Get Pixel Experience or LineageOS. It’s the whole point of having a Pixel phone; you can still upgrade it after it was planned obsolescenced.

Being connected online is advertising intrusion vectors to would-be nefarious actors

ReVanced is so much better. It can even block Reddit ads.

A government-sponsored instance could be interesting, but I’m not sure what value it would bring. Also it would probably turn instantly into worse than Facebook with toxicity.

Putting Tumblr on ActivityPub could be interesting and potentially save it, but there’s so much deleted content from when it was in its prime that I’m not sure if it’s even worth it. The platform is so dead.

That said, giving taxpayer money to private social media businesses is the worst idea ever. In the first place, public money should mean public code.

NewPipe is better for playing a playlist in the background, ReVanced is better for active watching and browsing

Don’t forget that NewPipe × SponsorBlock is a fork that adds SponsorBlock. Also there’s ReVanced to make YouTube bearable while still having access to your curated feed.

I wouldn’t even watch LTT without SponsorBlock tbh

There’s no Android build yet since it’s easier to just focus on features first and deployment later, but I do plan on having a SSR build, a PWA build and an Android build.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why having “leopards ate my face” in the title is banned in the subreddit :)

It’s honestly something I have always wanted from Reddit. You know that moment when you open a post, do stuff, go back and then suddenly you lost your scroll position and you have to go back to where you were and it takes so much time that you just close the app? Yeah, fuck that.

I’m thinking about infinite scrolling in a way that edits the page number automatically so that you can go back even if you reload the page, but it’s definitely not a priority at the moment. I’d rather add basic features like commenting and posting first. And maybe basic mod tools, since it’s always something that third-party apps lack for some reason.

Oh wow, it actually works!

I’m making a web app at the moment for personal use. So far, you can scroll posts, sort, filter, upvote, downvote, view one comment page, view a user’s posts, view a community’s posts, subscribe / block users and communities… and that’s about it

Ironically, since it doesn’t have the blur NSFW post feature yet, it’s a much better client for browsing NSFW communities than established clients :D

Absolutely not ready for prime time yet; there’s no deployment, you have to build it from source and it you can’t even comment. https://github.com/NatoBoram/Leanish
