LastInLine posted:I guess if Google built something people wanted carriers would stop selling telephones or something. That reasoning doesn't even pass the absurdity test. The absurd explanation Google's Messaging head gave to The Verge was that the carriers would just get upset and fork Android. Pay no attention to the fact that such a rage-fork would then not have access to Google Play, making those hypothetical handsets unsaleable featurephones at best. (Plus, y'know, LOL at the carriers spinning up OS development teams and standing up their own multiplicity of app stores and developers jumping through the endless hoops of working with legacy carriers. Christ, look how long it took loving Amazon to get a moderately-functional non-Google Android app store catalog.) Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 01:28 on Apr 21, 2018 |

Wrist Watch posted:So with Flamingo gone, is Fenix the only other Twitter app worth checking out? I want to give other apps beyond the official one a shot but the reviews on Fenix are a bit worrying. I like talon. It does what I need it to do, which is to read tweets and not be full of poo poo ads like the official app.

Twitter will probably hang around for a half generation like Facey, but advertising as we know it is a dying platform for sure.

I'm not saying it's dying fast or that they've stopped trying to revive, but adblock at the browser, at the kernel, at the VPN etc is increasing. I see so many "pppppppwease dont bwock me  " messages and it doesn't change my feelings at all. Product placement and press releases as news/entertainment is the future.Speaking of I'm pretty sure I need to root my pixel to block YouTube ads? Anybody have a recommend app or guide?

I buy one off pro versions but not subscriptions. If the best options gently caress up the phone I'll just stick to YouTube in the browser. It's just very obvious whenever I decide to watch a video on my phone since I never see them on the PC I'll check out Adguard anyway.

Is there an app (or any other way) to disable the volume / ear damage warning? I use my Pixel to listen to Spotify in the car, but the idiot device assumes everything plugged into it is a headphone. One day I'm going to crash and die while I'm trying to cancel the stupid warning and turn the volume back up to an audible level because it's randomly kicked in on the motorway again.

If you pay YouTube, does YouTube pay video publishers in lieu of ad income?

It's also a strong incentive to not hate watch anything. e: I should add, in the mean time I am blocking the gently caress out of all ads. I almost never watch Youtube on mobile because of ads, but perhaps I should try playing them in the ad blocked mobile Firefox.

I went ahead and set up a Tiny Tiny RSS server any of you guys can use. The Android app is good and so is the web interface. Go here, register, go crazy with a very good RSS reading and managing thingamabob. If anyone sees any plugins they'd like installed let me know. I don't really know how many users this server can support so I limited the total number of users for now until I can watch the server load for a while. If more than a person or two signs up I'll probably have to start a thread to keep discussion out of this thread, but people ask for something like this in this thread occasionally. Until/if I do you can PM me for support.

I've imported my feeds from feedly via OPML, and discovered a few that claim to be broken. Most of them actually are, but one isn't really. The feed URL is https://www.tonedeafcomics.com/blogs/comics.atom, which I can get to fine in my browser. Tiny Tiny RSS, however, thinks it's getting a 404 instead. Any ideas what might be going on? For what it's worth, feedly also thinks the feed is unreachable, but still provides me with content (somehow). Which client do you suggest? Edit: whoops, just noticed your last bit; I haven't sprung for PMs yet. I suppose I probably should.

I like the lack of ads and the actual chronological timeline but if enabling that isn't an option I might just refund this.

For anyone that uses their Play Store credit towards a Youtube Red subscription, do you have to have the full monthly amount pre-loaded into your account in order to pay? Or can you have whatever's in your account added towards the bill, and the rest paid through Paypal?

You have to load credit to your account or pay it fully from another method. You use your credit for part and pay the rest for whatever reason.
