Hmm, why need dark mode in VLC? You launch a video file and watch it full screen anyway. Also, VLC has themes and last I checked there were couple of them which were sufficiently dark

noone ever does – Microsoft, Google and Facebook must be faking their reports on how effective their advertisement platforms are in order to boost their sales. the sales of ads, not the advertised products
Better than DDG or Bing, but worse than Google
But now they are photo realistic
It’s different in Poland, because we don’t normally use credit or debit cards for online purchases — we use Blik, which is a proprietary inter-bank payment system based on one-time tokens which are only valid for 2 minutes. You don’t give your card information to Amazon or wherever you make a purchase (also compatible with regular contactless card terminals in physical locations) to charge you themselves however much they feel like, but rather provide a one-time code, confirm the transaction on your phone and you’re charged immediately.
EDIT: oh and also it supports contactless payments via NFC on rooted phones so we got a workaround to Google messing with Gpay 8)
They did say Apple fanboys
No, iMessage is not compatible with RCS just yet. Messaging between an iPhone and Android is still SMS
Within two weeks after purchase and under two hours of runtime, but also note that proprietary installer some games and Steam software use (non Steam built-in one) does count towards runtime as well
Nonironically yes
I use Antennapod on Android, it syncs with Gpodder (which requires self hosting on Nextcloud) and then there’s plenty of compatible clients over on desktop
Was Google Pay US-exclusive?
Wait, Google Pay still exists? Wasn’t it rebranded to Wallet?
This is fair, but let’s hope this doesn’t make the FTA-related apps un-uninstallable
Then why did you recommend FreeTube in the first place? I’m fully aware of LibreTube, Newpipe and Grayjay, but I choose to use Revanced due to factors mentioned in other comment. Using an alternative clients such as those listed above does not solve the global issue of Google making fucking stupid decisions, even if you yourself are not touched by them because you happen to use Newpipe
Coz they small
Then how is this helpful for a feature on the mobile app?
But this is for desktop?
This reminds of how Xiaomi introduced sorting by colours of the app icon in their launcher. But that was different and I believe actually helped getting around
Also, I wonder how that works if you’re colorblind?
This was probably a joke but I can actually answer that for you.
First of all, afaik there is no scientific consensus that people see the colours the same way. In fact, we most likely don’t. The visual colour interpretation is mostly likely merely added on by our brains basing on the knowledge of wavelengths. In other words, there is no such thing as “absolute blue”. There is “a blue” which is the colour each one of us’ brains was taught to call blue by simply showing the sky. If I were to look through your brain (but not through your eyes, eyes understand wavelengths), we would probably disagree on each and every colour.
Second of all, there are different kinds of colour blindness. It is in fact an umbrella term for different disabilities. My understanding is that they usually involve a spectrum between two hues. So most colourblind will simply be unable to tell a difference between objects of two colours: for example red and green. They see them as slightly different versions of the same colour. However it would be wrong to say that the person in question sees red as green or vice versa, because, again, there are no “absolute colours”. Their eyes cannot distinguish between these two ranges of wavelengths and the brain interprets them as the same colour.
And finally, colourblind people, when diagnosed, are fully aware of being colourblind, and furthermore, they DO NOT see in black and white. Even if a person cannot distinguish red and orange, then they still are aware there is a difference that most people around can tell and that there are concepts and feelings associated with them.
What I am trying to say is that a colour-blind person would probably still be able to, for example, associate “red” videos with action and blood, and “green” ones with nature and calmness, even though this distinction is not palpable to them.
Either way, this filtering with thumbnail colour is fucking stupid.
If I were to only use legal sources of media, then I would stick with either Apple TV or HBO Max (yeah it’s still called that where I live). Otherwise I recommend Cloudstream for Android TV
