Look, I’m happy about the EU regulating these things and think it’s great for the overall ecosystem. But can we please stop with the “Apple users are braindead” circlejerk? It’s so fucking cringe, and it unironically reminds me of the unebearable zeal that Apple cultists used to (and probably still do but I see it less) impose on anyone who made the mistake of getting to close to them.
I’ve had many Android phones over the years, and one iPhone 8. While I am considering moving to a de-Googled Android for privacy reasons, I have to say, my iPhone has held up better than any of my Android phones (Galaxy S3, S4, LG G3) did, without needing to replace the battery. Just because you can’t understand why someone might want one doesn’t mean everyone who gets an iPhone is an idiot.
I would much rather have left this kind of tech chest-beating over at reddit.
Edit: This was directed more towards the community as a whole and to the commenters I’ve seen saying this kind of thing in this thread and most other threads like it in lemmy/reddit. The original post by OP isn’t really what I was responding to.
Excuse you, I use CalyxOS on my phone. I also use Linux on my PC. Am I allowed back on the “apple bad” train? Tbh, I don’t think Apple products are bad. I just hate the company, just like many MANY others.
I’ve been flashing custom firmware on my phone since before Android was a thing, I’ll have you know my OS is built by dodgy Russian hackers installed on a dodgy Chinese phone, thank you very much.
This beautiful little comic has never stopped being relevant since the very day it was made. Ever more destructive pushes for profit, all for that beautiful shareholder value.
I was so hoping the crappy “hey, a text thing I want to share, let me take a fucking attributionless accessibility-poisoning screenshot and upload it like a psychopath instead of just copy/pasting the link to the text or the text itself like a decent human being” routine would die with Reddit. We should be better than that here.
If you want some of these features on mobile Android TV, you’ve still got options!
For Android TV, there’s SmartTubeNext: smarttubenext.comIt includes ad blocking and SponsorBlock. I also think the UX is a bit better than the official YouTube app.
For Android, there’s obviously ReVanced: revanced.app
You can also use AdGuard on iOS though safari and the SponsorBlock extension in the App Store too, but video quality isn’t great.
If you want to avoid resigning with AltStore or using Google services, there’s also Yattee for iOS: apps.apple.com/app/id1595136629 and Invidious and Piped client!
I don’t have an android device so if any of my info is wrong let me know!
I am loving Darrow, and for some reason I just never bothered adding dislikes but it’s great to have them back.
Wondering if anyone knows of a script to get the likes and dislikes onto the video preview page instead of having to click on the video to see it. Would help me get a sense of the videos YouTube is recommending.
