People used to think it was our ability to love that made us human. But it turns out it's our ability to select each image containing a crosswalk.

Jerboa v0.0.70-alpha Release
  • Not going back to Jerboa unless the basic feature of searching contents other than just communities is implemented. I find this fundamental feature sorely lacking in Jerboa while every other app around there have this.

    Kind of surprising, because this is pretty basic feature, and has been open for over two years.

    "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • Understood. Thanks !

    I know that Mullvad has a browser, but since this thread specifically talks about Android and to my knowledge Mullvad browser is not yet available for Android, I assumed that it was a typo and Mull was meant.

  • "Privacy-Preserving" Attribution: Mozilla Disappoints Us Yet Again
  • I take it that you were referring to Mull (Browser) and not MullVad (VPN service).

  • About the ads thing in 128
  • This seems to assume that advertisers don't want our identifying information, and are clamoring for an alternative to tracking that lets them measure ad performance anonymously, which is just not true. Being able to uniquely identify users and target them is a feature, and getting more data points from the browser just helps add to their profiles.

  • Privacy-Preserving Attribution | Firefox Help
  • The good thing is that Firefox has got some decent forks like Librewolf, which are worth exploring if one is okay with slightly delayed updates.

  • Privacy-Preserving Attribution | Firefox Help
  • It was surprising to see this from Firefox, and even more unsettling was the fact that this was turned on by itself in my desktop firefox settings since the last update. So it was opt-out by default, while I expected this to be opt-in, just like their telemetry.

    Not good. Nope.

    Firefox 128 introduces privacy-preserving attribution, allowing advertisers to measure campaign performance while protecting user privacy.

    Not a single video wants to be played. · Issue #11255 · TeamNewPipe/NewPipe
  • Yep, someone thought of porting the awesome Freetube app to Android. It's not as polished as NewPipe, but gets the job done. Especially at this time, it's the only one that is working, having both a local API as well as option to use Invidious API.

    I pulled the apk straight from their github page via Obtainium. You may want to give it a try.

  • Not a single video wants to be played. · Issue #11255 · TeamNewPipe/NewPipe
  • Most Piped instances are also not working because they use NewPipe Extractor under the hood.

    I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

    The nice thing about the FOSS world is that it's pretty easy to import subscriptions and other stuff from NewPipe to FreeTube.

    I hope this YouTube fuckery is handled soon. I love NewPipe way more every time it successfully deals with the YT weirdos.

  • NewPipe v0.27.0 No longer Working? [Update]

    As someone else said in this thread, I have also temporarily switched to FreeTube for Android, because a few of the Invidious instances are still working fine.

  • What are these "bass" and "treble" that I see in an equalizer ?

    I am not an audio person, so do not have much idea about technical terms - but I hear the words "bass" and "treble" almost everywhere now, especially in the equalizer app that came with  a new bluetooth earbuds that I bought (yes, I am still very much a wired-earbud guy, just dipping my toes in the wireless earbud ocean).

    So what do these "bass" and "treble" mean? I guess I hear the sounds to be different when I monkey around with the equalizer. The sound is slightly deep/full for "bass" and less so for "treble".

    Is that all?

  • I hate you. How do I unsee that now?

  • YouTube: Google has found a way to break Invidious
  • It says that Piped is affected as well. This is probably a dumb question from me, but I use NewPipe in my phone to access YT - and it did not cause any trouble yet. I heard that the Piped project also uses NewPipe Extractor under the hood (which basically scrapes YT website). So why would Piped break but not NewPipe ?

  • Goodbye [old].[reddit].[com]
  • I'm using Mullvad.

  • Goodbye ..

    For a while Reddit dot com has been blocking my browser since I use a VPN, but old reddit was still functional for me. Although I closed my reddit account just after the API-exodus, I still frequent the niche communities which has hyper-specific topics discussed.

    Found to my surprise today that they are now blocking old reddit as well if I use a VPN.

    Never thought that \[old].\[reddit].\[com] would one day show that f'kin "Whoa there Pardner" page.

    Fuck you spez. Really, fuck you.
