jacktherippah,

This is exactly the reason why I don’t like F-Droid as a way to get apps. You’ll have to trust an additional party when getting your apps, and updates are often a couple days behind. I prefer to get it straight from the developer’s GitHub or Coderberg or whatever.

jacktherippah,

Their reasoning is sound. They don’t want to defend against a corporation for a hobbyist project. There’s already going to be a fork so that’s good I guess. I just hope jay forks it for a J2K version.

jacktherippah,

Yeah, they’re former Redditors. They don’t read past the titles.

jacktherippah,

I couldn’t care less about the others. I have extremely strong opinions about TikTok though.

jacktherippah,

Probably social media like Facebook, Instagram, … Or video sharing sites like TikTok (yuck!) and YouTube.

I have an issue with how SIM cards are handled in most countries

Almost all countries require official authentication to activate a SIM card. This seems to me as a huge privacy problem, if the country can track sim cards across cell towers and connect them to a person. It seems like a dystopian system, that we litterely can not hide from our governments without turning off our smartphones. It...

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that the vast majority of people here don’t have such a threat model. Our threat model is mostly preventing corporations like Google and Facebook from accessing our data. If your threat model is so advanced that you need to prevent tracking via connection to a cell tower (i.e state actors targeting you), the only thing you can do short of putting your phone in a faraday cage/taking out the cellular radios/ not having a phone at all is to turn on airplane mode. This is because your phone still maintains a connection to a cell tower without a SIM card.

I agree, mrwhosetheboss got so boring for me. Every video just felt pretty much the same. Same old jokes, same old style, every single time. For me, another one is Linus Tech Tips. Their content just feels kinda boring nowadays. It was much better maybe 2-3 years ago.

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

jacktherippah,

I have none because I’m broke af.

jacktherippah,

Jay hasn’t responded yet. I’m still holding out hope. J2K is my favorite fork.

jacktherippah,

github.com/KotatsuApp/Kotatsu is an option. It’s no Tachiyomi but it works.

jacktherippah, (edited )

Yes. Tachiyomi has removed all extensions from the app. Forks like TachiJ2K are affected as well. However, you can still download and use the existing extensions. They’ve been backed up to some external repos. Just choose the new repos as the extension source and you’re good to go. But as they’re not getting fixes and such anymore, those existing extensions will only continue to work until they don’t anymore. After that, idk, maybe some new extensions will be developed by someone else, or you’ll just have to bring your own content.

jacktherippah,

TachiyomiJ2K is what I use.

jacktherippah,

Cool but when is GNOME gonna do fractional scaling without half the apps I use going blurry?

jacktherippah,

Definitely worth the ad free. Not the Ultra.

jacktherippah,

There are even videos of big ass cats (maybe panthers/lions idk) on YouTube meowing and purring so uhhh maybe?

jacktherippah,

I am a tech, foss & privacy enthusiast 🥹

I love Tom Cruise. The man is an amazing, committed actor. He doesn’t need flashy CGI or visual effects and he does insane stunts for our entertainment. Too bad he’s a fucking nutjob.
