I hate how everything is a fucking app these days why the god damn fuck can I not sign up for lex on my computer. It wouldn't be as big of an issue if they didn't have some shitty browser auth that fails (probably because my phone likes to open a private browser tab for apps instead of the full browser app). Like wow guys wouldn't it be easier to verify my browser IF I WAS USING A FUCKING WEB BROWSER TO DO THIS. JUST LET ME SIGN UP LIKE I DO FOR EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE ENTIRE INTERNET.
Anyway I'm just annoyed I can't see how many cool gay things are happening near me that I won't even go to, maybe I'll debug it later. Right now I have girl farming to do.
I don’t use Reddit, but the couple times I’ve tried to look at something on there recently it’s been totally unusable. Gotta go to the app to click on a post.
Use old reddit or a front end if you must use
Old Reddit’s hard
Yeah hard to stand
Haha yeah I was looking at Lex too right now and that was my impression. Bad for privacy, at least they don't outright sell your data
pure enshittification
I mean
I kinda get wanting a phone number to keep trolls and stuff off, but there's no reason I couldn't do the same setup steps on my computer.
True there, hate appification
Girl farming >>>>>>> shitt mobile apps
I have wanted a good android emu for a long time to at least do this shit on desktop...
You can try Android x86_64 in VirtualBox or QEMU/KVM.
Thank you for this, I didn't know there were other options.
You can also use Android Studio's device emulator, it's good and should get the general things done.
Waow I have options! Thank you for this.
Some people flashed their old laptops with Android x86_64. There are multiple forks around, you should check that first. If you have problems making a virtual machine or struggle with anything feel free to DM me
Thenk you, I do have several old laptops so maybe this can be a job for one of them ✨
Slight update, I found the fork I was talking about: https://blissos.org/index.html it's generally updated version of android x86_64
You can also use Android Studio's emulator if needed
There are some, like bluestacks, not sure if they will work for this though. Might try later but I really don't want my phone number getting blacklisted or something.
Bluestacks looks like typical windows style paid fucking malware. Like DVDcreator or whatever, I did use BS once ages ago but it's all weird now.
This shit sux tho :/
