Anyone have any alternatives to Voice?

frantic6423,

I moved my number to VoIP.ms and while it’s not nearly the same service wise, SMS do come to my email and I can call and receive calls via any VoIP app I want.

Thanks. Looks promising. Will def look further into.

Rpi + LineageOS Android TV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Bluetooth pilot + MiraCast

akilou,

Oof. This summarizes perfectly what it’s like to give a shit about privacy.

I believe that doing these few things that we can do is a very low price to pay in the fight against a multi-billion dollar corporation

akilou,

Explain setting up a Raspberry Pi to your aunt and have her tell me it’s a low pricw. Let alone lineage os, Jellyfin, Smart tube, and whatever else was in your list. And that solves just casting and steaming. Now do email, messages, browser tracking and fingerprinting, and everything else in our lives… It a lot. And honestly too much.

Chozo,

Yep, I'm with you on that. I'm actually pretty tech-literate, and even I don't have the time/energy to bother with all of that shit. That's a lot of work and maintenance just for a single task that I want to be as idle as possible. Watching videos should just be two clicks, not studying and building and troubleshooting and updating and configuring a dozen things.

Yes, I understand that setting up a Raspberry Pi with LineageOS and other apps can be a challenge for many people. Protecting your online privacy definitely requires effort, especially when using different services. But even small steps, such as using alternative apps, can make a difference in increasing privacy. Even if you can’t implement all the privacy suggestions, you can choose a few that are most important to you.

This is a long-term war that requires technical knowledge from us. Big Tech corporations take advantage of our lack of knowledge. Information is power, and power is money. That’s the point.

If your aunt doesn’t care, screw it. Take care of yourself.

Lemmyfunbun,

Didnt know their was Lineage for TVs

xvlc, in Kroger Sued for Sharing Sensitive Health Data With Meta

I was confused for a second asking myself when Kroger was split into Kroger Sued and Kroger Nord.

I just got the Nvidia Shield Pro (2019) model on sale during BF sale, totally a game changer for us! Although some tweaks are needed when first setup, such as ProjectIvy to replace AndroidTV bloat screen and Button Remapper to remap Netflix button on the remote to whatever else you want it to launch.

Fun fact for shield owners:

If you block this domain with your dns ad blocker, the default launcher will only show ads for the YouTube, Google TV, and Google Play Store apps (not individual shows). I find these to be far less annoying as they use muted tones.

androidtvwatsonfe-pa.googleapis.com

If you have already setup your device and currently see ads, you need to reset the android tv home application data to get rid of them. This will temporarily show you the old dashboard, but the new one will load eventually (without ads).

@LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world avatar

Nice one, although I personally find it better to use Project Ivy or any other custom launcher instead.

In 10 years: congratulations, you won. Here’s 5% of the profits we made on this which after the lawyer’s fees comes down to… $5 each. Enjoy.

What companies are you signed up with?

vikinghoarder, in Best alternative to Chromecast?

Raspberry pi and Kodi

possiblylinux127,

How do you cast with that setup?

vikinghoarder,

I got the kodi app for android and when sharing a button shows with the option “play on kodi”

I just read the whole article and my desire to live in the woods without electricity was multiplied by ten. Too bad I study IT :(

    I’ve come across a few sites that require one upper case, one number and one symbol (from a short list). Not at least one of each, no no, precisely one of each. One site even forced the password length to be exact -_-

    winterayars, in An article about how a priest was discovered using gay apps

    “Commandment of celibacy”???

    I am pretty sure that’s not a thing? Like that’s not one of the big ten. I don’t remember Jesus saying anything about commanding it, though he said to accept it if you can. I do remember stuff about rich people, though. That may be relevant considering they’re spending $4mil to go after gay priests…

    captainlezbian,

    Yeah celibacy is about inheritance not Jesus in Catholicism. Do they think the guy who convinced multiple men to ditch their wives and kids to wander the desert with a bunch of men was really that into celibacy and men not getting it on?

    winterayars,

    I think they think he’s gay and that’s the real reason.

    tygerprints,

    I'm willing to bet he isn't. Most priests who engage in same sex acts with underage kids (for example) are not gay and have never wanted any kind of adult gay relationship. I only point this out because people think that priests = gay. Most same-sex pedophiles aren't gay and have no desire for normal adult gay relationships at all.

    Pronell,

    A new monk arrived at the monastery. He was assigned to help the other monks in copying the old texts by hand. He noticed, however, that they were copying copies, not the original books. The new monk went to the head monk to ask him about this. He pointed out that if there were an error in the first copy, that error would be continued in all of the other copies.

    The head monk said, ‘We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son.’ The head monk went down into the cellar with one of the copies to check it against the original.

    Hours later, nobody had seen him, so one of the monks went downstairs to look for him. He heard a sobbing coming from the back of the cellar and found the old monk leaning over one of the original books, crying.

    He asked what was wrong.

    ‘The word is ‘celebrate,’ not ‘celibate’!’ sobbed the head monk.

    If we could audit individuals’ passwords across services, I’ll bet the duplicate and weak passwords found would likely be terrifying.

    sic_semper_tyrannis, in Best alternative to Chromecast?

    This is not my preferred option (other comment suggestions are more privacy respecting) but just so you have more information, Roku TVs have Miracast built in.

    All Plex authentication goes through Plex managed servers. There is no local option unless that has recently changed.

    Ok fair point. I still won’t use Plex for a lot of reasons, but good to know

    inetknght, in Largest Study of its Kind Shows Outdated Password Practices are Widespread

    If a website requires so few characters that I have to create custom rule in my password manager for it… then it’s a website I’m strongly inclined not to use.

    Sadly, a lot of these websites deal with finances or employment.

    Paypal lol. Literally my most insecure password

    wincing_nucleus073,

    you know what’s funny. in paypal you are not even allowed to make a secure password. they have a short character limit.

    Pantherina,

    Yesss my shortest Password. Fuck Paypal I only have it for weird stuff and that Indian Developer that still maintains LineageOS Android 14 for my Nokia phone
