I heard that accounts with genuine activity—that is, not created for the sole reason of using Aurora—aren’t targeted. However, I wouldn’t risk it XD
Google’s also rate limiting anonymous logins. It’s looking very bad.
This is a bummer. I actually used Aurora to download my paid apps. I would buy on the website and login on my degoogled phone. Now degoogled users will have to just pirate apps they want. So much for supporting small developers.
@arthur @Pantherina what’s wrong with just using F-Droid?
F-Droid is where I get 90% of the applications I need however banking and public transit apps are almost never open source. Once in a while I will buy a game or app that is developed does something that I can’t get from the community.
Always annoy your local infrastructure IT devs! It cant be that all these apps dont even have an FDroid repo. They can ship any binary they want its just if they actually want it!
You need other apps.
- banking
- public transport
- weird stuff
- vinted
- spotify
- some random good but not FOSS apps
- paid apps (which should actually not be a problem)
@Pantherina no, no you don’t. I will say I have been flaburgassted by the number of people on our free and federated network that advertise their love for the freedom denying survailance capitalist “service” of spotify. #FunkWhale4ever
I’m not familiar with Piped. I don’t know if your link won’t load because it uses some kind of non-free javascript that I have disabled on my machine, or if the services is just slow or what. I assume the video you reference is the same as this one accessed through invidious Aurora Users: Proceed with Caution!
Pipes is an Invidious instance. For some reason the only one supported for link sharing on Libretube
hmmm…so it’s some kind of fork from Invidious, and not just another instance.
@Pantherina any idea why I can’t access the Piped link? It just spins forever.
