there is a fork with proprietary dependencies removed called Signal-FOSS, whose repo you can add to F-Droid if you decide to trust it

Alright boys, I've been converted to the light side and have installed F-Droid. Now what?

Basically title. I waited on installing F droid for a long time because my phone threw many scary warnings when I tried a long time ago. But now I have it, and I got some fossify apps, but since there is no "Editor's Picks" on F- droid I dont really know where to go from here....

isn't Izzy's full of closed source stuff?

what "stuff" are you talking about?

if you want to do some pirating you need a decent VPN, like Mullvad or Proton, that you run on your system (Android/Linux/Windows/iOS), not some random leaky and dubious browser add-on

dunno why dafuq you're mentioning configuring a webserver (with SWAG) to point the DNS records (A and CNAME). the VPN will act as a proxy for you. but maybe i'm just way out of my depth here...

it might help if first you tell us what exactly are tou trying to achieve

yeah on Newpipe videos load fine. thanks to your comment I noticed Freetube is giving me an error with local API, so that's why

damn, even with seeing the bot around here i forgot to try Piped these days

anyway, i've found a solution - i had "proxy videos through Invidious" turned on on Freetube (which was redundant since i'm behind a VPN). i've unchecked it and things seem fime now

still, thank you

thanks everyone for the feedback. while unaware, I was still using Invidious in Freetube through the setting "Proxy videos through Invidious". it's turned off now and working fine

how can i find such "obscure" instances, tho? i've always picked one from the Invidious' website public list and, upon testing, all of them seem slow right now

also, I had forgotten to try Piped, which is working fine

on a side note, I'd never understood why Piped was made, given that Invidious exists, but here it is, in case anyone wants to know

i really don't think so. i hope it will be so in the future

i've worked at a call center years ago on the retentions dep. of some mobile internet provider. after learning of such trickery, i'll fucking tell everyone that will listen "hey mate, you've got a internet/telephone/cable tv subscription? are you in the "fidelity" period? (yeah that shit is a thing here...) ok so listen, AS SOON AS a second passes from the end of the period, this is how you get the actual decent price for service..."

some people had to stop me on my track several times because i was repeating myself to them (forgot who i'd already told about it) because i must make sure everyone knows

been doing it all these years

i've been using it to support friends and works very well, the weird part is that i have access to those computers at anytime if they're on, without settings available to require the user's permission! it seems quite invasive. because of this i have instructed them to block/remove it until it's needed again

before this, what would people use to access Windows desktops from Linux? i know about VNC but didn't find a client for both
