Whaaaaat the fuck?
I had no fucking idea of this. I've been seen "removed" used more and more on the last months and I just thought people speak weird online nowadays.
My lemmy.lm instance has been censoring content that I see without me knowing it?
Fuck this shit, I'm going to look for another instance right now. One that treats me like an adult who wants to see what other people type so I can decide MYSELF if someone is an asshole for using certain language
It's not absurd at all. They know the IPs, they know those devices use the same network, and they also know where they are located pretty accurately: the Google Street View cars also scan for WiFi networks and map them to their location.
2 devices consistently connected to the same router, to the same network, in the same place... must belong to the same person or to 2 people sharing a home. If cookies set by other websites and seen by Google show similar browsing habits, it's probably the same person.
You just mentioned 2 different Google accounts: if your devices are connected to Google accounts they are already getting a lot of information from you that way, and Google knows that those 2 accounts are related.
I'm not sure that's a great idea. I understand wanting to avoid the hassle of reinstalling Mull and having to go through all the Settings again (I just did that a couple of days ago), so if you want to keep your current F-Droid Mull install I'd recommend installing another updated flavour of Firefox, like Fennec or Iceraven, using FFUpdater (https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/) and using that one until the updated Mull is pushed to the F-Droid official repository.
Good to know. Thanks. I have my music in my server, which runs Jellyfin and Navidrome on Docker...
Would it make sense to install it on Docker too or would it be OK install it on my computer and then have it check the music oh my server over NFS?
I guess this isn't what you want to hear... but like others here I'd recommend you organise and tag your music properly. Then software like Jellyfin or Navidrome should work properly.
I use MusicBrainz Picard and have seen people recommend https://beets.io/, which I still haven't looked into.
+1 for Finamp beta. It is great and under active development.
You can get the latest version here: https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp/releases/tag/0.9.11-beta
Mmmm, did you try the latest beta or the stable version?
The stable version is quite outdated and download doesn't work great there. With the beta version (0.9.11) I'm able to download full albums, full artists or individual songs. I'm very happy with it. I'd recommend you give it another a try if you have time.
If you're interested in an alternative to Gelli, check Finamp (https://github.com/jmshrv/finamp): it is a Jellyfin client for Android that can also download music to play offline. Try the latest beta version, it is way ahead the stable version and works perfectly for me as a daily driver.
Yes, there are efforts to build these two and more apps affected by the issue preventing updates to be built
The issue preventing updates should be resolved soon thanks to @linsui fixing it!

You're probably getting your Mull updates via the DivestOS repository, not the official F-Droid repository.
You can download an updated version of Mull with the security issue fixed, from the DivestOS F-Droid repository: https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/. If you currently have the F-Droid version of Mull installed you will need to uninstall it first.
There was a critical vulnerability found on Firefox some days ago: CVE-2024-9680. Fennec and Mull are forks of Firefox. They both fixed this issue already in their source code, BUT there is a problem preventing F-Droid from building these updated, fixed versions.
In the case of Mull, you can download the updated version from the DivestOS F-Droid repository: https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/, but if you are currently using the F-Droid version you will need to uninstall it first, since they have different signatures.
Then look for a phone that supports CalyxOS, DivestOS, iodéOS... unlike GrapheneOS they support more models than just Pixels.
Glad that I could help. If you need help with setting the custom DNS or choosing which domains to block feel free to ask me here.
The app has not been updated in long time, but the database is still updating daily for me, and the app still works on Android 14. Can't tell it will continue working in the future...
Google is not killing uBlock Origin, it is making its Chrome browser even less user friendly. Just use Firefox or a Firefox fork.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I think my experience could be relevant.
I have a MiBox TV S 4K, which as far as I know runs pretty pure AndroidTV (but I might be wrong). This is still going to try to connect to Google and Xiaomi servers for tracking and ads... but I have set up a custom DNS blocking trackers and ads.
I found this Reddit post and followed the instructions to change the DNS server on the MiBox to NextDNS, where I could later activate relevant blocklists (SmartTV, Xiaomi, Google). I also perform monitoring of the domains the MiBox connects to and have blocked a couple manually.
Finally, for AndroidTV forget about NewPipe and use SmartTube. It's the same idea, but optimised for the AndroidTV experience where you have a remote and not a touchscreen.
Other OSs let you lock the bootloader too. I know that iodéOS and CalyxOS do, for example.
