YSK : Dark patterns among large companies are becoming more mainstream in c/youshouldknow@lemmy.world

Don't worry, it's not complicated at all. A little inconvenient maybe, but that's always the trade-off when it comes to privacy and security.

Here are the two most convenient ways that I can think of on each OS.

iOS: Bookmark the frontend URL. When you get sent a link, pop open the page and paste the TikTok URL.

Android: Get Firefox and set it as your default browser. Install the LibRedirect add-on (browser extension). Whenever you get sent a URL, just tap it and it'll automatically get redirected to the privacy-friendly frontend.

Only time will tell.

I know this one also went down recently for Instagram: proxigram.privacyfrontends.repl.co

But I'm not sure if it was an Instagram change that did it, or Replit took it down or what.

Most of my friends know better than to send me TikTok links. But for the few who still do, I use this open source frontend called ProxiTok.

To get TikTok links to redirect automatically on click, use the LibRedirect extension.

Canva.

Their feature set and functionality is great, but their vendor lock-in is really off-putting. Even just within their platform, it's really difficult to move assets around within workspaces.

Let alone edit graphics that you made on Canva and edit them elsewhere, say Penpot, for example.

While it is my joy to study the regions the only reason I would know more is that I ask questions to eliminate my assumptions.

Always a good approach. Commend you for that.

It is a pleasure to meet a Rarámuri though! From my books I’ve been told that your ancestral lands were part of a vast trade network. This is best evidenced in macaw burials and feather art found in Arizona of all places.

Is that so? It would make sense, given its geography.

As far as my bloodline, if you have seen one fat celt you’ve seen them all.

You funny for that 🤣🤣
