I wouldn’t call it a “scam” just manipulative marketing
the difference?
yes, they do (redmi the same as other xiaomi phones) and that’s an important thing I left out.
I did create an account long ago with an alias email that i’ve used for the unlocking of several phones’ bootloader. it also requires a phone number for “verification” when you start the unlocking process, so for anonimity you’d need an unregistered burner phone number
so it does leave a trace in their books
in case you go for a cheap new phone, around here the best option are some Redmi ones. recently got a Redmi Note 9 and slapped LOS on it for a friend, for about 170€. since none are very recent models, sometimes I had to spend a good time searching for them in shop stocks
there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it
thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting “Proxy videos through Invidious”. it’s turned off now and working fine
how can i find such “obscure” instances, tho? i’ve always picked one from the Invidious’ website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now
also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine
on a side note, I’d never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know
damn, even with seeing the bot around here i forgot to try Piped these days
anyway, i’ve found a solution - i had “proxy videos through Invidious” turned on on Freetube (which was redundant since i’m behind a VPN). i’ve unchecked it and things seem fime now
still, thank you
yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that’s why
that guy Schneegans makes the most beautiful useless rice! i’m tempted to switch to gnome now…
they do. i was not clear, sorry
thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D
funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube’s view
EDIT: re-phrasing
i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i’ve seen mastodon users’ comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube
yes i’ve interacted with mastodon users here through lemmy, but am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here
thanks for the clarification!
now i’ll get a mastoson client to follow communities on lemmy, hop on peertube comments from here and hopefully lurk on mastodon from newpipe muAHAHaHahHahah
is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue…?
i’m really exited about this, now i’ll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can’t do on youtube videos!!
yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks
or Mulch (instead of Cromite) for a Chromium-based choice. by the same group (or person) that’s responsible for Mull
thanks a lot for the reference! i don’t know how i’ve missed Mulch, i’ve been following SkewedZeppelin’s work with Divested in general and am so glad for his contributions
i’m still gonna stick with Mull for dailyridin’ (avoiding Chromium dominance, and all) but will investigate using it as webview
i managed to place the image in OP
thanks for suggestion of UntrackMe! i’ve just started messing with LibRedirect on Librewolf so that’s an opportune mention
