Just remember, people will be more open to trying the stuff you’re into if you’re compassionate about the things they’re frustrated with!

(This is intended for anyone who wants friends or acquaintances to try the fediverse platforms. For those who don’t or don’t care that’s perfectly valid too :)

Yeah as much as I don’t love proton as a company this feels wildly misleading…

Yeah I think that’s usually more a product of the celebrity status honestly… The rich and powerful are rich and powerful, and we live in a world where that money and power can buy your way out of accountability

False allegations absolutely ruin lives 😅

Which is not to say that sexism doesn’t play a role in how male celebrities get away with abuse, assault, exploitation, etc. It does.

OSM is just pronounced open street map or as an acronym- O.S.M.

The tilde isn’t from OSM, it’s from OsmAnd (the navigation app), and I thing it’s used to communicate whether you’re running the version from f-droid, or the play store version? I agree that’s confusing and makes for an awkward name though

Thank you!!

Just to clarify, OSM is the acronym for Open Street Map, which is just the map/database

OsmAND, comaps, and organicmaps are all apps/clients that use OSM as their source of map data, and add gps navigation functionality

Comaps was forked recently cause there were some issues with organic maps being run in kind of a crummy way that wasn’t in line with the community, if I understand right. But I’m sure someone more knowledgeable could elaborate better

I dunno if this clarification was needed or helpful but I figured I’d add it in case it’s of help :)

I like the organic maps UI, and I have liked the OsmAND functionality, but I’m still working on transitioning away from google maps so I have limited perspective. I do know there’s an app that wraps the google maps website so you can use it without google servicesor whatever and potentially less risk of tracking, and that may be of use depending on your needs!

This image makes me so happy lol

Gotcha. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Thats beautiful, thank you 🥹🥲

I’d like to petition that more businesses just use their letterboard signage for dumb dad jokes

Neat! Is there still that rule that everything has to use WebKit under the hood? I’m curious if one could also use firefox extensions on ios. I assume firefox has an iOS app but I guess now that I think about it, I’m not actually sure… 😅

While that is a fair counterpoint, it does feel like there’s a difference between being prosecuted for like real estate fraud or whatever in one of the most left leaning states, and what’s currently happening with Bolsonaro.

If we get to a point where trump tries to steal an election, fails, and is actually facing extremely serious federal consequences, I would expect we would see a lot of trump supporters out in the streets.

He didn’t even get held accountable but the fact that he could fail at stealing the election in 2020 was enough to produce jan 6th, and I imagine jan 6th and how it blew up and (temporarily) got a lot of folks in legal trouble, blew off a lot of the steam and confidence needed for a bigger showing in response to the legal trouble trump almost kinda sorta got in.

I don’t think the way things are playing out in Brazil is terribly surprising.

We out here using the 3Ds web browser 😤😤

(It has expired certificates and kinda doesn’t work anymore lol)

I mean if Donald trump was being prosecuted and it seemed like he’d actually face legal consequences, he’d still have tons of people who support him in the US.

Cults of personality who use the support they’ve built to game the political system and try to uproot democracy do so through their ability to build support.

I’d wager he only got to the point where he could try to game the election because he had the ability to build so much support and was successful in doing so.

Lol, that’s okay, it’s very much to my own preference, and it’s a lot less overstimulating when you’re the one who placed everything and labored over every little corner. A lot of it is designed to help me stay on top of managing my sleep disorder

Styling-wise it’s inspired by the in-show ui elements from cowboy bebop, and some typography from ghost in the shell

Yep. I forgot, I really need snap to half grid too.

And actively use swipe actions on app icons.

Things are super messy cause I haven’t finished updating stuff after changing phones and a couple things are broken while I make changes, but I can’t do this with any other launcher, sadly

I turned off internet connectivity for Nova and the Nova launcher prime with tracker control, I figure that may help.

Same. I really need padding adjustments for my custom home screen, and I haven’t seen anything else that lets you remove widget padding and adjust padding around each home screen page and the dock :/

And the ability to set my own widget as the persistent search bar widget.

I guess when I get tired of my current setup and start reworking it maybe I’ll just blow it all up and start over with another launcher and work within their constraints.

Excuse you, this is my favorite picture you’ve ever taken of your cat >.>

Good thing men have holes. Otherwise they’d be literally incompatible. >.>
