What in the absolute fuck

I disabled play store and playservice and only use fdroid applications.

What does this mean? I've been trying to decouple from Google for a while now and this sounds like something I should do

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

As sfloss said about fdroid. Also there is droidfy which uses primarily uses fdroid repo. You can also add additional repos through it and there is obtanium for updates from single source. Aurorastore for google play(available on fdroid) apps without the trackers when it works (getting difficult to use auroratracker on anonymous mode because google is cracking on it) although I only use fdroid apps. My android phone lets me disable play store and play services. I recommend getting an app called shizuku and adb shell of your preference to give yourself higher user privileges (not root) that combined with adb shell or an easy to use application like canta (comes with instructions about what they do and which ones are safe to remove) will let you delete android inbuilt spyware and also disable apps like google play services. After all that you can use something like nextdns as filter and block dns requests for adware/spyware. GrapheneOS is great but only works with pixel phones unfortunately.

F-Droid is an Android app repository that only contains FOSS applications. You can install it on any Android phone and use it as your primary app store.

Disabling the Play Store and Play Services is tricky because Play Services is embedded pretty deeply into the Android operating system, so I'm assuming OP is using a degoogled Android custom ROM like LineageOS or GrapheneOS.

I blocked it with shizuku privileges and used dns filters. I wish I had a pixelphone though for a complete solution though. I could do better with a systemwide firewall with root I guess.

ReelShort is an app and company that produces over-the-top soap opera style shows where every episode is 1-3 minutes and in a vertical aspect ratio so you can watch it on your phone. I actually know an actress who stars in several of these and they shoot them in like a week. The company is Chinese and she flew over to China and shot like 2 entire shows in a week's time. I don't know who they're for but she has tons of fun working on them and they have tens of millions of views.

yeah like the content sucks and i dont understand the audience but it feeds actors which is a lot more than we can say for other new types of entertainment

[–] MarxusMaximus@hexbear.net 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 41 minutes ago)

The content sucks? I'll have you know that "My Boss is My Secret Sperm Donor" is the best vertical show you'll find about a woman who gets pregnant by IVF before finding out that the donor is her boss who also offered to knock her up the old fashioned way when he found her browsing sperm bank websites in the office, which totally isn't sexual harassment, and whom she falls in love with after he stands up for her when some dude pushes her into a pool.

I watched the trailer and it seems like every one of these shows is approximately one episode of a random CW show spread out over 60 one-minute episodes.

[–] ButtBidet@hexbear.net 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

android core app

Can you please elaborate. Cuz a web search doesn't turn up much.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 17 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Are they just using anime titles for live action, straight-to-streaming shows now?
