Sadly the right is on the rise everywhere and not solely due to twitter, they just give it a more visible voice

expect a return on their investment and they have the right to pressure spez to seek aggressive monetization of the platform.

Whilst I agree that investors have everybright to expect a return on investment I think this could have been resolved and a number of ways which didn't include alienating a large proportion of the user base.

Private healthcare has got this covered

Not having a quick step to go to your subscribed magazines.

I know you can via settings but honestly on a mobile it's a mission.

No apps yet support kbin, no way to change post layouts.

All of that said, what works for you works and the beauty of the fediverse is the choice to be able to choose the source and still see everything.

Pixel 7

Great value for money, excellent camera, no bloatware and great battery life for my use case.

Best Android phone I've owned to date.

Agreed, I've been using it for about 6 years after moving from iOS to Android and its great, fits all the points required by OP.

I have no problem paying an app developer to remove ads.

But I'm not going to pay an organisation that has just hiked it's API prices which means it's now going to be earning a fortune from the likes of Google/Microsoft.

Fuck u/spez

If you think meta has any good intentions I would suggest reading this article about how they killed xmpp open protocol.

There objective will be simple, monetize and if they can't, kill off the competition.

Edit: grammar and spelling

If it helps I woke to water dripping on my head from the apartment upstairs.

Awesome start to the day, organising repairs and now have to wait for internal water to dry and them repair the problems.

Ah, great start to the week

Whilst enlightening, it's kinda also useless. Let's be honest the majority of endusers use a particular app, in the main, because its most likely what everyone else in their friend group uses.

In my case WhatsApp, I'd struggle to get all my friends and family to change at this point.

Apparently they migrating to a new data centre

Bearing in mind the community you're posting in I wouldn't think they were suggesting the big streaming companies.

Kodi + (insertname)debrid or stremio+ (insertname)debrid .... either will let you stream torrents in much better quality than the streaming sites and no need to horde.

Also, i'm fairly sure there's some torrent clients that allow streaming of the torrent file, I'm not sure if they're still around but I think Vuze was one, I don't used desktops any more just mobile/tablet so my knowledge might now be out of date.

If they wanted an echo chamber they would have defederated from all other instances.

I'm sure they have a reason,whether it's the correct decision is another matter.

You can try this one jlai.lu

https://join-lemmy.org/instances also a great resource to find suitable instances

Would be nice if there was a way block a whole instance.

I know it's restriction on the platform side but maybe some instance filtering could be built into the app which could work then same way effectivley blocking visibility of a whole instance.

Just a thought and I don't know how many users would want/use it.

YouTube has been shown recently to be sliding ads into premium user feeds so I can only expect the same, if not worse, especially from a company so blatantly caught lying.

I'm 56 and play Minecraft and PUBG mobile.

As long as you're having fun I don't see why it should have an age limit.

Unless you're playing specifically children's games.

I posted this on a different thread to downgrade your version.

May be helpful if your instance doesn't update in a timely manner.

I sincerely hope that as many admins as possible instantly defederate from metas instance if they ever launch one.

I've been using a variety of LibreTube and revanced on my phone and tablet as I only have mobile devices.

For the first time I opened a link which went to the native app, OMG it is unusable with ads.

If that's the expected way of using YouTube then I'm out, especially as I live in a location where I can't pay for Premium even if I wanted to

We are in the process of moving website servers from a datacenter to another to have better redundancy in the future, service will be partially available for one or two hours, sorry for the inconvenience

I know how to do it on mobile ,not sure if it's the same on desktop.

Long press on the image and choose "Open in new tab"

One done copy the new tabs URL, it should end in .jpg and copy to the post URL in Lemmy.

For what it's worth, I posted once on Reddit in the last year (and that was related to Sync shutting down) where as I've posted 4 times so far here.

I'm generally a lurker but perhaps the newness of it makes me feel that my posts won't be drowned out so it makes it more worthwhile taking the effort.

Because one use may object to the content or doesn't want to exposed to a certain instance but that doesn't mean the instance should defederate, that's an instance nuclear option.

Choice should be with the user not forced upon him.

To be honest I also think the same question in regards for GDPR and UK inbound legislation regarding porn and how those might affect the fediverse in general.

I usually upload they to then share on Lemmy.

WhatsApp

I'm having the same issue since the latest Jerboa update 0.0.35 Looks like i'll have to install a previous version from fDroid.

Of course he does, because they can't advertise/monetize NSFW subs.

Which is why when they were forced to come back some subs flagged themselves as NSFW.

There's also newpipe and libretube for android but neither play well on tablets. Good for the phone though.

But revance extended works great on both :-)

Also I forgot, if you want to embed an images into a comment it's ,

![ Text ](jpg URL)

This is why I also have AllDebrid as backup

This was one of my prime motivators for leaving iOS.

Also choice of device to meet my needs regardless of manufacturer, I'm still getting the experience , in the main.

The latest version on the playstore is 0.0.35.
I was able to download the previous version 0.0.34 from github which doesn't have the v 0.18 issue.
As soon as your lemmy instance updates to 0.18 you should be able to update the jerboa app without any issue.

I think Reddit is going to end up killing itself I don't think it needs help.

I was loving liftoff until the last update, something about the UI is just off for me since the update, I can't fully out my finger on it. Clearly a personal issue and not an app issue.

But In answer to the question I'm back using Jerboa

I was just relying on keychain whilst on iOS and made me realise after migration I needed something that was platform agnostic.

And imagining its size and depth will be both hard to find and resurface.

Now I don't need to worry about forgetting passwords anymore

Only problem is now I don't know any of my passwords, apart from master password for BW. 🤣

I mean, it belongs to Meta where you expecting anything else really?
