PewDiePie: I'm DONE with Google
-
Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?
-
Same reason it continually sucks to get a working Linux build on an apple laptop or desktop.
As bad as Google is, they're lightyears ahead of Apple in terms of protecting their products in a walled garden.
Really? What's your favorite custom ROM for modern iPhones?
-
I think it's ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
LineageOS works on a bunch of non google phones

Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won't make the full jump.
Other than that, they'll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

My own domain?!? Any suggestions??
Get something on .com or .net. Vanity tlds will piss off reputation services. And make sure you set up spf/dkim

I've never investigated for iPhones but would be curious
- if they exist
- how bloody hard they are to get going
I can only speak for laptops/desktops and it being a bitch.
There's a reason I'm very adamant at hating Apple for a multitude of technical reasons. This is but one of them. It's a shame too because their build quality is really S-Tier.

I would get a Nokia flip phone but they cost a bit. Cheaper to get something someone is throwing out

You can save quite a bit by getting a refurbished Pixel - looks like the cheapest "Google certified" option (so it comes with a 1-year warranty) is a 6a for $250, which is nearly half off MSRP. I've been using my 6a since launch, so it's been going for 3 years now and I have no desire to upgrade.
You can definitely get cheaper smartphones, but $250 for a 6a feels like a pretty big bang for your buck.
I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.
I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months
Not to trade in after 24.
It's mine. For 5$ a month.
When I received it I didn't turn it on for a week.
Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.
It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.

Just block his name, I have trump and Elon and varations of their names black listed so posts with them don't show up on my feed.
i have filters with elon musk, zuckerberg &c
pewdeewhatever posts appeared in the last couple of days

Throwing it out there - I am tired of left always acting as if something done decade ago was still fresh. Pewds changed, he flipped his whole video formula, and even back then evil things he did were at least questionable. Let it go folks. You are doing nothing else than making yourself look like bitter old people.
Edit: I noticed it's not obvious what I am talking about. Other comments. People constantly talking about how Pewds is a nazi.
People on Lemmy really just suck. So much snobby negativity

Thise are just different flavors. I need a pixel 8 pro xl equivalent device that runs linux natively. All thw postmarket phones are ancientx
-
Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.
Its decent except google amdoid aosp policy changes are screwing it over
-
Writing this from a degoogled Pixel 4a bought second hand for 80 bucks a couple years ago. Great camera, enough storage, fingerprint sensor, headphone jack, fits in hand and pocket. This thing is close to perfect, new phones are scam.
Where did you get it?

Thats what Felix said, im personally a fan of OrganicMaps

For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness
-
Your own domain, but you're safer not hosting your own email servers in general. Just wanted to be clear for anyone reading this. If your mail server is down you don't get mail ðŸ«
I ended up using a service that isn't Google for that with my own domain
And soft lock yourself… log in to the DNS portal you need 2FA from your email… while your email is having DNS issues lol

Exactly!

Yeah, part of why I want to get one soon is to have a semi recent phone before they can't do graphene properly anymore
-
Even just mirroring.
Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven't uploaded a video since like the 10s
This is the first time I have seen someone reference the decade as the 10’s and I feel weird about it.
The 20’s last century seemed cooler.

The entire thesis of that video was "fiver and things like that lead to exploitation of the global poor", the sign thing was just a catchy clickbait thing.
Can you write here what was in that sign? That catch clickbaity thing that Felix ordered?
