They’re effectively dead. I haven’t ever found a single instance that works for more than a few days in years, despite people constantly recommending them.

That’s a YouTube/VPN thing. Every other app is experiencing the same issue, in my experience.

That’s not GrayJay. That’s YT. They’ve started blocking access to users who use a VPN without logging in.

God forbid they don’t know everything about you.

Edit: response from FUTO

Seems to be related to UMP streams and we have issue opened for it and it’s top priority for us to fix this now. It is however very complex so it takes time to fix it but at least we figured out why it is happening and once it is fixed it should be a smooth experience on Youtube at least for a while until they change something else on their backend…

Organizing a protest on a platform that not only stores all your data in plaintext but also sells it to advertisers and AI companies seems like a shit move.

Do you support automated posting from RSS feeds?

If I’m honest, it’s not convenient either. I stopped using it years ago because I kept getting logged out of my accounts and flagged for “automated activity”. Plus they straight up lie about supporting SMS and RCS. The only “support” they have is connecting it to your Google account.

Theoretically no, all of your messages stored on Beeper servers are encrypted. But they will get all your metadata.

But I wouldn’t worry about that anyway since Discord not only has access to all of your messages but sells them to companies to process for AI. So that’d be the far easier and faster route for them.

Not only is it possible, but people are already doing it.

Depends if you consider Signal “popular”, because based on your own link, the only information they provide is:

No message content., Date and time a user registered. Last date of a user’s connectivity to the service.

There’s privacy and then there’s user experience. UX on Matrix is awful. Not to mention Matrix collects all the metadata, and the vast majority of it sits on a single server (matrix.org), which is owned by a private company and subject to subpoenas.

I did read and didn’t see anything about archiving pages.

Why wouldn’t I just use the bookmark manager in my browser?

Pixel 4, for one

There’s a Frigate app within Home Assistant.

Not necessarily, some of them do. Probably not enough to warrant developing an app for it though.

It’s not. That’s what the OP and the comment you replied to were trying to tell you.

They explained why in the comment you replied to.

Not having lots of SKUs and a user-managed OS is kinda what the console experience is about.

I dunno what a “user managed OS” means. There’s no reason MS couldn’t port the exact same experience, considering current and past XBOXes are both built on x86.

As far as SKUs, I agree, but that’s only part of the console experience. The rest of it is a controller-first interface and streamlined processing. The various SKUs is also what attracts so many people to PC gaming, and in case you haven’t noticed, it is an incredibly quickly-growing segment.

I’m gonna refer you back to the original post.
