it’s a very good tipping point dude. settings is so complicated to navigate and is very slow. not to mention control panel still has more features than settings

of course! i recommend downloading an older version of youtube by at least 2 builds (if the newest is 19.30, go for 19.28). i also recommend taking a while to go through all the settings. there are a ton of things you can tinker with to make youtube better

use uYouEnhanced (it’s iOS only and on github). gotta build it yourself with your own decrypted youtube IPA. haven’t seen an ad in years because of it. it also includes sponsorblock and free downloads

due to apple’s stupid side loading policies, you gotta sideload this through a service like AltStore or Sideloadly so you can actually launch the app. i personally recommend sideloadly because they allow 1 more app to be signed than altstore, and they let you enable file permissions for apps you download

oh my god. who’d wanna sign up for a service run by that dumbass lol

definitely. i know so many people from my school who’s iphone home screen is just… pages full of apps. we’re talking 40+ apps on average. they always say it’s weird how i use a website for almost everything, and then they complain about their storage space :/

i’m out of the loop. why does it say “retruth”? is there a new social media that i don’t know about?

you’d be surprised how many people i know think that all gay people are femboys. when i came out to a friend of mine, he said i never acted gay. i asked him what he meant and he said that he thought all gay people wore makeup. seems to be what they think of as representing “gay”

i haven’t actually asked him yet, but one of his friends said he was. i also don’t wanna make things awkward between us. at the same time though… i’m also curious what would happen if i did ask him. i’m not 100% sure he’s actually straight

i’d certainly like to go to a college where gays can be gay, but i live in oklahoma… i doubt there’s anything like that here. i also live in the country so online dating wouldn’t work

try linux mint!

that’d be great but i’m pretty sure like 90% of chrome users don’t even know what an extension or even an adblocker is. they’ll just keep using chrome because that’s the browser everyone else uses unfortunately

…i know that all too well. my family is unfortunately religious and a few years ago they found out that i had a crush on my best friend. so i had to do this straight conversion therapy shit. i only made it last a day though by telling my mom that i had a crush on a girl in my class (i lied).

probably not. i might just not plug it in and see how it goes. if it doesn’t work out, i guess i’ll have to DNS block its tracking from a openwrt pi

my parents and siblings enjoy the convenience of alexas and the fact that they can play music. i’ve tried suggesting an actual intercom system and they’re against it

that’s sounds great! thanks for telling me

thanks for the suggestion! as for nextDNS, i was already thinking of using this however you cannot change the DNS servers used on alexa devices. i was thinking of setting up openWRT on a pi and using that as a router specifically for our alexa devices with a nextDNS profile installed, but im not sure if alexa’s default to the router’s DNS or amazon’s. even if it does use the router’s DNS, does it backup to Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8) like Roku does?

buddy i would if i could. unfortunately they are forcing me to have it on at all times. which is why im asking for suggestions

sorry for asking a question about privacy in a privacy community. i can’t just not use it because my parents are forcing me to use it. if i was allowed to unplug it, i would.

it’s pretty bad but i’d definitely take it over where i live (oklahoma). aside from like 5… maybe 6(?) people in my school, everyone is homophobic. it’s hell
