I have a small camera (a little smaller than a phone) that can do photos and videos.
The phone will be powered off before leaving the house and only turned on if absolutely needed to make a call. Hopefully that’s enough for no GPS/cell tower tracking, right? Don’t need to wrap it in foil?
There are so many options. If you’re looking for a free and open source wiki-style setup, a couple I haven’t seen mentioned in the thread yet are Zim Desktop Wiki and Feather wiki (hmm looks like their web certificate is expired at the moment)
I’m watching Freetube right now, still working. v0.23.3
The external player thing has never worked for me, at least when I set it to VLC, which just displays an error. I must be missing something.
Edit: thanks for the replies, next time I’ll try mpv and/or haruna
It’s happening to me, too. No VPN. They always fix issues like this pretty quickly (couple days or so). It’s always a constant battle to handle youtube’s ongoing attempts to block them.
I’ll check and see if I can do that with this one!
I should have thought of that. Thanks! Ironically, I have a very old lead-acid UPS in the basement that I’ve been kind of afraid to plug in again after all this time.
Why removing the battery? I was thinking that could be one good thing about using a laptop is that in a way it has its own UPS.
I just installed Librewolf today, using it now. Being a fork of FF it makes a very smooth transition.
Yep after all that’s how musk did it by using trump as the symbolic figurehead
FreeTube is great! I’ll wait for the normal release which is soon enough for me–when these things happen I just check it every so often, knowing they’ll figure out how to fix it like they always do.
I doubt they even know there’s anything other than gmail.
That’s exactly what I did, lol. Kbin seemed intriguing but didn’t last. I did try to look and get an idea about different lemmy instances but found very little info about any of them except for the 2 or 3 “infamous” ones, so I just went with .world, which seems fine to me.
Sorry, that’s more than one sentence.
person you’re saying that to: “So much words, very explaining!” runs away
Has software usage really gotten to the point where the average person can’t handle being given a choice about anything? Where it’s just too much effort to do anything more than mindlessly click on whatever is presented to them? 🤦
That life is fair.

There is something like that on most Mastodon pages where if you are viewing it just in your browser rather than from within your mastodon account, you can click Follow and it will ask for the server name you want to follow it from, so you have to enter your server name, then it will auto-open it in your Mastodon account for you.
I don’t know that there’s much more anyone could do than that, since any given server you are viewing has no idea what various fedi accounts you may have. That’s kind of what “decentralized” means–there’s no central database keeping track of all your accounts.
I think it’s ironic that the alternatives to Android (graphene, calyx) only fully work on Google phones.
