Use Linux & the Android app Rethink while it’s still being funded by Mozilla (you never know). Easily configure your devices to split apps among different VPNs. If you know how to look around you can find public proxies. 😉 I would really not recommend trusting Proton, but I know Mullvad (also untrustworthy & visibly confined to west-friendly datacenters) makes it super easy by snagging all the files from the website, Proton might have something similar

FYI the last easy setup way to fix Youtube is Invidious or Pipepipe (Android app) with one of the main VPNs providing service through Thailand, there may be other regions. I won’t explain the cooler options because only I deserve them. I mostly use the fire and forget method of sending it to Seal (YTDL app). Anyways when they finally seal it off they will be doing us a favor

I’d pester them to add the OpenStreetMaps fork as well. Go ahead and write them, I will forget. I just use a weird app to redirect links because I only use maps on my phone anyways

Lol, it wasn’t hard to find twitter addicted programmers to maintain it. Now that Anubis is being used to block crawling, the instances are far healthier

Added an RSS feed for modlogs.

You’re so thoughtful omg

The future is now

Libredirect is generally more useful than sponsorblock since it is built into Invidious now

Floccus Android app + desktop Firefox Addon

Interesting. I figured there was just a backdoor in Knox or iOS it was using.

*we all have our cross to bear

you mean

It’s on Jerboa. It’s on Thunder. It’s on Interstellar, You can get it on Eternity. It’s on Voyager. It’s on Raccoon. It’s on Blorp. Download Blorp it’s on there. Download Blorp.

Interesting, I haven’t seen the “pure AP” thing, will check it out. Yeah I’m not attached to any particular model of it, since there are pros and cons of each, and they have the same basic structure (communities on lemmy appear as users reposting whatever mentions them, you could represent imageboard communities the same way, etc etc). Hopefully people evolve beyond just imitating popular social media products.

90% of piracy is technically savvy workers taking back something they produced for a tiny fraction of what it was worth, often something which was abandoned, or people stealing movies. Yes, there are teenagers who will pirate indie games. Most of them didn’t have the money for them anyways.

If piracy wasn’t possible I would probably be against computers entirely

Well, Mastodon seems designed to have people give up on it. Austere interface, short charlimit, no federation of reactions, no search bar. I hate it so much. I recommend one of the Misskey forks. It’s more “modern” than any mainstream social media website now.

Kablooey.

Use one of the crazier ActivityPub platforms if you want funny reacts. A lot of them are like an unholy mix of Twitter and Discord

Movim if they’re private, or interested in computers, otherwise I have had success with Pixelfed and Funkwhale. I don’t bother explaining any of the weirder forks or what Mastodon or Pleroma is. People want somewhere to post photos and videos on, and I just want to be able to see ActivityPub posts

Oh hey it’s one of Signal’s main vulnerabilities again @rysiek@szmer.info

What would me exploding first contribute to the UI? Please don’t treat this as a joke suggestion. It would be good.
