Yes, and there are probably other FOSS applications for that as well.
But it is a bit sad to see that Google considers the “phone” part of the “smartphone” be so obscure functionality that they left it’s development to community.
Maybe I should stop living in the past and just accept that the glowing rectangle that we carry around is actually a tiktok machine that can occasionally do some other stuff as well.
this is what open source dialer app died for?
Problem is that the whole concept of advertising is “telling other people what to do”.
RSS is freedom
go tell other people to use it
also Lemmy RSS community
Your post is missing the most important information that you wanted to share
sup dawg, heard you like advertisments
GotHub seems to display basic GitHub stuff decently well.

ah, I checked again, it works fine for me now as well
that’s what I have
I want the effort that would otherwise go into making camera even better to go into making other aspects of phone better. Figure me out a better battery instead, give me more features that make my phone capable of doing tasks that can currently be done only on computer, stuff like that.
you are correct, I do
didn’t read the article because it wants me to disable adblock
but wow, the title really triggers me
do normalfriends really do nothing else besides take pictures and videos with their phones?

so this is similar to LibRedirect?
https://github.com/libredirect/browser_extension
https://libredirect.github.io/
check out this list of privacy frontends and see if you can implement any of them in Predirect
Also, I see that you only handle one instance for redirect. Either the default instance or custom instance.
Consider implementing multiple instances.
Here is list of instances that LibRedirect uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libredirect/instances/main/data.json
Here is a list of instances that Farside.link uses:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/farside/master/services-full.json
Both LibRedirect and Farside still have to deal with the rate-limiting problem with Youtube and Reddit and I assume other sites as well.
Invidious instance or Teddit instance can be rate-limited, resulting in video not playing or post not showing up.
If your extension does not distribute user traffic across multiple instances, then I assume that your chosen instances will get hammered into ratelimit even faster than other instances.
So consider thinking about solution for this.
One of suggestions that I like is to allow user to provide an URL to a list of instances.
That way, someone or some automated system can periodically compose a list of instances and users can “subscribe” to that list.
Also some useful links:

which is why we need to support developers of custom ROMs who are giving us lightweight open source alternatives.
Is there any way we can help steer the direction of AOSP?
a cover of U2 - Elevation called Federation someone come up with the lyrics and proper instrumental cover so that we don’t trip copyright
gotta fail fast
I think that starting from the beginning on Lemmy is a great opportunity to make news communities make more sense.
Specifically, !worldnews should not exist.
It is a relic from Reddit that implies that !news is not for all news but just for news from some part of the world.
In my opinion, there should be effort put into making this community as inactive as possible. As that would be the result of people posting news from all over the world in !news.
we really want the TikTok audience
there is a bridge, but some parts of the fediverse got very mad about it
