  • Tubular, a fork of NewPipe with SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike integration! Use it all the time lol, probably too much

  • The joke is they're in the back of a cop car, not in an uber

  • Playing via Proton is absolutely fine! It's what is recommended actually!

  • I've not heard of ironfox before this thread! Could you possibly link it? Doesn't seem like it's on FDroid or IzzyOnDroid

  • I personally use Cinnamon, which has a similar feeling to Win10. Very satisfied with it on my desktop. From what I've heard XFCE also feels similar to Windows, but I simply have just used Cinnamon ¯(ツ)_/¯

  • Release v0.4.1 · florisboard/florisboard

    Jump

  • HeliBoard is a good foss option that has autocorrect and stuff! You can also give it swipe typing by supplying your own proprietary blob, so that's neat. Better than using a non-foss keyboard!

  • My move to Linux

    Jump

  • If you absolutely need functionality of some Windows only applications on Linux, it's a bit clunky, but a solution exists to use a VM to integrate the Windows apps into your Linux environment. It's called winapps, and I use it to run the latest version of Excel, which I do need for some things. Here's their GitHub: https://github.com/Fmstrat/winapps

  • Google Messages Alternative

    Jump

  • QUIK is a more up-to-date version of QKSMS. Not the most important thing ever, since SMS/MMS are inherently insecure, but it's just good to always make sure you have up-to-date versions of things.

  • Google Messages Alternative

    Jump

  • It depends on what exactly you're looking for in a messenger. If you are able to get people onto a specific platform, go with something like Signal, that's your best case scenario.

    If you're unable to do that though, and need SMS/MMS, you have options. QUIK is an app I highly recommend for SMS and MMS. The big downside, however, is that RCS is seemingly exclusive to Google Messenger on Android. If you want to use RCS, you're kind of stuck unfortunately.

    To minimize needing to use it, you could buy an old iPhone, jailbreak it, and try and set up Beeper Mini on an android device. That's what I do at least, which helps quite a bit. It's finicky and just not perfect, but it's better than just using SMS/MMS.

    Hopefully this comment covers your use case and you're able to get some useful info out of it.

  • Pros and cons for an extra phone number (dual Sim)

    Jump

  • Getting another number helps a lot in my opinion. If you're getting another sim in the same phone, I suppose it would be possible for whatever cell carrier is providing the service to be able to link your two sim cards to your identity. However, for other companies, I don't know of a way they could gather that your second sim phone number is linked to your first one. For instance, if you created two Discord accounts with your two phone numbers, you could theoretically be two completely different users that won't be linked together. I would personally go for a second number.

  • Some DNS questions

  • Any well-established Lemmy instances that publicly allow posting from VPNs?

    Jump

  • Have never had a problem using a VPN with programming.dev

  • Need Help Bypassing Firewall Restrictions at My School

    Jump

  • I'm aware of a network that blocks Mullvad as well, but found a way around it. It went through just fine if I was using a custom DNS server. I used NextDNS for this, but I imagine it would work with Cloudflare or something as well (but I highly recommend NextDNS anyways). Hope this helps!

  • Youtube Front-End that supports >1440p?

    Jump

  • Ah, understood. I'm unaware of any clients for Linux that would do what you're asking for. You could try using Anbox to run android apps and use the android solutions I've recommended in my last comment through that, but that's all I've got. Good luck!

  • Youtube Front-End that supports >1440p?

    Jump

  • Using Tubular here, which supports up to 2160p! Assuming the creator uploads at that resolution, of course. It's a fork of NewPipe, so NewPipe would probably allow for 1440p and 2160p as well, as well as any other fork of NewPipe (such as NewPipe X).

  • What vm software you use on linux

    Jump

  • I use virt-manager, aka Virtual Machine Manager. Using this specifically because of the winapps for Linux repo has instructions on how to get Windows apps to run through the VM to be integrated in a Linux environment.

  • Understanding YouTube Frontend Options

    Jump

  • I'm unsure as to what info is sent other than your IP with Newpipe, but you're correct that it will get a VPN address instead. Commenting to suggest a fork of Newpipe known as Tubular. Has SponsorBlock and Return YouTube Dislike functionality!
