De-Google Your Life - Part 1 in c/technology@lemmy.world

I think it's not a good idea to leave links to Piped instead of YouTube (same for Nitter/Twitter, Libreddit/Reddit, etc.). If you want to avoid YouTube, then just install LibRedirect extension or similar. Piped links are temporary, they'll break sooner or later, making it difficult for people to get to the website.

Twitter is fully X.com now. in c/technology@lemmy.ml
[–] uuhhhhmmmm@sh.itjust.works 9 points 6 months ago

"All core systems are now at X.com", so why opening x.com links in private window redirects to https://twitter.com/x/migrate?tok=, then again to x.com? I just cannot describe how stupid this is.

As others have noticed, it drops an error: "Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com". The link has ?mx=2 parameter. I removed it and the page loaded correctly (but half of the viewport was clumped with banners). I tried again in a new private window, but never saw this error again, so this is a bug due to the aforementioned redirect.

YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps in c/degoogle@lemmy.ml

Sounds like trouble for Newpipe, Sponsorblock, etc...

SponsorBlock isn't affected at all, as I understood after reading an article. Why did you mention it?

And the CEO of that company wants us to "be comfortable" with not owning games.

YouTube is testing a new design that you'll probably hate instantly (www.androidauthority.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/14192146

A selection of YouTube viewers have recently noticed there's a little something different with the look of the website.

Maybe consider matrix instead in c/anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com

Does matrix have voice channels where I can share screen with sound on wayland?

Google Play Store listing apps installed from F-Droid that it cannot update in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[–] uuhhhhmmmm@sh.itjust.works 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

But Google is likely trying this dark pattern to sway people away from F-Droid or alt stores by making users uninstall these apps and install it from the Google Play Store.

No, it's the security measure. Anyone can use existing package ID. If the user installs a different app with the same package ID as the other, that new app just overwrites the old app and will have access to the sensitive data of it.

F-Droid apps are built and signed by the people at F-Droid. Apps from Google Play and GitHub are built and signed by the developers themselves. You can update Google Play apps from GitHub and vice versa. That's why I use Obtainium over F-Droid.

YouTube stops recommending videos when signed out of Google (www.bleepingcomputer.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/13000986

YouTube is no longer showing recommended videos to users logged out of a Google account or using Incognito mode, making people concerned they are being bullied into always being signed into the service.

This change, which is now rolling out, shows a simple YouTube homepage without any videos or tips on what to watch.

As noted by some on X, users who have cleaned their search and watch history or turned off their history settings also see no suggestions when they're logged in. Some people think YouTube is being pushy about this, trying to make users turn on their history settings.

The problem with "org" part. We'll never have org.gnome and com.gnome packages. Some apps have io.github.foo.bar. This entire thing is also case sensitive, so I have to guess is org.gnome.epiphany right name or org.gnome.Epiphany.

Even worse, Thunderbird doesn't save data in ~/.mozilla/thunderbird, but in ~/.thunderbird.

Feature request: option to disable infinite scrolling (sh.itjust.works)
 

Probably unpopular opinion, but recently i found infinite scrolling being very addictive. I would like to scroll about 50 posts (might be customizable), then click a button to load more, like in Voyager.

Lemmy app from KDE? (sh.itjust.works)
 

We have Tokodon for Mastodon and NeoChat for Matrix, but KDE app for Lemmy is missing here. Are there any plans for making one?

There are already some GTK clients, but they are not looking well on KDE Plasma.
