Just out of curiosity I tried getting the server running on my Android phone and it works! Redirect from the UntrackMe app is also working. Not sure how much of a battery drain it will be but I'll keep testing it.

Nitter is like a window to Twitter, letting you see tweets without all the extra stuff like ads or trackers. It's similar to how BetterDiscord makes using Discord more enjoyable. However, unlike with BetterDiscord, you can't sign in to Nitter. This is because Nitter prioritizes privacy and simplicity. When you sign in, you share personal data, but Nitter avoids this to keep your information safe. So, you can view tweets through Nitter, but for things like tweeting, liking, or retweeting, you would have to go to Twitter directly.

I use it because Twitter has a vast amount of information but I want nothing to do with the company itself. And there are handy apps like UntrackMe for Android and LibRedirect for desktop browsers that will automatically redirect to the open source alternatives.

Nope Nitter is a custom front end for Twitter, here's the description from GitHub Really awesome project:

A free and open source alternative Twitter front-end focused on privacy and performance. Inspired by the Invidious project.

  • No JavaScript or ads
  • All requests go through the backend, client never talks to Twitter
  • Prevents Twitter from tracking your IP or JavaScript fingerprint
  • Uses Twitter's unofficial API (no rate limits or developer account required)
  • Lightweight (for @nim_lang, 60KB vs 784KB from twitter.com)
  • RSS feeds
  • Themes
  • Mobile support (responsive design)
  • AGPLv3 licensed, no proprietary instances permitted

Pretty cool, seems like they're all gpt-3.5 at best but it's really nice to not sign in

Love it, can't stand clicking a link to a paywall

I think of it every time I see 'alot', but honestly I thought it was from the oatmeal comics before I looked it up to find this picture. I don't think I've seen the source in over 5 years!

Edit: I got it backwards, meaning these are what I'd consider acceptable places to charge your phone.

Airport? Yeah but use a no-data charging cable.

Mall? I don't see why anyone would care about that.

Restaurant? If it's under your table or very close by.

Parking lot? Do they have outlets?

Stadium? Where would they be charging it at a stadium, maybe where the bathrooms and concessions are? If it's out of the way I don't think that would bother anyone.

Your friends house? Yeah unless they're running an off-the-grid setup or something.

The office? Yes fuck the man.

Classroom? I assume they can charge it somewhere while in class, I've been out of there for a while though.

Museum? Eh, feel like it can wait.

Cinema? No.

Yeah this is a great tip, you can get some that can fast charge your phone and plug directly into the wall. You can use it as a normal phone charger and then unplug it and bring it with you for 10,000mAh on the go

Never knew that was a thing for reddit and now I really want it for lemmy!
