thanks, kinda thought so, gonna use netguard when using it, more important than the vpn
Appreciate and upvote every reply to my comments/posts if I can detect any effort being put into it; even if I think you completely missed what I tried to say or strongly disagree with your opinion.
Occasionally I cannot resist shitposting, hyperbolic, ironic, sarcastic or populist rhetoric; no /s

birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to replace or open blocked embedded youtube videos2·5 months agoi dont, as I came to the conclusion that medium mode is too much work and not worth it (especially on mobile). Got Phoenix and manually imported some of the blocklists into Ironfox (for example “⛔ yokoffing’s click2load filters” does what is described in the x-post you linked, but as you noted, you will still connect youtube
birdcat@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•How to replace or open blocked embedded youtube videos1·5 months agodoesn’t work I think. block embedded stuff and make it so that when you click on the placeholder, it opens FreeTube
Was wondering about that stuff too! I don’t live in my (safe) county of origin, but my VPN provider is from there (and I’m like 80℅ sure that provider is a CIA front, but anyway) and it’s the only country I ever got arrested once or twice, where they have a file about me and whatnot.
Whenever I visit, I immediately get phone calls and letters about some kind of “military tax” that I never paid. Takes like them like 30 minutes to understand that I’m aware and don’t plan to pay anything, even tho I actually need to and will land in military prison!!! (for an afternoon lol, sure pick me up, waiting, will be here all week).
Then I also don’t seriously care about hiding anything from the country where I actually live, yet I do it all the time and insist on “anonymity” when e.g. defending that countries policies online or simply share my love for that country.
Am I stupid for using that VPN provider? Probably, but I just want my Apple Music to be streamed lossless, which only works with that VPN.
In the end I think my biggest stupidity was to start to believe that I even have something like a treat model, or that its worth to invest 2 afternoons only so creep JS cannot remember me anymore, wow, what a success! 🙄
Uh, sorry for the ramblings, it’s holiday and I already had a beer. If you actually do have a treat model of any kind – take care, stay safe, and never ever put your safety into anything from 🇨🇭
birdcat@lemmy.mlto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Simple Mobile Tools is being sold to a for-profit firm ZipoApps612·2 years agolol exactly this. I never even liked those apps or the dev (cuz of the phone thing), but this makes me sympathize with him much more. glad for him.
ppl should stop wining and being very disappointed with this step and develop and maintain their own apps without getting anything back 🙄

readinghearing of studies that came to the conclusion that highlighting and adding notes is for nothing, I try to form the habit to summerize thoughts in my own words; and for fiction books write a short review after reading it.
Idk. But I know a country where the VPN quadrupled my internet speed.
Aah that is the one I was looking for, and it’s right there. Thanks 😅
it’s not that easy to find a real Youtube alternative, I tried it recently and got meek results, sharing them from my personal notebook:
- Odysee – a youtube for righwingers and scammers 😒
- removedute – a youtube for the far right lost in conspiracy madness 🤮
- DTube – a youtube that runs on Blockchain? 🙄
- Vimeo – NEXT!
- Daylimotion – hm, not bad maybe but idk 🤔
- peertube – too confusing 😵💫
- means.tv – seems nice, but too expensive 😢
Nebula costs ~$15/year. The content is mostly great, mobile app is a disaster.
i dont seem to have that function. anyway cannot rly see the harm with that app and the vpn block solution.
