I'm Russian. We're fine with porn on the internet and we pirate everything. The company I worked at had these problems incessantly.
You typed "porn" into search. What did you expect, Karen? Cat videos? Yeah, it sucks. Why must they force their prudishness on the whole world? Such a pain. They force copyright as well via US government and its trade agreements.
It's like they won't rest until the entire world becomes America. History repeats. It's great that Apple is using their power for good. Doesn't change the fact they have power over you.
They decide what software you're allowed to run. You have no freedom. There are tons of other high quality devices of the same variety that I can buy and use to run whatever I want. I don't see the problem with this arrangement, nobody is deceived about how this works when they decide to buy Apple's devices, yet they stubbornly insist on buying them.
It's entirely possible for them to change strategies and start oppressing you out of the blue. Lots of things are 'entirely possible,' it's also entirely possible that Apple decide that sideloading is totally fine.
It's entirely possible Google will ban sideloading. What's plausible is that the device you purchased will operate in roughly the same way over the lifetime of the device. How many people who aren't software developers are aware of the iOS app publishing process? Thing is, Apple would deserve at least some of that if people installed apps thanks to the app store influence alone. But that's not the case. Most developers do their own marketing, with Apple forcibly inserting itself in between.
Many would distribute their apps from their own websites given the option. Apple and its infamous app review process is just an additional annoyance to deal with because that's your only way to get your app to your users. I think some restrictions are good, actually.
Side-loading is not optional if your school, employer, or government distributes apps that spy on you to prevent you from cheating on tests, say that way. Okay, wow. Have you used an Adobe Creative product on macOS recently? I've spent a few hours today looking at ways to block ads on youtube.
I'm sick of ads on my tv and my iphone. Found a few interesting apps but I have no chance of installing them on my iphone. Meanwhile in Android it seems I can install any. I'm selling my iphone and getting an android this black friday. What phone is the most "open" and functional?
I did that. It comes with YouTube music which is a different thing, though some music has videos. Imagine paying the surveillance capitalists not to annoy you with ads and then having to suffer videos with sponsors in them.
What does that leave? Exactly, I don't want to pay for their crappy abusive service. Imagine paying so you can watch "ad free" content with sponsors and product placement, and be surveilled by Google on top of it too. Yeah, that's a level of indignity I won't tolerate. I encourage everyone here to do the same: don't support these companies and their abuse.
It leaves the people who create because they have something to say rather than a desire to make money. The internet used to have a lot more of those before these advertisers came and corrupted everything. I don't understand why people assume nothing will be created if there's no money in it despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, including free software. I suppose it's due to copyright monopolist propaganda.
AnthonyMouse 19 days ago root parent prev next [—]. It's not about having none of them. It's about, pick one. If I'm paying you it's so that I don't have to see ads, so there better not be any ads. But also, there was actually quite a lot of quality content on the internet before there was any monetization at all. People like to hear themselves talk and some subset of them are worth listening to. There will always be good free content. Don't forget - Books - The local library - Piracy.
Hell no. They are effectively taking away our freedom to ignore and selling it back to us. Just donate to the creators directly.
Something has to pay for that insane amount of storage and bandwidth. I'm not sure where people get the idea that YouTube should be a charity. There are premium streaming services with big budget movies and TV shows that cost less than that. I spend more time on YouTube than any other service so it's worth it for me. It also includes YouTube Music which means I don't have to pay for a Spotify or similar service separately.
Not my problem. Fuck them if they want to force me to consume. Remember that they want you to pay them to play content in the background , something every general-purpose multitasking computer could do before. I bought a computer and pay an ISP for bandwidth, back when audio and video was just pirated there was no one to demand we watch ads in return for a few pennies of remote storage. Jtsummers 19 days ago root parent next [—]. Well, video streaming, in particular, picked up in the mids.
But audio streaming predated it slightly , as internet radio. It, very often, had ads. Pandora, circa , also had ads or a paid service. Advertisement in exchange for free access to media is not a novel thing. How is YouTube supposed to pay for that without ads or subscriptions? Apple doesn't ban P2P networking as a whole, just file sharing clients that are clearly meant for facilitating piracy. But what about the poor monopolists?
How will their great great grandchildren get paid royalties? I won't pay a cent for youtube lol. Not a chance. I already pay Google hundreds of dollars for Google Photos.
If you're willing to pay the performance cost and the extra expense, the Fairphone is the most open smartphone running Android I know. There are some Linux phones, but app support is severely limited as is performance. It's repairable too, with guaranteed access to replacement parts for at predetermined amount of years through official channels.
An example would be a flag ship phone from last year that received official LOS support. Installing LOS requires some messing around with an installation guide, but it's one of the easiest methods to de-google and de-apple yourself.
I suppose you could also achieve that by buying Huawei, but I'm not sure if that would be a good idea. Do note that compatibility is not perfect, though it works well for most use cases. If you're willing to go the extra extra mile, you can root your phone through Magisk and install all kinds of things to customize and alter your phone.
I use it for enabling clipboard access to KDE connect from the background despite Android's limitations, and to install YouTube Vanced, a nodded YouTube app with all the premium features and no ads. GhettoComputers 18 days ago root parent next [—]. The Samsung s10e has good specs, good hardware and headphones. In magisk I have force enable dark mode to save power on oled. I think the Fairphone is the most open Android device out there, which is kind of sad really.
And yes you definitely overpay for the privilege of buying a phone with replaceable parts from a small manufacturer. If you're going for open hardware, Samsung is a rather odd choice. Then again, any Android phone is more open than iPhones are. GhettoComputers 13 days ago root parent next [—]. What makes android hardware more "open"? Software support is more important rather than open design, like the market for aftermarket for iPhone batteries is going to be much cheaper for them, so maintenance is cheaper, and because of project treble all newer Android phones will have mainline linux kernel support and have updated kernels, I don't see how Fairphone is more "open" compared to the alternatives or what you can do better when the volume of developers will matter for support more.
What is it that doesn't work with MicroG? Anything safety net-related, for one. When I tried it last years ago , WhatsApp didn't work reliably. I think Signal worked well enough though. The comments seem to go on for up to quite recently, however. Not sure why you're getting downvoted. I'm sick of ads too. I simply can't fathom how anyone could possibly tolerate ads. Android is not truly open. Google is closing it little by little. Soon rooted phones with custom software will start failing hardware attestation and Android apps will refuse to work.
I seriously hope the pinephone takes off. We need some serious alternatives to this Google garden. Fuchsia might change it by being a different OS though. I agree that the pinephone hardware specifications are quite underwhelming. I wish the top of the line phones had mainline Linux support Mikeb85 18 days ago parent prev next [—]. I'd go with a Pixel phone. Samsung phones are great too but a bit of extra software you probably don't need that takes up space. Any Android phone is 'mostly open' in the sense you can sideload apps super easily.
Google apps are functional. There's some 'truly open' options out there but they're typically expensive for the specs and the included apps are less useful than Google apps.
And you'd be supporting creators. Bluecobra 19 days ago parent prev next [—]. Oracle has a free tier with a generous bandwidth cap. Youtube vanced on android has changed my life. No ads, even within videos! If Linus starts talking about how great dbrand skins are, it auto-skips that part of the video. Really amazing. You cannot get such a great experience even if you pay for youtube red. I installed it on my family's s21 and pixel 4. Easy install, no need for root.
Vanced comes with adblock and sponsorblock, this is exactly what I was looking for thanks! Now I need an android device What Is svchost.
