Check out Termuxâs GitHub. I would link the issue but not sure if linking is allowed. Youâll find that the Play Store build is currently broken, but the F-Droid (alternative FOSS software store) build works fine.
F-Droid is great. My understanding is that apps on F-Droid have to be free (as in freedom), and they build most apps from source so the builds are verifiable - theyâll exactly match the source code in the repo. Itâs not just a developer uploading a random APK that might be completely different from the code in the repo.
I had no backup, as I always considered my MicroSD as an external storage medium for such data.
I know youâre not looking for advice that would have been great before things went wrong, but⊠When they say to have a backup up on external storage, they donât mean make the backup and then delete the original. Then the âbackupâ is just the original.
Also, I donât think that microSD life expectancy is that great. I wouldnât it trust it as a sole keeper of backups.
This. The way I think of it, if data isn't backed up, that data doesn't really exist. At a bare minimum, keep important data backed up in two separate locations. Ideally you should follow the 3-2-1 backup rule (a main drive, backup drive, and cloud backup fulfill the requirements).
Ah probably. The auto mode is pretty good, the photos look more natural than my pixel or the wifeâs galaxy, but itâs also harder to just point and click to get a good photo every time.
Might also want to make an image of the device with dd if=/dev/DEVICE-NAME conv=sync,noerror bs=128K > sd_card.img first. Itâs often a good practice to make a raw backup before doing anything that changes the device.
Haha, yeah⊠I ended up finding a cheap used OnePlus 5T in good shape and swapped the screens. There is Android 14 with LineageOS and other custom roms available, so I can keep the phone âup-to-dateâ and running for a while.
I still keep an eye on the phone market and more or less following the Asus drama with GamersNexus and the threads on XDA.
I havenât upgraded to Android 14 yet. Itâs painful to do backups and restores with 128GB storage and USB 2.0 but I will get there soon.
Man this looks so good, but Iâm not sure if Iâm shooting myself in the foot with the camera and the 60Hz display. Iâm just looking for a reasonable midrange phone that still has a headphone jack thatâs not whack in any sense.
Pixel 7a, A55, Nothing 2a and Moto Edge 50 Fusion all look nice and probably better, if it wasnât for the headphone jack that I want to keep to connect to various audio periphery as a musician.
Then you have the Oneplus Nord CE 2 5G which is already two years old.
Or the Xiaomi Redmi Not 12 S, which looks amazing for the price, but Iâve read that their UI pushes you ad. Wtf could you fucking not.
Addendum: Shopping for a decent midrange phone has never been so frustrating like these days. Everything gets more expensive while the phones loose features (just look at the telecam on the xperia 10 VI compared to the V)
If you use the default piped instance then itâs usually overloaded. You can either try finding an alternative or just host your own, personally I do the ladder I rented a VPS for 20 bucks a month and I host my own pipe there
To add on to this for iOS/macOS/iPadOS if you use safari you can send YouTube to your TV through airplay. Skips all the ads and if you use sponsorblock skips that too, so if you are too lazy to install smart tube this is a setup that works nicely.
What do you mean by âjust a webviewâ? As far as I know, FreeTube does not exist as a web client that can then just be displayed in an in-app browser.
as far as I see freetube is just written in html, css and Javascript, then all of that thrown into an Electron app. you can run these elements without Electron in any browser, it just wonât have access to as many device features as the app does.
Iâve built a web version here from the source just to try it out. itâs somewhat buggy but it does work
I pay for YouTube because it does give more revenue than watching an ad to the creators. I pay 6$ and watch hundreds of hours monthly. If it was more than that I will consider alternatives and AdBlock (what I was doing before started my sub). To each their own :)
Some do, others donât and as someone else said i am not going to make Patreon and do monthly sub to each of them. As I said I watch hundreds of hours per month and itâs not from 4-5 creators. For me itâs worth - I pay for the infrastructure and some support for the people I watch. If itâs free for you it means someone else is paying.
Itâs still Google, which is basically just another EvilCorp Inc. Probably donating more directly to the creator would give them more money than going through Google.
Itâs the equivalent of $16.50 a month where I live and that is not an insignificant proportion of my monthly income. The adverts are constantly repeating and often for products and services that are actual scams. I firmly believe as soon as enough people pay⊠weâll have to pay more or they will show us a smaller number of âspecially selectedâ ads.
$20 month for family music streaming plus the insane amount of good content is a bargain. Yâall just want to be salty they are forcing you to stop freeloading đ€Ł.
YouTube was built on illegal content and still has a buttload of illegal content and Google knows it but wonât do anything about it. Letâs not call the kettle black.
If they really want to be serious about it fine, turn it into paid-only access. It will neatly solve the whole ad debacle and they wonât have to play cat and mouse with VPNs and blocking and all these shenanigans.
Ask yourself why they donât do that. Itâs because 90% of the content on there is illegal and when they host it for free they have an excuse. But if they turn the whole thing private and ask for money to access it they become liable for all of it.
Lol. Yeah itâs all fresh or properly sourced material.
Go search for any music video. You should be finding exactly one (1) official entry. In some cases there are legit live recordings + montage that should also be only one of.
Instead there are dozens or hundreds, and most of them are not transformative enough to qualify for fair use. Google knows which ones are there illegaly because they are clearly able to identify and demonetize them.
But why not straight out delete them, or tell the uploader to delete them or else? Because they want to have lots of content regardless if itâs legit, and they want to show ads, just as long as it goes to the right people.
They can put ads on questionable content thatâs free to watch as long as theyâre ready to remove it if and when asked, but they canât sell a product based on questionable content. It comes too close to what piracy websites are doing.
Iâm just explaining why Google canât put YouTube behind a paywall. Itâs fine as long as itâs an open platform. If it becomes a paid product it raises the bar.
Iâm not affected since I use freetube and newpipe. This affects people who were actually paying and watching YouTube logged in but not people like me.
When Google stops deciding which content creators matter and which donât, Iâll pay. When I can have my subscriptions feed un-fucked with by their political agenda, Iâll pay. When my home feed doesnât send me the same goddamn rich kids videos as suggestions for months on end like thereâs some chance I just overlooked them and theyâre slightly related to my interests, Iâll pay. YouTube is complete garbage. Some of those content creators can have my money. YouTube cannot.
If the France sports dns blocking has proved anything itâs that most people just donât bother. And if it doesnât work just accept it instead of just changing a DNS setting in a computer.
It was enough to convince a few others to do the same, however pointless it is. Theyâve been told before, but donât care either way and will keep doing it.
Of course I agree with the comment. I take all my copyright advice from random comments on the internet. Especially the ones that use expletives. Those are the best comments to take advice from.
Apply the steps on dontkillmyapp.com to Google Play Services and Google Play Messaging, that may help. Also check if you have an app running in the background that eats all of your RAM and forces the OS to clear up scheduleable tasks.
Thirty minutes is way longer of a delay than Iâve ever seen. You may want to try a factory reset in case itâs a ROM issue.
