That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t regulate predatory practices. Many video games are built on social media and gambling models designed with intentionally addictive features. In not talking about fun features, I’m talking about addictive features. There are panels at game designer conferences you can listen to about this stuff.

TIL, that’s a great tip! cheers

I replaced the YouTube app on my SO’s phone with a Brave Browser YouTube link (Brave includes both features out of the box) because having to sit through ads when they wanted to show me a video was driving me nuts…

I use Firefox because of tamper monkey, buy Brave is my go to easy solution for friends so I don’t have to explain about installing extras.

On Android just use Brave browser and turn on the setting to allow tabs to play media in the background. Opera does the same thing.

Not sure what iOS options there are.

Seriously email your IT and/or privacy team at the university level. I work at a university and that would be removed ASAP for sharing PII. If you’re in the US or UK it’s a major violation of your privacy. Unfortunately most IT offices aren’t involved in many of the decisions and many of the people making those decisions are complete ignorant to the situation.

I’m not mad, I just prefer open source software that doesn’t collect my data. What are your favorite things about sync that I can’t get with Jereboa?

What keyboard bug? I haven’t run into it, and I’ve been using it for months.

It’s crazy to me how small the Jereboa usage is. It didn’t collect or share data and has a great interface. What are these other apps giving that makes you want to use them? Genuinely curious on what I’m missing out on.
