Oooh, Runelite on Linux <3.

Finally.

Sounds about right. Fits in with the 80:20 rule. Does the first 80 quicker than the 20% of time it usually takes but does the next 20% which takes 80% of the time even slower.

Effectively, it optimises the quicker bit so you suffer long term and overall waste more time while screwing the planet. It's only fine for prototyping and even then, would that be the best base to build off? Is it modular and maintainable? Does it have low coupling and high cohesion? Or is it just trash?

Wait. This is in America and you're sharing a .co.uk link?!

I almost shit myself, but hopefully the burrito I consumed was not contaminated.

Similar issues in the UK too. AC is becoming essential in summer, especially for heatwaves.

Coffee can be a bit much. Tea is much better that coffee. It's like a third of the caffeine, plus, tea is life (I'm British, please excuse my bias).

Why support it? Their specialty is Linux.

I try to not dwell on them. The more you entertain them, the more they grind you down. Accept it's natural to have them, but you cannot change the past, so focus on learning, and redemption. Use them as a force for self improvement.

I have learning difficulties, I cannot function if I focus on my mistakes because I'm prolific. Acceptance and move on.

Let's not use "sideload", as you're just installing apps.

A ref is given leeway, they choose whether to exercise or not and he didn't provide any leeway or special favour. He made a call and refs decision stands.

It still amazes me that you don't see how dangerous Balogun's challenge was. Did you not see the dude's ankle? Could have got broken. Quansah didn't even touch the guy with studs and won the ball. It was still a red. Both without intent, both deemed dangerous. One almost snapped a players ankle.

Yes, that last bit was catty, but the weird tribal defending of it it with weird justifications seemed to fit in with how Trumpy was arguing. Not necessarily within the rules of the game or historical precedents.

You obviously don't know enough about "soccer". You been listening to your presidents definitions?

A red can be given for serious foul play.

"Serious foul play is defined as "a tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality.""

It fits the definition. Even with FIFA suspended the sentence they didn't overturn it.

Quansah got a red card for England despite playing for and winning the ball. Intent is not the key ingredient of a red card.

Either way, Belgium's hammered the USA even with Balogun. Tis a lol.

Never did. He only has ambition. Where was you when he was taking all these gifts?

Fossify Contacts (fork of Simple Contacts) and Fossify SMS Messenger (fork of Simple SMS Messenger) have been released on F-Droid.

Other Fossify apps available for download on F-Droid:

(ICYMI, Simple Mobile Tools suite was acquired by an adware company and their apps on the Google Play Store now contain trackers and unnecessary permissions. This report from Exodus shows that the old version of Simple Gallery had 0 trackers and 10 permissions, whereas the app, after sale, contains 9 trackers and 21 permissions!)

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we’re here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Fossify Gallery (fork of Simple Gallery), Fossify File Manager (fork of Simple File Manager) and Fossify Calendar (fork of Simple Calendar) are now available for download on F-Droid.

About Fossify: Fossify is all about community-backed, open-source, and ad-free mobile apps. A fork of the SimpleMobileTools, which is no longer maintained, and we're here to continue the legacy, bringing simple and private tech to everyone.

Some folks recommended SimpleMobileTools such as calendar. After it was sold off, a fork was created by one of their contributors, and it's released on F-droid now.

Wanted to give this update in case folk were curious.

 

Looks like UK is going the same way as a few states. Spare a thought for us. So messed up this increasing surveillance state.

The Chrome team says they're not going to pursue Web Integrity but...

it is piloting a new Android WebView Media Integrity API that’s “narrowly scoped, and only targets WebViews embedded in apps.”

They say its because the team "heard your feedback." I'm sure that's true, and I can wildly speculate that all the current anti-trust attention was a factor too.

Many said we couldn't stop it. We, like many, applied pressure, and they backed the fuck off.

We have no room for complacency now though. Google cannot be allowed to dictate web standards. Firefox needs to eat into that Chromium market share. Never forgive. Never forget.

 

Hi, all.

We've grown considerably since rebuilding the sub (see https://lemmy.ml/post/2262830). Active monthly users 150 -> 380. 3.5k -> 5.42k subs. It seems to be growing organically now, and the higher we go, the more people will stumble across it. There is always a need to get away from Google, and hopefully our community can help people with this.

If you'd like to join us to help moderate so we have folk in place as we need them, that would be awesome.

If you are interested. Please send a message about why you think you'd be good for the role, and also an example post/comment in this community previously.

Thanks,

CrypticCoffee

Apologies for multiple posts today. I hadn't planned on doing so. I stumbled across this and it communicates effectively what this is. As many are confused by this, it could be a reasonable bit of information.

 

Mozilla's position on WEI is pretty solid.

 

Oh boy, it's happening. Google is flexing it's muscles and abusing it's market position. It has never been a better way to convince and support family and friends in moving across to Firefox, a fast and privacy supporting browser.

And since you won't be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is... interesting to say the least.

It does seem that using Chrome (or Chrome based browsers) is just going to going to perpetuate this. Firefox has never been more important IMHO.

 

Discuss software recommendations. I locked it as I don't want it to be messy and hard to consume. Feel free to say anything here regarding that thread.

Here I will pin a list of recommendations for software. Getting started can be daunting, and it'd be great to pull that information together here for newcomers so they can take practical steps to degoogle their lives.

Does anyone know a good FOSS app for managing task lists or notes where you can use checkboxes to mark off what is completed and what isn't?

Thanks.
