Quick shout-out to Grayjay: An app to watch videos on any platform - reducing the power of individual services. The Software is open-source and can be found here: https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/grayjay
I will test this out for myself and hope someone here finds this useful.
A shame it is not available for iOS (at least I can see).
Your mistake chosing an iPhone.
If there was a Linux approach to smartphones, I’d be interested. Instead, it’s a choice between two large corporations. And one of them receives the majority of its income from advertising. So that’s why I chose what I perceived to be the lesser of the two evils.
The lesser of two evils is Android as it’s like they put closed-source software on top of open source software (see AOSP) whereas on iPhone it’s all closed.
There are Linux phones, like the Pinephone and postmarketOS, but they’re not as polished as Andrpoid and iOS
GrapheneOS?
Apple actively sabotages these kinds of projects. You’re on the wrong device.
I wonder, are there any decent open source apps available for IOS? Asking for a friend, an Android envious friend, (actually my wife)

apple sucks for many reasons but this is just blatant fanboy mudslinging lol. i use plenty of foss on my apple devices, mainly mac
Apple and FOSS is dedinitely an antithesis but it’s kinda rude to disapprove Apple that heavily, even though I’m a hater too.

Is a nice XMPP client for iOS. But yeah Apple is pretty hostile to open-source developers.
Louis says somewhere in a comment on the presentation video that they won’t have (at least for the time being) an iOS app because Apple wouldn’t allow it in the Store, so there’s that.
Hopefully once the alternative App Stores come about (thanks to EU legislation), it might appear in the future.
Or web app approach (like Voyager does with Lemmy).
alternative app stores are only supposed to be in eu
apple is looking forward to region lock this side loading facility
I don’t see the option either. Need more options like this and Piped (Piped has Yattee on iOS).
