Evkob (they/them)

I’m curious, what attracted you to the Conservatives prior to the Maple-MAGA movement?

During the live coverage yesterday, CBC was saying that the issue wasn’t affecting all users.

I’m so fucking tired of Americans saying shit like “omg Canada as the 51st state would totally skew our elections Democrat, get owned Trump!”

The reality is, in any scenario where Canada gets annexed by the US, American democracy will not exist anymore by then. Even if there are fake elections, we’d most likely not be allowed to vote (à la Puerto Rico, as you point out).

I do appreciate someone pointing out how utterly enraged us Francophones would be if subjected to US rule.

I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P

Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:

4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.

Jesus of Nazareth was a loser, American evangelicals worship the true Lord, Supply-side Jesus!

I’ve seen that Medium article shared here before and find it very unconvincing. While I agree that framing the Proton CEO as an evil Nazi lapdog is a bit much, here’s a comment I saw on Lemmy another time this was discussed that explains why the article is flawed better than I could.

If you’re in need of some inspiration; Tom Scott on YouTube made a video of himself learning how to ride a bike. Seeing someone else learn something can be useful, and there’s a lot of little things in the video one can pick up on to avoid common mistakes.

You can definitely get a good daily-driver for less than that if you buy used and aren’t scared of learning a bit of bike maintenance.

Alternatively, people should look into cycling co-ops. There’s one in my town that refurbishes old bikes and sells them for around $100 (Canadian)

They didn’t list alternative platforms, all of those are alternative frontends or apps for YouTube.

I just took an edible and it’s starting to kick in, but I still want to figure this out.

Getting stoned and getting the magic rocks in my homelab to do my bidding is one of my favourite ways to use up my time on this Earth.

looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

Maybe that’s why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft’s atrocious naming schemes :P

blind brothers and sisters

No gender-neutral language for our non-binary siblings? For shame, comrade.

but eyeing OnlyOffice because of their cloud service.

ONLYOFFICE ≠ OpenOffice

Here’s the link on Github. It doesn’t seem to be on the main F-Droid repo, only IzzyOnDroid’s, so I don’t know why the other commenter tried to link to it on the main repo.

I thought they drove on the left in Wales?

I like Fluent Reader, it looks nice, can fetch full articles, and IIRC caches them locally for offline viewing, don’t quote me on that last one though.

When you post a link, you can add a thumbnail image URL! In the default lemmy-ui, it should be right under where you upload an image :)
