we should have collectively realized way earlier

some people have, but whenever you'd mention it, you'd be met with "lol take the tinfoil hat off", "but we're already using [for-profit platform] why would we move when everyone's here" and "but it's haaaaaaard".

ProtonMail exposing Threads user data harvesting posting the same screenshot from Apple's App Store that multiple other accounts on Fedi have posted, often in comparison with several Mastodon clients' app listings.

because it gained popularity back when mobile plans didn't include free SMS, back in the feature phone era.

I'm still using the mobile website until the apps mature a little bit. it's surprisingly functional.

yeah, I try to avoid giving Google more data whenever I can

...bookmark it in your browser?

I've never played multiplayer games in my childhood (long story), and the first multiplayer I've really tried was PUBG Mobile. I've been hooked on it for about three years and made some online friends over it. when EA made Apex Legends available on Linux last year I've switched to it and clocked about 600 hours since then. I really enjoy the BR format, and even though I've never tried a competitive shooter like Counter Strike or Valorant (fuck their intrusive anticheat by the way), running exactly the same lines on the same map and constantly holding the same angles and hoping to just outreact the opponent by a milisecond doesn't appeal to me.

oh no

no, just pretty yucky, given how their CEO is a homophobe and how they're trying to push crypto and everything.

if you replace the "youtube.com" with "piped.video" in the URL, you get all the videos with no ads, no tracking, and no distractions.

Alternate Player for Twitch still doesn't let any ads through https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/twitch_5/

substantial price hike

it’s €50 more expensive than the FP4 with the same RAM/storage configuration on its release (€650 fot 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage).

the back button works fine when I use Firefox and install a PWA with it.

it's called Embrace-Extend-Extinguish and yes, that's what people are concerned about.

Spotify's Discover Weekly used to be great for me for a long time and I'd get lots of new music that I liked. it got pretty stale over the past year or so, with stuff that I don't enjoy at all, and it often recommends me the same songs that I tell it to not recommend. it feels like I've reached the end of the internet and there's no more music left to try.

"hey its me ur brother"

but then you have to use Brave.

Neither is Kbin, which doesn’t even have mobile apps

not everything needs a mobile app, sheesh. both kbin and Lemmy have great mobile websites.

I'm sure someone out there is going to take some

it's not a Pride parade or even a Pride march, actually. it's called The March of Equality, and I doubt there's going to be, to use the right-wingers' favourite phrase, "naked men running around with feathers in their arses".

I just wish they made less resource intensive snowstorms.

Murena comes with microG and its own Play Store front-end so you can still install Play Store apps if you really want to.

what a brave pro-lifer.

popcorn tastes good.

like I've said, it works fine for me: https://streamable.com/fb300o

I use gesture navigation and the back button works without reloading.

you gotta make do when you're in the least LGBTQ+ friendly country on the continent

phone and ROM twinsies!

I personally do.

man, I wish. my bank's app used to have its own built-in contactless payment option (and it would even appear in Android's "default apps" section as a payment handler!) but then they moved to Google Pay "due to a popular demand" :/

but no one uses Mastodon and also it's so haaaaaaaaaaaaaard

but... you're already in here.

Bitwarden is going to support storing passkeys soon™, so I guess they wouldn't.

add the IzzyOnDroid repo URL to your client: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/repo

it's not really open source - only the modifications are. the base is still the normal, closed source client.
