without Google's android, and in Western world you can't use it for banki g purposes due to lack of security

Weird how I can use this PC (Made in China) without needing no oversight from lel Google to access my bank without issue. Right?

This research aims to examine whether a preference for popular music of a specific era still exists and whether it still follows a ~~non-monotonic~~ non monolithic relationship with age.

I went with a typo at first :/

Because you're trusting and paying two third parties instead of one? Like I say - my provider I imagine is dumping the copyright violations directly in the bin these days and if I wanted to really get off the clearnet and things went to shit I would simply spin up an I2P node/moar bandwidth if I was really concerned.

But I'm not currently, and find it weird how many want us to use things hosted in a different country which might be at any time under obligation to release all my details to a foreign entity. Each to their own and all.

I really don't bother, and last time I got emailed from my ISP was 2019.

I have family members on my Tailnet seeding happily away on another ISP which also seemingly doesn't give a fuck too, so why the big push recently for everyone to funnel their traffic through a third party?

So why can't we predict when I need to defecate and take that suit off in time since I don't work in an office, and have none of these "heat and air" systems you talk about?

So, what are your thoughts on The Jetsons?

1 million air traffic controllers

I'm sorry but if you're going to exaggerate numbers you should cite the exact amount there are.

Fools only believe in made up numbers.

Yeah I checked it out and it seems nice with all the other info not available in FlowX such as sunrise/sunset times etc in a Material theme. But I like FlowX simply for its information density and accuracy, latter being my most favourite thing since I can switch between high res models and predict myself if I need freezer pantie time/weather proofs.

Hell yes.

I ain't a lover of that kinda app (aesthetics plz) and why I stick with Boost being a RiF user but having lots of alternatives is one of the many reasons we all kicked off originally over in r/Android about the API bollocks Mr Greedy Piggy Spez brought in. That, and shitting on the disabled/spam whackers/translators you name it. Pissed us off enough we made this instance.

Does that official reddit app have decent Accessibility features yet, or was Spez yet again talking out of his pooper?

Good work btw, and obligatory fuck spez ;)

I haven't built / tried it yet but would getting rid of the reddit logo up top too (leddit, perhaps?) work well? Or even load up your local instance favicon etc?

I kinda disagree on the weather app subscription model.

The API usage cost devs a fair whack depending on the sources they scrape from and while I've never used Today Weather, I have used FlowX (formerly WeatherBomb) for ages and the free version has no crap / ads/ nag pages with basic radar models available, but I decided to subscribe since it (besides supporting the dev) gives me high resolution radars for longer time-spans. And since I'm an outdoor worker too I thought it best to be on top of the weather.

But overall I do agree some of the forced "subscribe or ads" model can die in a fire.

Over half of us in r/Android left and while a few of headed over here and made our very own instance, some stopped on and, I paraphrase

I'm not seeing some shitheel coming and doing spezs deeds, and I'll just mass approve/remove shite

Brave fucker that mod.
