Who cares when Google still points to the site(s) where you can get them?

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I guess I’m missing what you’re saying Google is doing. I can reach my + app without issue by searching in Google and get the IPA. Not seeing the problem.

You can still use your installed app, of course, but download links on GitHub, including https://github.com/qnblackcat/uYouPlus/releases and uyouplus.com, have been taken down

Holy crap I just happened to keep the copy of the uYouPlus ipa file I was going to delete it since I use a resigned version that I used my old expired apple developer account to sign as totally my personal app and install via xcode to my iPhone and that way it doesn’t expire or have to be renewed like I guess most third party apps do… I only did it this way because the two other methods of installation didn’t work for me. But I kept the og ipa if I need to downgrade back to it which I did a week ago because the newest version of the app broke sponsorblock and a couple other minute things.

Anyway I have a copy of I think v19.02.1-3.0.1 ipa

uYouEnhanced has a SideStore source that still downloads. It gives v19.09.4-3.0.3

[–] PopShark@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Oh OK cool that’s good to know so they creators probably just took off the GitHub releases to comply with Google’s bullshit but anything on any other websites or any other repos is fair game

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What does that have to do with Google though. GitHub is owned by Microsoft.

[–] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

...Google sent GitHub the DMCA.

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ahh. That’s the piece I missed. It’s a Friday. lol. Thanks.

It’s a Friday

Man, my logical brain knows how this works, but it still weirds me out when I can see a comment "8 hours ago" at 8 pm on Saturday that reads "it's a Friday". My intuition is like..."10 hours behind? No problem. 15+ hours behind? Huh????"

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I think I posted it at 7:30p on Friday evening. Says it was 12 hours ago. It’s currently Sat morning here at 7:25a if that helps.
