ll never understand how Twitch became as big as a thing as it is.
You already answered that in your comment.
You want to watch videos, not livestreams. Of course a video will be better at being, you know, a video (nicely edited, in short format, etc). A livestream is different for many reasons, none of which interests you apparently.
Nothing wrong with that tbh. It’s just not for you.
This is a bigger issue to leave it to users imo. Like lemm.ee admin said a few months ago, threads is too fucking big.
Anything they push on the fediverse will be what users see in All. Plus, popular stuff on threads is determined through Facebook’s algorithm, and it will also determine the fediverse recommendations by consequence.
The above is solvable if you block them I guess, but by default it will completely ruin everything.
However, lemmy 0.19 block feature doesn’t work on users of an instance, only posts hosted in an instance. Add to this that Facebook is a cancerous company making all its money from ads. Expect their bots to comment and make posts pushing ads on all instances.
All of this will also mean high workload on mods to regulate the content. Threads doesn’t bring anything good here, and defederation is probably the only way to protect us.
I’m using voyager on my iphone just fine. This is for my old ipad (ipad 4, iOS 10.3.4).
I have built some flutter apps with an older version of xcode & flutter and they work just fine. Guess it was worth a try asking here.
Wefwef doesnt work, as it needs a newer webkit version to run. Legacy devices are completely left out of lemmy except for mlmym web app (which mirrors old.reddit).
I usually find reasons to keep using microsoft products, but right now it’s the first time I’m seriously considering ditching all my microsoft services for FOSS and move to linux.
It’s gonna take a lot of effort and time migrating everything I use, but taking literal screenshots of your PC sounds fucking creepy, no matter how they sugar coat it. It’s like someone else literally watching all you do.
Usually you know they get your data, but now they want exactly what you are seeing and exactly what you are doing, taking it right out of your screen. It’s literal and plain spyware.
I have degoogled for a few years already, now I guess it’s microsoft’s turn.
