Yeah I got a MagSafe case and started using a MagSafe wallet I had from when I was on iPhone so I usually just use my physical cards now. Would be nice to not have to worry about forgetting my wallet but oh well.
I’m pretty much completely on FOSS now and really the only thing I miss, other than G Pay and compatibility with what other people use, is Google Maps, but Magic Earth is decent.
Congrats! I made the switch a few months ago and haven’t looked back. Highly recommend everyone switch to GrapheneOS, even if you still use Google Play Services or other Google apps (obviously trying to get away from those is always the right move but it isn’t that simple for most people)
Now just wish Google Pay or some other contactless payment could work with it…
The coconut crab is objectively one of the most terrifying creators on God’s green earth
Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about development lol. I might look into creating a piefed account though just for these feeds which look really cool
This looks really cool! Is there any way to follow/subscribe to these feeds with a lemmy.world account? I feel like I already have so many Fediverse accounts which kind of goes against the point of the Fediverse lol.
I still think it would be best to just have a “centralised” Peertube instance that can list videos from many other instances that users can sign up to and easily discover a large catalogue of content. The issue with a Mastodon style app is it could also show other random videos from Mastodon and short form videos from platforms like Loops, and those are two different media categories from Peertube/YouTube content in my mind.
I understand that Peertube isn’t trying to be YouTube, specifically from a monetization point of view. However I’m still looking for pretty much the same thing from Peertube as I do from YouTube; to watch interesting videos and follow creators. I get what you’re saying about the Fediverse being different and having benefits like choice, freedom, and control, and I appreciate that, but at the end of the day, just trying to consume content on Peertube right now isn’t a great experience.
As far as being able to watch without an account and interacting with a Mastodon or other federated account, I do think that’s great, but I go to Mastodon when I want to see text/photo posts. If I want video I would like to go to Peertube and find high quality videos I’m interested in. Plus searching for topics/hashtags like you mentioned will bring more than just video results, and again if I want video I’m usually looking on a video platform and if I want text/photos I’m looking on those platforms. Plus most Mastodon apps don’t have great video players so again it’s just not a great video consuming experience.
And honestly I wouldn’t mind a secondary algorithm feed that shows me videos I might be interested in. Obviously I don’t want the entire platform to be just that as that’s one of my biggest problems with traditional platforms. But a feed tuned to my interests that I can choose to check out would honestly be great in my opinion. Again obviously I would still want the default to be a “subscription” feed that only shows creators I’m subscribed to, but sometimes I want to be able to find new videos and creators.
Worst part of this is nuclear regulation really does need rewritten but this administration somehow finds the worst way to do everything.
I mean if creators are serious about switching to Peertube they can create their own instances hosted on Google servers no? And honestly while getting content on Peertube is a big problem it’s really only going to be solved when there’s also users there and Peertube in its current state is not very intuitive for new users.
As far as I know there’s nothing that works in the US
