Try ViMusic

It wasn’t good. Used it a few times and I really didn’t like it.

PocketCasts and AntennaPod are wayy better

Yeah I guess so. YTM sucked ass when it came out. But now I would say it’s better than Spotify.

Google isn’t hosting the podcasts.

Most of them are hosted by a service offered by Spotify.

Not as far as I know. You would have to use a desktop client that syncs with gPodder… like gPodder

Every podcast does that.

Also they host many podcasts and have their own advertising service which can insert ads dynamic ads into the podcast from which the Podcaster is profiting too

So it actually does pay the creators.

I for example subscribed to Darknet Diaries on Patreon and the bonus episodes do work.

I don’t listen to more premium podcasts. I just hate that you can’t manually update the URL so far.

Also the “time listed” stats on AntennaPod are way superior, but PocketCats syncs between devices and has a web/desktop client.

That just seams like normal P2P behavior

PocketCast is also OpenSource. Today I switched over and it’s also pretty good.

I honestly can’t really decide which one I find better. Try them out for yourself.

PocketCast?

Why? There are so many better podcast player out there

You could listen to an epsiode on YouTube then pause and listen to it on YouTube music.

Would the UI also change depending on content played to expose the controls specialized for each type of media?

They already kinda do that on YouTube (with YouTube premium). When you watch a music video, you have music controls in the normal YouTube app and a button to switch to YouTube music

Tbh, they should rather make a new app called "YouTube Podcasts)

Youtube is basically their entertainment brand. So that really doesn’t make sense.

Google podcast is an awful app (also it was pretty expected that they will kill Google podcasts and replace it with YouTube music since that was hinted in the last few years)

I actually don’t think it’s a bad decision. I think merging it with YouTube is a good thing. They could integrate tightly with YouTube since they already added a “podcast” feature and you could seemlessly switch between Video and Audio.

Sooner or later I expected that to happen.

Finally. That’s exactly what I expected. The app hasn’t been updated for years, they removed the Google podcast widget on the Google search and added a “Podcast” category to YouTube.

It depends on the pre order bonus and I might actually get it.

I just also really hope the battery rumors are true and it actually does have 4500mAh

Local residents had repeatedly contacted Google to have them change their online maps after the bridge collapsed in 2013

You don’t

But that needs to be built in to it on a hardware level. Sure the cell towers know where you are though

That’s why on Android, apps have to request the location permission to have access to Bluetooth, WiFi and cellular networks and their signal strengths. No app has that information unless you explicitly allow it

Sandboxed Google play service is actually more secure than MicroG.

it also has a Google Services compatibility that would allow you to use Google services, which would allow Google to harvest a lot of data from you

So does MicroG. Actually that’s kind of the point of both. Google play services exist to provide, well, Google play services like push notification which uses the Google servers. That’s the case with Sandboxed Google play and GrapheneOS.

OSes like CalyxOS or Lineage have microG

Yes. Pre-installed. That’s kind of a problem if you don’t want to use them in a specific profile. Also it’s quite a security issue since it needs signature spoofing to work which is insecure by definition.

has the ability to use Mozilla network location to stop google from getting that data

That alone doesn’t stop Google from getting your location data. Only not giving the your location data does this. On GrapheneOS you do this by… not enabling the location permission for any Google services including the play services.

Also by default GrapheneOS already uses GrapheneOS servers for location data and you can set your own proxy in the location settings

That’s basically everything about it. Yes, battery life is an issue on GrapheneOS with sandboxed Google play service, but well, at least it just has the permissions of a normal app. Not a privileged system app that pretends to be another app to work.

Bing should just stop pushing their intrusive ads, news and browser and they would actually be quite good

Actually it makes fun of a site called techrights and shows how absurd the site is.

Exactly. They own the game.

Let’s plays are derivitive work. They legaly can do whatever they want with it.

Mojang also already DMCA’d people: https://youtu.be/9ARAhvFEA3s

Bitcoin is traceable. It’s even more transparent than a bank account. Everyone can see how much money “you” have and where you spend it.

What’s the difference between a passkey and a security key?

Edit: ohh, it’s passwordless. I won’t do this for my Google account. Github: maybe. but not Google

It doesn’t have every feature yet

Actually that’s not the original SD maid. It’s by the same dev though

TikTok revanced already exists. I’m using it

TikTok revanced

I compared the image quality of both of them and gcam is clearly better. The image is way sharper and generally makes better quality images

It’s worse in dark or bright lights

Nope. I use gcam because the GOS camera app is trash

I’m not though

Why not GrapheneOS

Well it’s FOSS and other models/programs explicitly try to block porn. So of cause people make porn with SD

Unstable Diffusion describes an experimental version of SD

Yes… If you pay $20 a month

Everything’s more expensive so people are less willing to pay more since they simply not have the money
