“Seal downloader” from the Playstore and “Seal” from F-Droid are 2 very different apps. One is a a clone riddled with ads, the other one is FOSS goodness. You are free to guess which is which.

I was very interested in the thumbnail of this post so I did a little digging and found this: The PDF to the Paper where the whole picture is

That would be “accepting the premise of assholes” as Louis Rossman would say.

Grayjay is also a option if you want to avoid the ads. Eddit* spelling changed from Gayjay to Grayjay

Wild theory: could it have been malicious compliance? Maybe the dev got a written notice to do it that way from some incompetent manager.

It’s so sad to see this game slowly drown. The Gameplay is rock solid, the visuals are a great step up from Payday 2 and they pushed their stealth to another level. What slowly kills the game for me are numerous small things like death of a thousand cuts. Allways Online. The UI is uninspired at best and plain broken at worst. There is no offline single player. Great maps but way to few so it gets repetitive and boring after the 15th robbery of the same Bank. The progression was a big problem (luckily already they changed it). The wepons don’t feel different enough. They are only introducing now persistent player lobbys after a heist. I could go on for much longer but you get the point. What they fix is way to slow and way to little. I was hopeful that they could change the game to the better and make Payday to the talk of the town again but insted I feel like the game is becoming so irrelevant that nobody would even like to pirate it. And you know you are screwed when they don’t even wanna pirate your shit.

I am pretty certain my Audi 80 from 1994 doesn’t know anything about me. Can’t opt out, if it doesn’t collect anything.

The App (Drip) gives you after about 3 months acurate times on when the period should start. If you want accurate fertility tracking your girlfriend will have to measure her basal temperature (ar best daily) and either look out for changing cervical mucus or change in cervix opening/hardness.

I am glad I finally got my wife use this Foss alternative instated of some garbage that sends your data to a proprietary server.

This article reads as if nobody wanted to legalize it which is wrong. The population was asking for legalization for many years now. Finally the new “traffic light coalition” made the change.

An actually halfway decent idea might be adding a strong UV light inside the washing machine or dryer to kill germs. Modern eco methords with 30-40 C° just dont kill the germs effectively. You’d need to wash your clothes at last at 60C° which most clothes (especially sports wear) cant handle anymore. Or just dry them on the outside where we also have a Strong UV source aka. The sun.

In germany there are pedestrian/residental areas with a speed limit of 4-7km/h (2-4mp/h for the American folk here). Basically 1st gear idle speed. Also you can’t “jaywalk” in these areas since it’s specifically desjnged as a mixed space, nobody has a right of way.

It’s probably not about getting the legitimate version rather about supporting the creators. Don’t scrounge a penny for work that you love. Eddit: better support a creator throu a donation instead of buying the song on Itunes or something.

I recently installed wolf launcher on my android tv. It works like a charm. I also sideloaded most apps that I regularly use, and for my ease of use I installed f-droid on my Tv. I would also recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard with trackpad combo. Only problem is that Android TVs need to be restarted once in a while or it’s prone to crashing, at least mine is.

Acutally you can selfhost your sync server for firefox: https://thesmarthomejourney.com/2023/03/18/self-hosting-firefox-sync/

Allright, my promised update: My Ram finally arrived and I happily put in the 8gb and… It went all south. Horrible boot time, bad performance the whole 9yards. Bios (thank you HP) didn’t even let me change the clockspeed of my ram. Anyways since I wanted to give my Wifes Laptop (her active one) an upgrade anyway I got the 8gb ram in her machine and that one works like a charm (-windows). So I had 4 gb left now (from her machine). Well, I stuck that one in this linux machine and they now play nicely.

So all in all a great success story! Thank you for encouraging me to upgrade it!

I’ve looked up a video, took it apart, got it all together again. Tried booting it up, paniced for 2 seconds because it couldn’t detect the hard drive anymore, then realised that I had forgotten to plug the drive back in properly (silly me). Opened it up again, got the lill cable back where it belongs and screwed everything together (again). Works like a charm now.
