I’ve been using OLauncher for years now, it is extremely simple and lightweight but it works for me.

Maybe he shoulda just stuck with the bird, or thought of a name that is even a tad more creative. I’m pretty sure a hamster or a piece of paper could do a better job at managing Twitter than Muskrat is right now.

It seems to me that recently, Big Tech CEOs have been searching for interesting and creative ways to utterly destroy their company with no chance to rebuild it. Maybe he is trying to do that? At this point, it seems to me like Elon is doing his best diligence to set money on fire and run Twitter into the ground.

Exactly, most headphones that I like are wired with an ordinary audio jack. I don’t really feel inclined to get new headphones for a new phone, and a phone without an audio jack just makes things more difficult for me.

That too! I just don’t use it myself because I find NewPipe works well enough for me. However, I should still try it out eventually to see if I’m missing anything big.

Don’t forget NewPipe for Android, Yattee for Apple devices, SmartTube for most Android TV boxes, Playlet for Roku, and Invidious for PC (if you don’t like Piped).

The only (usable) platform I can think of without a ad-free YouTube client is maybe webOS for LG TVs.

(some of these clients are also missing some features because they are new, but they should all be better for watching than the official app)

For those that use the Signal messenger, Langis is just Signal without Google Play services.

The official reddit app was crazy shit when I tried it 2 years ago. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to use it now.

Oh really? I never knew that. That makes it even better in my opinion, I spend too long trying to click in a semi-correct place before I highlight text.

FlorisBoard is wonderful in my opinion, there hasn’t been a release in a while but it has a pretty good design, and some useful features like arrow keys (only left and right) that you can enable. It’s been my favorite keyboars for a couple of years now.

I loved Infinity. Shame they aren’t moving it to Lemmy, and instead they’re making it a subscription.

I’ll give you a few from F-Droid (and maybe IzzyOnDroid too):

• Auxio is a pretty good lightweight music player
• NewPipe is an anonymous YouTube client without ads or tracking
• Obtanium is an app that allows you to auto-update apps from many sources like GitHub, GitLab, and F-Droid
• Bromite (use this repo instead of the out of date F-Droid version) is a hardened version of Chromium with features like ad blocking and less spyware Those are just a couple apps, there are a ton more on F-Droid. I reccomend using the Droid-ify client because it has more default repos and better UI.

Oh really? I need to add my apps to Obtainium then.

• NewPipe has made my YouTube watching experience way better; it’s a standalone app with features like ad blocking, subscriptions, and downloading.
• F-Droid (particularly the Droid-ify client) is an open-source app store that generally provides quality apps.
• Obtanium has helped me stay up to date with some of my more obscure apps, which are released only on Github. Obtanium can auto-update apps from a GitHub link or similar, which makes the process way easier.
• Auxio is a pretty good music player, it’s quite lightweight but it also looks good.

All of these are available on F-Droid, I find that many F-Droid apps provide a better or cleaner experience than Google Play apps.

+1 for Thunder, extremely fast loading times and great UI. It hasn’t crashed on me either, just some timeouts.

Plus, there are some really good F-Droid apps too, like Droid-ify (F-Droid client with smoother UI) and Obtainium (update apps automatically from a GitHub link).

There is Youtube Revanced which tries to continue an app like Vanced, but it’s a lot harder to install rhan Vanced.

A couple days ago I found a service called Farside, apparently you can replace youtube.com with farside.link/piped to redirect to a random smaller Piped instance. It works pretty well for me, although sometimes I just use il.ax because I’m just lazy and don’t want to type that much.

However, YouTube rate limits big Piped instances, so it’s better to use NewPipe or a small instance.

Piped (and similar projects like NewPipe, Invidious, and FreeTube) scrape YouTube instead of using an API; so just like Nitter, they won’t be affected by a paid API.
