why are so many people going apeshit with marketing and PR? yeah the guy seems to be a sycophant, licking boot to protect his business, while throwing out a couple of unfortunate truths

if or when Trump finally condenses the fascistic and white supremacist tendencies of the US overtly into the regime, would you expect Proton to lead the resistance? maybe Ben & Jerry’s? or some other progressive BS posturing company?

why are we talking about what Proton stands for? it is not a person with ideologies…fuck corporate personhood

people looking for “good companies” is just sad

I wouldn’t call it a “scam” just manipulative marketing

the difference?

yes, they do (redmi the same as other xiaomi phones) and that’s an important thing I left out.

I did create an account long ago with an alias email that i’ve used for the unlocking of several phones’ bootloader. it also requires a phone number for “verification” when you start the unlocking process, so for anonimity you’d need an unregistered burner phone number

so it does leave a trace in their books

in case you go for a cheap new phone, around here the best option are some Redmi ones. recently got a Redmi Note 9 and slapped LOS on it for a friend, for about 170€. since none are very recent models, sometimes I had to spend a good time searching for them in shop stocks

there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

isn’t Izzy’s full of closed source stuff?

thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting “Proxy videos through Invidious”. it’s turned off now and working fine

how can i find such “obscure” instances, tho? i’ve always picked one from the Invidious’ website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now

also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine

on a side note, I’d never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know

damn, even with seeing the bot around here i forgot to try Piped these days

anyway, i’ve found a solution - i had “proxy videos through Invidious” turned on on Freetube (which was redundant since i’m behind a VPN). i’ve unchecked it and things seem fime now

still, thank you

yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that’s why

no real estate taxes for the first house owned, heavy and progressive taxes starting on the second, is an idea

companies get called people all the time, i’m starting to believe it, but i still think they don’t need shelter, so they shouldn’t be able to aquire a basic human need

so i guess over 20% of houses in Austria, Netherlands, or Denmark have no lights and leaking roofs. if only those people got their own…

“popular social networking site makes minor UI ajustment”

technology!!

ohhhh, i can browse channel playlists, this is great!! the only feature i’ve been missing from this awesome app

that guy Schneegans makes the most beautiful useless rice! i’m tempted to switch to gnome now…

they do. i was not clear, sorry

thanks, i got it! i just managed to comment on a video :D

funny thing is that, through lemmy, i can only see my own comments, although there are several additional ones from peertube’s view

EDIT: re-phrasing

i meant to comment or just see the content from there, like i’ve seen mastodon users’ comments here on lemmy and lemming comments on peertube

yes i’ve interacted with mastodon users here through lemmy, but am still figuring out how i get on the other platforms from here

thanks for the clarification!

now i’ll get a mastoson client to follow communities on lemmy, hop on peertube comments from here and hopefully lurk on mastodon from newpipe muAHAHaHahHahah

is this community the Peertube channel? through Newpipe i can see peertube comments (even lemmy accounts!) but on that community i see none. also the lammy client might be an issue…?

i’m really exited about this, now i’ll be able to correct people wrong on the internet like i can’t do on youtube videos!!

yes! i can follow on android with Newpipe but on desktop have to use browser bookmarks
