LOOK WHO'S BACKKKKKK

September 23, 2023 • Sunday

Hello, I have returned (sort of). I'm feeling a lot better, my flares have died down so I was a little motivated.

I didn't do much today — I had guests over so I chiller with them for bit, then sat down to practice some UI building!

Im building a calculator and used the actual calculator of my phone as a reference and a little help from @asterisquue. Honestly, I think I did a pretty good job! (It took me 3 hours)

So after fighting for months to include an ad banner in the game I've made I suddenly realised that for a first time project it was...not worth it at all? :'D

Long story short:

I published Bomb di fé on itch.io

Ad free

It's a silly little text based game that I made to fiddle with phone input (like gyroscope and compass). I WAS going to publish it on google play but I made the mistake of submitting the ad version first, and now Google don't believe me when I try to say I removed ads from it TT even worse it won't let me delete the ad version I already submitted. So until I resolved that it's just available on itch.io

It's an android game, from what I tested it looks low-key ugly on tablet but still works :') small victories

I'm a beginner in app development, and I created this trashy notes app :) the colors are jarring because I was focusing more on functionality than appearance. This is pretty good for a beginner level ig?

so happy that the desktop dashboard view of a post sends you back in time so you can scroll from that post in situ android app style.  thanks @staff @support @engineering for doing it right at least some of the time! :p

My latest app has hit 50 downloads!

[dropoutdottv]

ATTN: Android Users

You may be aware of a new issue with the Dropout app where videos simply aren't displaying in series collections. There's a solve you can do now to fix the issue immediately: Uninstall the Dropout app on your device, and then reinstall it.

There will also be a new update arriving tomorrow to solve the issue for users who do not uninstall the app. Apologies again for the issues you've been experiencing - we're working with the dev team at Vimeo to make sure these issues do not happen again in the future.

can you tell us all the plugins / ad blockers you use

on desktop, uBlock Origin (NOT Adblock Plus! they sold out years ago! they literally take money from advertisers to make sure their ads get through their filters!) and SponsorBlock for Firefox. if you still see ads on youtube specifically check out this page. if it's green, then the problem is with your specific installation and you should check out this reddit megathread. if it's red, then tough luck, wait a few hours for uBlock's crack team of hackers to catch back up in their constant arms race with Youtube.

for Android, get ReVanced Manager from here and use that + an .apk download of the latest Youtube release (just google "youtube apk") to patch yourself together a version of the Youtube app that acts like you paid for Advanced even though you didn't, which means no ads. also, side tangent, that's where the name comes from: originally it was just "Youtube Vanced" because it was "Advanced" without the "ad"s. then the Vanced team got slapped with a C&D for being dumbasses and minting NFTs of the Vanced logo, which was literally just the Youtube logo, so ReVanced rose from the ashes to continue its legacy. oh also there are a shitload of boxes you can check off during the patching process and one of them just integrates Sponsorblock for you, so that's nice.

i should also mention here, for no reason in particular, that the Vanced Manager app lets you patch a number of other apps in the same way, removing ads and adding "premium" features without you having to pay. one of these apps may or may not be Tumblr itself.

as long as you're fucking with your Android, download xManager and use it to get ad-free Spotify without paying for it. iirc the app auto-downloads the apk for you but it's been months since i last fucked with it so i might be misremembering.

honorary mention goes to NewPipe for being a way easier to install alternative to all of the above if you don't care about logging in. it's an alternate frontend for youtube that lets you watch it ad-free right out of the box. the main drawbacks are that the UI is a little ugly (especially compared to the official/ReVanced version), you can't use Sponsorblock, and it doesn't sync with your Google account (this could be a plus for you if you're big into privacy but personally i like having my likes and watch history synced across desktop and mobile). although now that i just did some research to make sure i wasn't talking out my ass, it looks like the original dev is working on a forked version of the app named Tubular that does have Sponsorblock and is apparently trying to get google account stuff working, so that's cool. oh and it can also browse/play Soundcloud ad-free, if you still use Soundcloud in 2024

anyway I will say this: buy android phones. learn to mod android applications. learn android app dev and adb. use developer options to disallow ANY APPS from using your camera and mic without you knowing. use FOSS appstores like f-droid for better apps. learn networking and how your router works. put a DNS-based VPN filter on your phone or buy a raspberry pi and turn it into a pi-hole for your wi-fi network if you truly can't let go of apple. you will be happier with your mobile devices, at least.

apps are gonna keep tracking you whether you want them to or not. tos is going to wrap itself more and more into your data, digital footprint digital identity whatever. and if you care for your data and privacy (and you really, honestly should) you need to at least protect yourself from these kinds of things. it's only going to get worse. thanks.
