old people like me

The person who sends me far more TikTok videos than anyone else is my boomer dad.

byroon,

This but it’s instagram

WalrusDragonOnABike,

It’s both. So annoying when the first bit is muted and you can’t replay.

My wife created an Instagram account in my phone so she can send me videos.

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

i shall retaliate with fediverse links

AnxiousDuck,

Have you heard about our lords and saviors the alternative frontends?

UltraMagnus0001,

Facebook videos for me

Emerald,

Why don’t they just actually send the video file?

schnokobaer,

Those apps purposely don’t make it trivial to download the files do they? You probably could but someone who swipes Tiktok all day can not.

raginghummus,

Lots of tiktoks can be downloaded easily, but still, they can be large, why send those around when you can just send a link

WalrusDragonOnABike,

For better user experience for the person receiving it.

Downloading takes time and disk space. Sending a link is easier.

Ugh… I can feel this in my bones.

AgentGrimstone,

I just don’t respond but she’s not getting the hint.

Waaaaaaah waaaaah it’s fine. Tiktok isn’t gonna kill you.

Do memes stop being memes when they’re on tiktok?

S_204,

Once they hit TikTok, they’re purely Chinese spyware.

Reddfugee42,

And that’s different than American spyware in several important ways, such as…

Such as…

Well shit.

Eh, I used to think this too, but TikTok isn’t closely associated with chinese companies, any more than TakeTwo or anything made in Shenzhen.

I still abhor it for what it is though, alongside YTShorts.

@hark@lemmy.world avatar

What sort of spyware do they employ?

S_204,

The worst kind.

hark,
@hark@lemmy.world avatar

Any actual information on the spyware or nah?

S_204,

Are you actually this ignorant? There have been exposés in multiple international newspapers on the source code after it leaked.

If you’re so stupid that you’ve entirely missed one of the largest spyware scandals in recent history, then I don’t think there’s a source I can give you that’s going to cure your other stupidity.

Trying to jaq off here like you are just makes you look like pathetic.

hark,
@hark@lemmy.world avatar

Could you link to any source that talks about this spyware or are you just going to insult me for not knowing about every single thing that is going on? Clearly this is an important issue for you, so I would love to gain some knowledge from you on this subject.

markon,

Facebook is just American spyware. The Chinese gov can’t exactly send the feds to my house. You better bet the US gov can though!

SuperSpruce,

Forget countries, if Facebook is like having a prying eye spy on you, TikTok is like having 100 prying eyes spying on you.

As always I like promoting open source frontends for these pages. For tiktok I use proxytok. For changing any tiktok link to one of these instances use the libredirect extension for firefox, it also works in mobile

Oh shit!

This post actually made me look for a solution and I found one!
Solution to opening tiktoks without using tiktok app or site, not how to stop ur friends sending u garbage.

It made me think… mpv player can play basically any link you throw at it (thanks to yt-dlp), and we also have mpv on Android, so why can’t we do it there as well. And sure enough, I found this github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/pull/58, someone baked yt-dlp in mpv for Android, making it possible to open link in mpv (share >> play in mpv)

It works for instagram and all other shit.

cor315,

Well that’s pretty cool

IndefiniteBen,

While this is useful, it could be even better! If the AndroidManifest.xml also contained support for Facebook, TikTok and Instagram links it could be set to directly open them instead needing to share it to mpv.

can,

Can’t wait to try this out. Thanks for sharing.

toothpaste_sandwich,

So do we need to download something from your link to make that work? Or is it already part of MPV?

daellat,

Gotta download the APK from the link

pacoboyd,

I have just moved to mpv from mx player due to this comment. Thanks!

If you are sending the links through discord/chat with embed add vx in front of tiktok and it becomes playable in discord itself. (www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8b81Gu1/ -> www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8b81Gu1/)

In a removed move, a normal tiktok link will have a play button on the icon like it should play, but can’t. This one actually will.
