"There are no plans to get rid of Old Reddit." - reddit
Completely expected this, technically they are not removing it, just making it so shit no one would use it. Same move done by twitter when muskrat took over
The redesign doesn't really work, it just tells you to use their horrendous app or login to see any "unverified" content. What that is only they seem to know...
Anyone still relying on reddit's user generated data should use something like a redlib instance
I did that when they leaked my phone number to hackers, as happened to other millions of users. Using authy is a security threat
I think a few more details are needed to get you a clear alternative:
In my case after degoogling, I use mainly apple devices besides my windows pc. 2 of my TVs have AirPlay built in, so there's no issue casting anything. If your TV is rather recent it's likely to have it too.
The third TV is tricky, it's an older 4k LG. I have a linux box connected to it and installed UxPlay in it. It only works with AirPlay "mirroring" so you kinda need an app that can treat the TV as a second monitor. Otherwise the mirroring won't cover the entire TV screen. I'm still assuming apple devices here, but there's OutPlayer and nPlayer in the appstore that can do this. It does support sound-only casting, so if it's music you want it should be able to direct cast from your apps.
The second caveat for UxPlay is that it only works with DRM-free content (youtube, self hosted media). For DRM content I haven't found a nice alternative for the old TV , so I use its built in apps (netflix, amazon prime). Kodi exists, but the plug-ins support for streaming sites isn't good, often getting stuck to low-res content.
I'm guessing buying an apple tv/fire stick/roku is the only alternative for DRM content casting. I also explored the idea of "degoogling" my unused chromecast 3rd gen, but absolutely nothing exists for this and it just collects dust in a drawer.
Now that authy has fucked us over with this, what should I move my 2fa codes into, any recommendations?
Unfortunately I can't use aegis on iOS/windows, does keepass have this functionality?
I usually find reasons to keep using microsoft products, but right now it's the first time I'm seriously considering ditching all my microsoft services for FOSS and move to linux.
It's gonna take a lot of effort and time migrating everything I use, but taking literal screenshots of your PC sounds fucking creepy, no matter how they sugar coat it. It's like someone else literally watching all you do.
Usually you know they get your data, but now they want exactly what you are seeing and exactly what you are doing, taking it right out of your screen. It's literal and plain spyware.
I have degoogled for a few years already, now I guess it's microsoft's turn.
I recommend Okular for PDF reading. No ads, no upsells, no BS. It also has native dark mode
You can just use crypto for its intended purpose and not give a shit about the whole culture around it. I frequently use it to buy gift cards not available in my country, a VPN, and pay securely without giving away all my data.
The real issue is people coming and bastardizing the concept by trying to get rich, and treating it as some kind of gambling machine.
He didn't say "i don't believe in crypto because it's a scam" he said "I don't believe in crypto, except on its use as a scam" so it'd be great to hear why.
Youtube is one of those things you can't avoid in practice. So if you don't like it what do you do? do you just miss out on most existing video content?
Reminds me when foldable smartphones first came out. If you touched them wrong the screen got fucked.
This is a common pattern in content creators. As they grow their goals shift into running a production machine that maximizes earnings, throwing away any values or standards they started with.
Just look at LTT/LMG. It's not gonna get better, so you could watch someone else who still values things other than money.
The same Linus who can't be arsed to spend $500 of various people's time to properly test a product is now telling us what to do?
google has been blocking any IP that uses lots of youtube bandwidth, and that means any public instance needs to do IP rotation.
I also heard they began blocking all IPs belonging to some cloud providers.
I run my own invidious instance from my home servr. Only I use it, so it'll never be blocked, but I don't have the same anonymity as if using a public instance...
It's mostly for the benefits of using youtube ad-free without a google account, while having local bookmarks, watch-later, and subscription feed. If that's your main goal Invidious is really easy to set-up.
