mastodon-android VS CloudStream-3

Mastodon app is built like that, the release apk is around 3 Mb, ~half of which is resources: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android

Though it's not without compromises — because of Google's stupid policy that "nothing goes into the system unless it needs direct access to privileged or private system components", RecyclerView, ViewPager, and some other basic UI components are still AndroidX libraries that depend on AppCompat for no good reason. I had to fork them to rid them of that dependency: https://github.com/grishka/LiteX

Mastodon (version 45): Decentralized social network

I love that Mastodon is decentralized. But as a privacy engineer, I was curious about how their app handles our data compared to what they claim in their privacy policy, so I analyzed their open-source app code in my privacy code scanning tool.

We tried to analyze if the actual application code (which is open-source) actually adheres to the privacy policy as declared by mastodon.social server. Therefore, we ran the Privado privacy scanner on Mastodon’s Android application code.

this was fixed yesterday, see this issue in the bugtracker: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon-android/issues/298

I used to use an app to stream many TV shows and Movies on Android and now it has been taken down by github. This is the project page. As you can see its taken down per DMCA request. And the DMCA was requested by sky.com. You can find about it here. I am not sure if you love the show Riviera but its bad that a 6.6 rated TV show producer requested a DMCA takedown on a github project which scrapes external website, which stream these shows. Instead of taking down those, they took down the app which is but a simple vessel to show the contents in a simple app interface. I have most streaming subscription but cant get all shows and movies in one place even if I combine them. And when one app does this they take it down. Hope the repo owner does host it on his own server using gitlab. I am sure they wont takedown jellyfin plesk or others which you can selfhost but since this app was not hosting the movies or shows but scraping it allowing us to view it, that is indirectly stream it, has been takendown what else can be if we use thirdparty iptvs. Hope there is a gitlab or gittea version for jellyfin

I'm not sure if there are specifically ad free versions of Facebook or Insta, but for movies and shows the best is easily Cloudstream

3.0.0 was working fine yesterday but now nothing is working. They released a beta version of the app on their GitHub 2 hours ago, I tried it and it works. Here's the link: https://github.com/LagradOst/CloudStream-3/releases/tag/pre-release
