People this doesn't affect are pirates. People who get to enjoy their media without worry are pirates. When pirates are getting the better experience and it's customers who are getting affected what incentive is there to not pirate other than personal morals. Because it sure isn't for a better product.

Would make it easier to keep track of what filters I have in place and delete duplicates

Since the ad push led to me fully adopting newpipe and freetube not anymore.

Having rich family versus none provides a safety net that lessens the consequences of risk taking, and sets a baseline of how bad your life can get.

It's like playing a game with check points versus one that has you start at the beginning if you die. You still have to do all the hard work to reach your goal yourself, but those retro style non check point games are incredibly hard compared to games with check points, saves, or cheating with save states.

It pushed me more towards degoogling. Was already using newpipe on Android and ignoring the YouTube app, and now I'm on freetube on desktop. No need for Google account anymore to look at the feed I want.

I was using newpipe x Sponsorblock on Android exclusively, and now on desktop I've moved to freetube. Never did get the pop up telling me to remove Adblock but decided to make the jump early.

I've liked using the keyword filtering for communities, but sometimes some keywords are too broad so that's when I'd like to be able to filter out the specific community instance so an example being community@instance

It's something I came across on Boost which I liked. It's called mute there. Would help keep specific communities from popping up when I'm browsing as a guest on an instance where I'm unable to use the account based community filtering.

Waiting years has been my new normal for games because I'm cheap, and it helps save on hardware costs too due to pushing back the time frame for when I start needing a more powerful system to play them. It's a win win.

  • HDR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the external display.

  • VRR can now be enabled in Display Settings if supported by the USB-C adapter.

Excited for these two.

I would like to be able to export the settings I have for Connect so in case I ever have to reinstall this app I can restore all the settings I had for it instead of redoing everything manually.

Not something I've seen even in a reddit app before. So the first of its kind I've encountered.

Incredible and makes browsing /c/all so much better, and I don't have to individually block new versions of communities anymore.

And ability to change view between list and card without having to go into settings is also fantastic.

So it blocks communities with certain keywords in them like anything containing 'meme' as an example.

Would be an amazing feature, since blocking communities becomes wack a mole with the amount of duplicate community names that pop up from different instances.

I hate when these type of articles never directly list the apps that were removed.

Currently have to open them, but would be nice to able to skip a step.

You'll get stronger as you keep using it and then the weight will be fine.

Maybe view switch option could be in hamburger menu

Like an example would be this url. It would be nice to be able to check where a link goes to before committing to clicking it and being sent to the url provided.

My instance lemmy.one was down with no status updates for several days. And made realize that I'll probably need multiple accounts should an instance I use disappear. Or a more feature rich accountless experience if I decide to just wait for my instance to come back online as I lurk on another instance.

So seems useful to be able to have a subscription feed and filter list that can function without an account, which would make swapping accounts be a more consistent experience in the event there is a need for account migration due to instance being down or completely disappearing as some people have already experienced and lost their sub list in the process.

Like example of an app with a good accountless experience is Stealth for Reddit. It has no account sign in, but lets users have a personal subscription feed and save function which can be exported to a json file.

They are still better than meta and Twitter too.

Just in case people aren't aware Nova was acquired by Branch. Putting it out there so people can decide whether that matters or not.

Is it still safe to use as long as apps continue to be updated and is supported by the play store?

How long would you say someone could safely use an Android phone that no longer gets security updates for?

[-] NightOwl@lemmy.one 57 points 2 years ago

Did anyone use reddit thinking it was private? With stuff like push shift and way back machine people shouldn't be posting stuff they aren't comfortable sharing anyways on a wide open message board.

Always weirded me out the people who'd treat their reddit accounts like Facebook.
