I forgot to mention these in my previous comment but I’ve added some information about the app in my post. As for that app that you mentioned, I’ve never used ADB commands before and I don’t want to risk bricking my phone, so I don’t know if I’m going to use it.
It’s not the account that I’m worried about. It’s hard for me to explain what I’m actually concerned about. I guess an example would be that the SIM card becomes invalid or something. One of the phones where I disabled Mobile Services has an effectively permanent error at the top of the screen that says “invalid SIM card”.
Yes but it’s still possible and I have yet to see someone mention that they were able to disable it and still use their phone service.
I would try but I don’t want to disable something if I don’t know for sure that it’s safe to disable.
I’d try that but I don’t want to end up finding out that disabling it permanently disables my phone’s service. My phone’s service is through Tracfone and they are the developers of the app.
Ok I figured out that you don’t actually have to setup Shizuku to use Canta. The only problem is that Canta doesn’t provide a description for Mobile Services. It just provides the package name, which I searched for online, but the only thing I can find is that it’s specific to Tracfone devices.
I actually can’t uninstall it but I just using my phone’s settings app and either remove or disable it depending on what that phone allows me to do. Canta seems pretty complicated to use but I’ll try it and see what it tells me.
I’ve been using Fennec F-Droid, which is based on Firefox. I mostly use it because I want a non-chromium based browser and Firefox and it’s derivatives have browser extensions on android. I chose Fennec F-Droid because, while I could be wrong, it seems to be slightly smaller and run slightly faster than Firefox.
The thing that I don’t understand is that, if this is such a big problem for Microsoft, why not just remove the system requirements or at least make an alternative version of Windows 11 that, even if it lacks certain features, doesn’t have those requirements?
Microsoft wants people to switch to Windows 11 but a majority stay with Windows 10 because their systems don’t have what’s required and they’re either not willing to use Linux or they can’t for what ever their reason is. Making Windows 11 more accessible to Windows 10 users would fix this problem for most users but they’re not for some reason. I know they’re Microsoft and Microsoft doesn’t care about their users but they’re seemingly willing to lose a significant portion of their users over something so insignificant, which is out of character for Microsoft.
It seems like I can’t even use it anyways, lol. I’m using Linux Mint and the software required to build it is outdated.
If the issue is with the DE, I’m actually using the Xfce edition of Linux Mint. I would just use VLC but it gives me performance issues because I don’t have the best hardware and mpv seems to work much more efficiently. But yeah, changing the audio output fixed this issue, I’m guessing the flatpak version of mpv defaults to pipewire. I was curious and I did test pipewire with both versions and I got the same results that they did.
Am I missing something here? I thought X/Twitter always allowed NSFW content.
I know it’s been a while but I tried the flatpak version of mpv and it’s not working. If I open the flatpak version without any music it opens but it becomes unresponsive as soon as I try to load any music. I also have no idea how to diagnose this issue as running the flatpak version in the terminal gives no error messages.
The version that comes with Linux Mint works perfectly fine, so I don’t need the flatpak version, I’m just curious as to why the flatpak version doesn’t work.
I might try that later because, like I said earlier, I got the version of MPV that’s already installed to play YouTube videos and that fine for me. I also made configurations to the preinstalled version and I don’t know if it would be easy, or even possible, to transfer them to the flatpak version.
Well, while MPV might be outdated, I already mentioned that I was able to get YouTube videos working by downloading a newer version of yt-dlp and creating a conf file for MPV that links to it. While I was looking into the problem, the versions available in apt for all three of these are outdated by at least a year, possible 3 years for MPV. I’m not sure if this is just a Linux Mint issue but I have noticed that a lot of the software both preinstalled and available in it’s repository, are pretty outdated.
I might try downloading the newer versions of these later. I got MPV working and that’s good enough for me right now.
I got YouTube videos working in MPV. While I have no idea if the way I did it was technically not correct, all I did was download the newest version of yt-dlp from github and created a file name mpv.conf which links to the yt-dlp python file. I was also able to set a preferred resolution using that conf file.
VLC still gives me the same error message.
For MPV, it gives me the following error message:
`mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3e9_l2oGxdw [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] 3e9_l2oGxdw: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred Failed to recognize file format.
Exiting… (Errors when loading file) `
I just tried that and it’s not working for me. MPV just closes itself and VLC gives me an error message. Do I need to do more that just drag and drop the URL?
Doesn’t this violate HIPAA, or does HIPAA not cover this?
I would consider doing that but I’d rather not have to go through the process of re-downloading all my apps and re-customizing my phone just because I disabled a potentially important app.
