yep! Since I got the phone I got, I have never logged in to Google. Just gotta hit ‘Skip’ on the device setup - and you can download a .apk of the aurora app store and use it anonymously, in addition to using f-droid (tho, caveat, folks have opinions about f-droid) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aurora.store/

you can use android without being logged in to google. Especially using the Aurora app store

There are open source / self-hosted giphy types of things. Not sure what federating would add, unless you wanted content discovery or something? A link to a picture is a link to a picture, no need to re-host it across instances.

TypeError is also a correct response, though, and I think many folks would say makes more sense. Is an unnecessary footgun

yea, crazy that you can raw-dog in Wildermyth. Did NOT expect that cutscene.

Awesome game - they’ve been doing great and regular updates the whole early access

See, I feel like this was written by a coder. WAY too accurately specific.

That’s cool. I had no idea there was a python variant for visual novels! https://www.renpy.org/

I know it’s a typo, but I like the idea of composting code. A lot of it is turning to shit and has gotten moldy, so the metaphor is apt. Gotta mix it up with some fresh stuff, and turn it around every so often and you’ll end up with gold if you can give it the proper time

Oh this dude makes good motorcycle videos.

Another unfun fact (dunno if it’s mentioned in the video) is that Teflon is a PFAS that is currently in our environment and ground water in harmful amounts, is definitely giving us cancer, and can’t be easily extracted or broken down :(

I hope we can go back to waxed coats and boots or something, soon.

edit:// the video does mention it. Cool video

I feel the same. It’s awesome that there’s a whole community and content. Lovely to see all the smaller communities too

The Arch Wiki spit in my mouth, pulled my pants up to my chest, and called me names.

Just start using Signal. Don’t push it for a reason for people who don’t care, just let people know “Hey, message me here”. The more people that use it - the better for everyone - whether they benefit or not.

The second part of that is use things like WhatsApp less or not at all, but you can always start with the first part. Maybe you already have folks on signal, and you can just start messaging them there until more folks come over.

Ha. Amateurs. I disappeared YEARS of my files by self-hosting.

Hadn’t heard of reiverr, you like it?

I’ve been toying with the idea of creating a file-arr for analyzing disk usage, performing common operations, and exposing a web-based upload/download client so I don’t have to mount the volume everywhere.

That’d be cool. There’s one that does transcoding and another that does unzipping

Arch, btw

you just haddddd to say it

Oh god, please for the love of god use a spoon and not a knife tip, though
