0·23 hours agoI’m not very tech-savvy, and that article looks very nice, but it’s kind of old and it’s true that they haven’t been as transparent (and frequently audited) as other services and they still require a phone number to set up an account, even if you can switch to only using a username later. Also, they removed encrypted database, and Molly brings that back which is the main reason I use it. Another thing I don’t like about Signal is how ferociously they’ve tried to shut down forks in the past, and how they don’t say that you need Google Play Services for it to work properly. Sadly it’s the only “privacy-conscious” service I’ve managed to make most of my family and friends use, after trying for years.
I use the Molly-FOSS fork, do you know if that removes the metadata collection? I know it doesn’t use any Google Play Services and it comes with its own notification bubble though.
Musicolet, lets you create playlists but it can also create randomized playlists and have multiple queues at the same time. It’s not FOSS though, if that’s something you care about. But it doesn’t even connect to the internet so I don’t mind.

2·14 days agoMany if not most creators have complained that what Youtube pays them is ridiculous.
You’re doing exactly what they want you to do then. Why not try some alternatives for ad-free watching like Newpipe or Freetube or some such? Youtube is not worthy of your hard-earned cash…
I’d recommend Eternity for Lemmy, same developer as Infinity for Reddit, and FOSS. I too tried a bunch of Lemmy apps and I settled on Eternity because it’s pretty much a complete app. I don’t miss any features.

Same here, still works

Looks like it, yeah - they’ll announce it today

I love them but their paid storage options are way too expensive
Hi, I can recommend kDrive and Infomaniak too. Their price and the features they offer, coupled with their focus on privacy and encryption, make them the best alternative to the google suite tbh. I have used them for two years and I’m really happy. I’m just subscribed to kMail and kDrive services and that includes all the office apps I need, maybe you don’t need the whole kSuite: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/kdrive
Someone just posted on slrpk.net that a few instances are having stability issues right now
I tried Thunder, Sync, Liftoff, Boost, and settled on Eternity.
