A simple network sniffer is enough to figure out what sites the app is connecting to, then you can just block them on the router.

If you are using Android, you can do that easily right on your phone with PCAPdroid, it's on the play store. No root required.

The idea of a non-profit holding sounds great, but what about collateral damage if shit really hit the fan? Would it not be smarter to have a separate entity for each platform? They could all have essentially the same statutes, boards, directors etc. etc., so in case if one really got under heavy fire, the others wouldn't be affected? I know it means more admin work and probably also requires some governing policies with regards to the funding distribution, but might be cleaner in the end.

Fucking bastards. I don't even know what beef they have with the community and why, but using THAT method to get them to shut down is nothing short of despicable. What absolute scum.

Filter is not block though, if you open the instance on your browser, you still see them. Only if you actually block them, they are gone.

Yep, confirmed. Not working for me either in Beta 30.

I'm pretty sure they do it to fly under the radar, since mobile clients are far more dominant than smart TV applications.

And there's also newpipe as an alternative to Vanced (or rather the other way around, I believe newpipe came earlier), and even a fork with sponsorblock integration. I personally vastly prefer them over vanced/revanced.

I'm using BubbleUPnp for screencasting.

You mean, only on Android TV. They don't have a phone app, and explicitly stated they are not interested in developing one.

So that's why you have 2 accounts ;-)

[–] godless@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Awesome, in that case, good luck and all the best!!!

[–] godless@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Man, that fucking sucks! Hope you'll be able to score a new & better job soon though, regardless of savings!

How do I find out if an instance is on an older version of Lemmy (like 0.17)?

If you open the instance in your browser, the version is displayed in the footer on the very bottom. Alternatively you can also go to https://lemmy.world/instances, and they show the version number of every instance in the second column.
