More than "mildly infuriating", this is deeply depressing.

(And seeing TikTok two times there don't make things better...)

Well, at least the No. 1 spot is a trustworthy VPN.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 39 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah, but the other two... (And fucking TikTok there twice! TWICE!)

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

None of those apps are the official Ticktok app.

Honestly I would try to get most of your apps from F-droid. F-droid only has free and open source software which means it is typically much less sketchy.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)
  1. Yes, they are official TikToks apps
  2. I quit using Playstore apps a long time ago, F-Droid is my main source of apps. I just went to the list of successes of the Playstore to see if loops, the Fediverse TikTok alternative that just dropped, was on the list.

I wonder if people know why they are downloading and using a VPN. Especially when you're talking about the more sketchy ones.

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 25 points 6 months ago (2 children)

To avoid region locking. Anything else regarding security is just bogus talk they trying sell you.

Considering that there is a ton of censorship there I think they definitely know why.

Venezuela is one of those countries that just constantly seems to be in a bad state. I can't imagine living under a government that disrespects its people.

As it turns out unalienable rights are totally alienable

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It’s in a bad state now because of the sanctions placed upon it. It was in a bad state before because of capitalist rule.

For a colonial power, Spain was a real douchebag. The effects of that douchebaggery seem to have real staying power.

[–] rbesfe@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago (3 children)

There are plenty of other former Spanish colonies that are doing much better than Venezuela

Same as Florida... but for different reasons.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Oh yeah, I know why lol

[–] quixotic120@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Isn’t tiktok free? Why would you need a lite version. Is it for old phones that can’t run much?

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

Yes, is for old phones and such. A mutual told me the main app is bad optimized, and a lot of smartphone here are very VERY old. Mine have like 5 years or so, I think that's like 5 decades in more "develop" countries.

Third-world shenanigans, you know.

Is that because of the political situation? Like repression, internet censorship... Or an unrelated trend?

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago (13 children)

Yeah, is political. We can enter twitter (not that I care) and other sites.

Its a shame so many people are trying to go for Proton since they expressed support for a Trump pick

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I for one, while being as anti-trump as it gets, do not judge a company and their service based on the political view of an individual that works there. Yes there are some principle decisions that one can make but the software itself is good and the service they offer.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago

i mean andy doesnt just work there hes the literal ceo and 1/5th of the board

[–] teije9@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago

because of their incredible no logs policy. Its the best vpn according to piracy communities.

Proton VPN is one of the few great ones, along with Mullvad and Windscribe

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They just came out in support of the Republicans today, sadly.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They as Proton did not.

Their current CEO did.

Massive difference, this may be their personal opinion but surely it does not speak for the whole company.

[–] StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They shared this from the company account.

[–] Kekzkrieger@feddit.org 7 points 6 months ago

I did not realoze that, cancelling this shit now.
