Off topic but I guess it might be useful. YouTube channel RSS is https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id<channel_id>, or with gnu sed:

echo '<channel_url>' | sed 's|https://www//.youtube/.com/channel/|https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id|'

I currently self-host TypeType, which supports YouTube, BiliBilii and NicoNico, and is IMO a sister project of PipePipe for mobile.

In other words, you find the median of human attractiveness greater than the mean of it.

If you mean those ro.product.*, ro.system.*, ro.vendor.*, etc. and some other device identifiers, I think you can adjust many of them when compiling GrapheneOS yourself, which, however, requires a lot of storage and computational resources. If you mean the user agent HTTP header (and navigator object), there’s no such thing as a system wise UA since UA is to recognize the OS and browser combination, and the UA header can be spoofed with those user agent switcher extensions or, if you are advanced user and want fine control, Header Editor, which can be added to Android Firefox by visiting it with desktop enabled.

Aurora still works for me for now on Samsung stock OS. I now mostly install Google Play apps with APKPure over Obtainium tho and only use Aurora for those not on APKPure. And most of my apps are from GitHub/GitLab releases and F-Droid. I disabled Google Play and didn’t login to Google account. I don’t want the requirement of a Google account to install an app and Play Integrity to run an app. It is by no means acceptable that a company, using a closed source implementation that also tracks user and breaks Android security model, can censor what apps a user can install and decide what security and privacy compromises a user needs to agree to just use the normal phone functionalities that they pay for and by no mean require those compromises technically. They are turning Android into a service and a prison like iOS did rather than a software.

I selfhosted it on my phone and laptop. Great as a replacement of ILovePDF and those CLI tools that have no common interface (I could write some functions to make one tho).

Taiwanese here. No. And many white people look just resemblant for me in my small Asian eyes.

I came from Mastodon. I think Mastodon does have some good features that haven’t come to Lemmy such as account migration and bio sites verification, while Markdown and no word count limit in Lemmy excels Mastodon. Other difference are more due to the different nature of them, just like Twitter compared to Reddit, for example, more organizations, artists, developers, etc. post on Mastodon.

I think limiting from the platform is not a good option. For some teens with a horrible family (domestic violence for example), social media maybe the only shelter they could turn to. Also, those companies tend to break open web and require an account and even verification in the name of protecting child. DNS blacklist enforced by parents is probably a better option IMO.

Also ban Google. I think we should ban any schoolwork in required courses that requires students to agree to any third-party EULAs, such as Google account and Windows OS. For selective courses, considering the de facto status that many fields don’t have a mature enough open source software, banning is a bit exceeding proportionality IMHO. And offering Windows computer is probably ok as long as it’s not the default choice IMHO.

In my freshman year in the Electrical Engineering department, I took a required computer programming course, the course that I supposed it to be most aware of the existence of GNU/Linux, free format, and so on. However, it uses Google Sheets for homeworks and demands a Google Drive link of an exe for final team project and YouTube link for presentation. When they let students evaluate each other, I just got a bunch of exe, half of which doesn’t even open in Wine.

I also think they every school should offer NextCloud. Otherwise when team work occurs, Google Drive/Docs/Slides/Sheets is the de facto only choice.

BTW, I think LaTeX with git is more customizable and extensible and should be taught instead of teaching MS Office stuff. I actually take all my notes in LaTeX in a GitHub repo and do reproducible compilations.
