The only archive of it was made one day before a satire article writing about it was made, and there are no traces of the website from before that anywhere online. Mods took down the previous thread on this.

It was some writer wanting to get attention who spread it.

Edit: context on why it’s fake: https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

There’s also a lot of satire on the original website that posted the article

For the last part of the post about restricting Lemmy because lobbyists/investors don’t like that it can’t be controlled, things like that can actually be protected against happening with Net Neutrality. Which in the US they’re trying to bring back finally https://www.fcc.gov/document/chairwoman-rosenworcel-proposes-restore-net-neutrality-rules

Likely wouldn’t help with torrenting sites considering the first go-around with it had “Consumers deserve access to the lawful Internet content of their choice.” as one of the big things which is a contradiction to what Net Neutrality stands for, but it’s at least a step in the right direction.

Another user did some digging too and pointed out that the archive was the only one and was made on the day before the article, so the shaman website seems to have been created specifically for that article https://beehaw.org/comment/1430242

OP’s post links here if it doesn’t work on your instance: https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

The first line says “Seriously. This isn’t satire.”, but a few of the other posts are satire on the site (not all), such as “KDE Foundation hires Dwarf Paladin as new Executive Director” and “NetBSD Ported to Cheese Sandwich”. So this is probably malicious satire.

Looks like they were trying to link here, but the link didn’t work, at least on the instance I’m on. Not sure about others. https://lunduke.locals.com/post/4740497/gnome-foundation-hires-professional-shaman-as-new-executive-director

Edit: The first line says it’s not satire, but poking around the site there is definitely some satire articles on there, so I think this is probably malicious satire.

Shelter, Insular (f-droid, FLOSS fork of Shelter), or Android Work Profiles/User Profiles if your phone lets you manually control them. If not, Shelter or Insular manage it for you.

On Samsung, Secure Folder will also do it.

These create a separate user profile that is shown with a little icon on the corner of the app icon, separate from your main phone user profile (this includes being separate from your VPN connection, if any, keep that in mind). They’ll all do what you’re trying to do if you stick your games in them.

Just enabled this, thanks!

Would like to add to this that invidious on web can proxy your videos like Piped does but you have to enable it in settings first, not sure when they added it but they have that now

Modded discord is the only way I can tolerate it anymore, custom UI and plugins take a lot of the friction away on both mobile and desktop, Discord still needs a viable competitor though so stuff doesn’t get trapped only on Discord, and so they have an incentive to improve stuff instead of enshittification

The issue with modded Discord is the ban risk, despite how uncommon it is, the risk is still there

The funny thing is I wouldn’t mind watching their ads if they weren’t annoying with them. If the ads were only at the start of a video, not during, and no still image banner at the bottom I have to click X on on desktop. I don’t want to actively dismiss anything while I’m watching the video, I want to relax and watch it.

They don’t allow me to sit and enjoy the videos without babysitting them to skip after the timer, so that’s why I block their ads with absolutely no compromise anymore.
