I have installed Linux on all four of my laptops, and I’m hoping to migrate from my iPhone to a Pixel with DivestOS as soon as I move out of my parents’ house (I’m currently 17), or sooner if possible.

I have also swapped many web apps for desktop apps, and my music collection has been based around CDs and DRM-free files since it started in 2016. In addition, I still use DVDs, VHS tapes, and (to a lesser extent) good old-fashioned Torrents for my films and TV shows.

If the internet becomes altogether too bad, there’s always Gemini. Making web apps is trickier, but entirely feasible.

I think there was also a federated social media site on Gemini, which could interact with Mastodon, but I can’t find it.

I’m afraid a PWA might be the only way to go. uYou, Cercube, and Yattee are the only apps that aren’t crammed full of ads, tracking and in-app purchases.

I was about to recommend Yattee, but then I reread the post and noticed that OP has already tried it.

What else is new?

I would expect nothing else from the Daily Fail. That paper is a crock of shit.
