it’s an android app that lets you automate almost anything on your phone/android system. downsides are it’s a pay app, not foss, and fairly complicated to set up at first. upsides are it is almost unlimited with what you can automate. looks like there is a free trial. might be a lemmy-instance for it, (there’s a reddit sub) disclaimer; i haven’t used it for a while now on older android releases.

Have you tried using Tasker to schedule QRalarm for you?

on nickelodeon with spongebob & patrick co-hosting/commentating. I only caught the 4th quarter til the end, apparently was perfect timing.

They were using those trailers back in 1985, but they weren’t calling them temporary, it was just the only way they could afford to add classrooms instead of cramming more students in. I was even sitting in one of those watching the space shuttle failed launch on a tv on a cart with a vcr on the lower shelf.

I swear I’ve seen this before, like pre-YouTube or circa 2001. i even remember the woman only lasting a few minutes on the forum that was scrutinizing it because she didn’t seem to be aware of trolls. if this is a recent interview then maybe it was done as some sort of homage. only way i would have come across it back then was if someone threw up a link in general chat on pirat4x4.

Don’t forget the 1977 animated version “The Hobbit”

I’m not sure I understand - what would you call Banjo-Kazooie? Or even Super Mario 64? What do you mean by “3d platformer”? Like “open world” kinda game?

After reading the “issues” discussion from w weeks ago, this is just an idea at this point. The simplemobiletools fork was a mock up for something that sounds like its very much in the planning/ideas stage. you can also go to fossify.org to see another mock up that does nothing right now. You could message one of them, but I think maybe its some MIT software team / group & their just tossing ideas around for a foss hub of sorts.

I prefer self checkout for several reasons. And I agree with you - let’s pay workers a living wage. That being said, I don’t put 100% of the financial reponsibility on employers. I feel we (the consumers) need to acknowledge that employers aren’t the sole beneficiaries in this system. Translation; I want a living wage policy to be implemented but also I realize that this means an increase in the price I pay for (some) services. With this in mind, maybe I should receive a discount for using self checkout. Alternatively, how would you feel about being charged directly for the amount of time required for a “checker” to scan your items & ring you up? For example if you paid $0.33/minute this would cover a $20/hr wage.

Disclaimer: This “shared responsibility” can’t be universally applied across all goods & services; employers don’t get carte blanche to pass 100% of these costs onto the consumer. A living wage policy might entail some sort of agreed upon “max profit” policy or “open books” / transparent finances approach.

I’d say 400% + is a more realistic cost of buying components local vs. online. Regardless, I miss having the local option even tho I can actually get most parts delivered faster than it used to take me to drive to Fry’s & back.

instead of the majority of users having to create blocks (multiple opt-outs) couldn’t this be set up so users that want bot posts sign up or opt-in somehow?

The only time I’ve ever witnessed this was opening nite of “Star Wars” in La Puente/West Covina area ~ 45 years ago. Back then that was the title of the movie (not “A New Hope” Episode IV).

For a real “first time” user the only suggestion I’d add to this A+ advice is to pick up a cheap set of chisels (&/or carving set). Cheap as in lowest price, quality isn’t really critical at this moment. (Harbor Freight, Amazon, etc). This way you can practice sharpening, grind a new base bevel angle, then try wet sanding on glass. You can explore processes & develop your own preferred methods all while having zero worries about messing up your expensive $ quality metal. This is prolly even more appropriate if your aspirations include carving & whittling blades because there are so many different types - unlike the general similarity found from one chisel to the next with only the blade width being different. TLDR: the advantage of having a sacrificial set of chisels/knives stems from being able to continually practice as often as desired & gaining muscle memory etc. thru repetition vs the inexperience resulting from infrequent opportunities coupled with the stress of not wanting to mess up new expensive metal.

I remove permissions for notifications from all apps that I am able to except for sms/text & phone calls.

I love mango especially because it can be frozen & it doesn’t breakdown the texture nor the flavour. It one of the only frozen fruits I can get from grocery store that I can eat out of the package (vs. most frozen fruit is only good for smoothies etc IMO). My favorite is plums, but only from my granma’s tree. Nothing sold in stores would ever be labeled “plum” if it were up to me. I also like pineapple alot. Apples, oranges, peaches, while sometimes store bought you might get a good one once in a while, homegrown (or local…basically fresh) fruit has no equal. But i practically live off fruit except during the 3 winter months.

Newpipe has had similar issues for me for the last few days. Not every video, but more have problems than the ones that play. ALL videos are having longer than normal buffering ti es tho. Slow initial load times in Freetube but it’s been playing everything fine otherwise.

The article puts the “overwhelmed” statement in auotes but doesn’t attribute it to anyone, & later in the article states > the rise in respiratory illnesses has not resulted in patient loads that exceed hospital capacities.

Passing on misleading/clickbait headlines should be discouraged IMO. Also, why are articles being posted without any comments or justification/reasons for sharing the article?

For mechanical fasteners thag don’t require any bonding / achesives red heads are what I’ve always used. They also have special screws, all of these I have no problem recomend\ing. The only advantage I can think one of the redheads might have over your current (working) solution is if you used a a threaded sleeve type to allow the “axle”? to be removeable. I’ve used these types for bolting tool stands like metal tube be benders to the floor of my garage. Allows me to have multiple tool mounts that are removeable - lasted 10+years without any issues.

Informacam has a similar “chain of custody” goal but was developed for existing devices. Guardian Project was involved with CameraV, the android version for mobile devices. It looks like Proofmode is now the active project & it’s available for ios as well as android. https://proofmode.org/

I can tell you really want that to be true, but the bots posting links to “elsewhere” articles with a summary or TLDR that reads like it’s been run thru 15 really crappy language translators & fail to even make sense let alone properly summarize the pertinent details - yeah that’s what drives me away. I’m prolly a fringe user, my primary use is to satisfy my hobbyist/DIY addictions, & I enjoy being able to read & learn in the same place/format. I generally have little interest in the social media/what’s trending or political subs. I used to appreciate seeing occasional posts from the social/politics but they are so toxic & devoid of any conversation that might interest me. I’m really hoping that the humans that are still out in the real world doing amazing things will find their way to federated freedom so I can selfishly return to my daily realization of how little I know. Because those bot posts coupled with all the ignorant hate comments have the opposite effect - I start feeling like there’s nothing left to learn here…
