we’re talking about encryption here, not…that. please get your mind out of the gutter
i would try them if i cared. i don’t
it’s a very good tipping point dude. settings is so complicated to navigate and is very slow. not to mention control panel still has more features than settings
of course! i recommend downloading an older version of youtube by at least 2 builds (if the newest is 19.30, go for 19.28). i also recommend taking a while to go through all the settings. there are a ton of things you can tinker with to make youtube better
forgot to mention but because of apple’s stupid side loading policies, you gotta sideload this through a service like AltStore or Sideloadly so you can actually launch the app
use uYouEnhanced (it’s iOS only and on github). gotta build it yourself with your own decrypted youtube IPA. haven’t seen an ad in years because of it. it also includes sponsorblock and free downloads
due to apple’s stupid side loading policies, you gotta sideload this through a service like AltStore or Sideloadly so you can actually launch the app. i personally recommend sideloadly because they allow 1 more app to be signed than altstore, and they let you enable file permissions for apps you download
definitely. i know so many people from my school who’s iphone home screen is just… pages full of apps. we’re talking 40+ apps on average. they always say it’s weird how i use a website for almost everything, and then they complain about their storage space :/
i’m out of the loop. why does it say “retruth”? is there a new social media that i don’t know about?
you’d be surprised how many people i know think that all gay people are femboys. when i came out to a friend of mine, he said i never acted gay. i asked him what he meant and he said that he thought all gay people wore makeup. seems to be what they think of as representing “gay”
i haven’t actually asked him yet, but one of his friends said he was. i also don’t wanna make things awkward between us. at the same time though… i’m also curious what would happen if i did ask him. i’m not 100% sure he’s actually straight
i’d certainly like to go to a college where gays can be gay, but i live in oklahoma… i doubt there’s anything like that here. i also live in the country so online dating wouldn’t work
followup to an old post of mine: https://lemm.ee/post/26206497
even though we both graduated, turns out i will be seeing him pretty often again. he’s going to the same church as i do (if i could, i wouldn’t go to church but idk how my parents would react to me telling them im not christian anymore, so i’ll just wait till i move out). so i’ll be seeing him every sunday and wednesday. he’s homophobic so i know i have no chance with him. i want to get over him but this will make it much harder. not to mention that i can definitely tell he’s been working out more and he’s got a really nice tan now… what can i do?
that’d be great but i’m pretty sure like 90% of chrome users don’t even know what an extension or even an adblocker is. they’ll just keep using chrome because that’s the browser everyone else uses unfortunately
…i know that all too well. my family is unfortunately religious and a few years ago they found out that i had a crush on my best friend. so i had to do this straight conversion therapy shit. i only made it last a day though by telling my mom that i had a crush on a girl in my class (i lied).
probably not. i might just not plug it in and see how it goes. if it doesn’t work out, i guess i’ll have to DNS block its tracking from a openwrt pi
my parents and siblings enjoy the convenience of alexas and the fact that they can play music. i’ve tried suggesting an actual intercom system and they’re against it
that’s sounds great! thanks for telling me
thanks for the suggestion! as for nextDNS, i was already thinking of using this however you cannot change the DNS servers used on alexa devices. i was thinking of setting up openWRT on a pi and using that as a router specifically for our alexa devices with a nextDNS profile installed, but im not sure if alexa’s default to the router’s DNS or amazon’s. even if it does use the router’s DNS, does it backup to Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8) like Roku does?
buddy i would if i could. unfortunately they are forcing me to have it on at all times. which is why im asking for suggestions
my family is moving into a much bigger house than we used to have. we use amazon echos as an intercom system through the announcement feature. because our house is bigger, i’m being forced to get one myself for my room. i haven’t needed one for years because i use their app on my phone and i can see their announcements as a notification and i can also kill off most of its tracking by DNS. unfortunately my parents don’t understand this and are forcing me to get one. what can i do to limit its tracking?
hey bros, i’ve been a lurker on lemmy ever since the silly reddit API thing happened, and i think this is my first post?? anyway, there’s this guy on my high school’s robotics team that i really like. i should mention that this is a private christian school in oklahoma which is why i’m making this post in the first place. im unsure if this guy is really straight though. you see, he goes out of his way to see only me. maybe he’s just a really great friend who wants to see me, maybe not. but also the night before our state competition, he uh, let me sit on his lap and later on he uh…spooned me for a solid 2 minutes after the other guy in our airbnb we were staying at for the night fell asleep. he kinda played it off at the end like he was messing with me and maybe he was but i’m not sure. there’s some other stuff too like the way he talks to me. he doesn’t talk the same way to anyone else. i really want to ask him out but im just really worried how he’ll take it. pretty much all the guys at my school except a handful of them are homophobic…
oh yeah in case any of you are curious, im the programmer for the team and he’s one of the builders
