@boogetyboo there's still a good chance you're using your Internet Service Provider's DNS.

Not only does this mean its super trivial for them to block things they don't want you to access, but this also means they can see (and they probably log) everything you do; no good for privacy or freely accessible info

Try switching to something like quad9, and reboot your devices after to make sure they've cleared their DNS cache

PS:
You can just add dns.quad9.net to Settings > Network > Private DNS on Android if you don't want the app.

@HurlingDurling

Just go right to the source:
https://lineageos.org/Changelog-28/

@sigmaklimgrindset well, for one, it is a completely separate app

No seriously, where ReVanced is a collection of patches for the official YouTube app(s) (and some others)

NewPipe is a built-from-the-ground, independent, no-Google-Code YouTube client that relies entirely on scraping the website using NewPipeExtractor

As such, the entire experience apart from the content itself differs.

@unterzicht that IS it's use. It is primarily used in show-off posts where people present their systems so that people in the replies can get a quick glance on what they're running.

The reason this is big news is because neofetch was by far the biggest project of it's kind

Custom ROMs win again!

@Benjamin its basically automatic e-mail in the sense that it doesn't matter what e-mail provider you're on but you can still contact each other across mail providers

Here you can substitute mail providers with social media platforms, and it happens ✨automagically✨, without anyone doing anything

To put this into perspective, I see hundreds of posts that aren't by people that signed up on wetdry.world on my home feed, and I can still interact with them, yet wetdry.world is my home.

Maybe the little explanation video on https://fediverse.info helps

@Benjamin

No I am not saying accounts are portable, but the content is. Your mastodon app has no idea how to handle Lemmy, and your Lemmy app has no idea how to handle Mastodon

BUT the servers that you're signing up to? They know how to share the content between eachother. That is because they all use the ActivityPub standard to exchange posts and account data.

@Benjamin they're all connected :)

I'm writing to you from mastodon (hence all my replies start by pinging you)

Lemmy does format some things in lemmy-specific ways, but other than that all our posts can be viewed anywhere, and I can slap any lemmy thread into my mastodon UI to reply to whoever I want

@Benjamin account removal can be done on https://my.telegram.org if I recall right.

Also...someone OTHER THAN ME linked this? That's rare

Matrix is currently in a bit of a weird place as funding is low. Its alright, but dont expect Telegram-level UX. Element is also re-making their mobile apps as part of Element X.

@Benjamin the wha-

okay here's an unshortened one

I usually share the shortened one because cryptpad links tend to be large

@Benjamin oh there are other reasons not to use it

(full disclosure: that is my document, I maintain and update it)

@matcha_addict you can make it however big or small you want 🤷

@Benjamin Telegram. They all moved to fucking telegram.

@matcha_addict the keyboard experience is quite literally just your device's keyboard

Maybe you wanna try Unexpected Keyboard?

oh this is awesome, I wonder how this'd look with a dark colorscheme? 🤔
