Maybe some day an Android update will come out that lets you have any download prompt allow you to set where to save it and rename the file to instead of auto downloading for all apps. It is annoying the way it presently is.

the fediverse blocking off people who want to join it seems odd. Like, we want the fediverse to be a thing so that everything can talk to everything else and the content itself can be king without having to worry too much about where that content lives.
Not me. I wanted something free from multibillion dollar corporations. And people aren't blocked off. They don't even need an account to view content or an app. And they aren't blocked from creating a non meta affiliated account if they want to participate.
I think like a lot of people the reason I'm putting up with the growing pains of a decentralized network, the fragmentation of communities that come with it, and sync issues across instances is because we want to try something that isn't run by corporations that views users as something to sell off to the highest bidder. If I wanted to deal with a centralized large user base why wouldn't I just skip this whole fediverse thing and go straight to Meta or reddit or Twitter or tiktok that is way more user friendly? I'm not here because I want another reddit clone that ends up being run or is influenced by another billionaire asshole down the line.
So there are YouTube front ends for browser experience, but has anyone tried freetube from this guide?

I've really liked the newpipe x Sponsorblock experience on my Android phone with having a subscription list, saves, playlists all locally with no YouTube account and ability to export and import the data of Playlists etc.
Freetube sounds like newpipe for desktop and has sponsorblock as an option too. Anyone use it or used it and have an thoughts on it?
Why would I want to be famous if I'm not even going to be rich in exchange for that. Rich without having to be famous is the way to go.
I stand with Firefox.
Hopefully RES type option comes out for lemmy and kbin.
So true. I've been using the browser on my phone and everything is actually readable. And comments having pics within them blew my mind.
Reminds me of Black Mirror White Christmas episode. I could use that feature.
