Yes, such a cool addition to have space audio! Presumably there is a technical reason it’s worthwhile as well? Does it help with troubleshooting engine issues or something?

Hmm, it seems that with specifically the question type of multi choice, no comment, and other, it requires you put something in Other to even tick it. If you don’t have something to say then just put in a dot or space or whatever, I don’t think I can influence this, it’s part of the software.

Ah right. It was a solid 10 paragraphs long so I didn’t make it.

Vote privacy can be tricky in an environment where every vote gets sent to thousands of instances and needs to be verified as legit via the ActivityPub protocol.

Piefed does a good job of this I think. If vote privacy is enabled, they create a second account that is used only for votes. Other instances see the votes and can validate them against the vote account but it’s not tied to the actual user (except in their home server database).

A benefit of this is that the vote account for the user is always the same, so you can still track vote manipulation, and ban the vote account if needed.

And apparently Jim ain’t gonna make it.

That seems somehow worse. People fill in the form and then it gets published as is on the website? Doesn’t seem worth publishing as news or an opinion piece, I’m not even sure what kind of media that’s supposed to be.

Not the one I was looking at: https://f-droid.org/packages/it.danieleverducci.lunatracker/

I do see with a web search there is a period tracker with the same name. Confusing!

F-droid has LunaTracker. It says you can sync via WebDAV (e.g. Nextcloud or others).

I haven’t used it so can’t vouch for it but it looks nice and simple to use.

The question reminds me of this:

Ross: Why are you mad at me?

Phoebe: You said I was boring

Ross: When did I say you were boring?!

Phoebe: Oh my God, I remember now! We were playing chess!

Ross: Phoebe! You and I have never played chess!

Phoebe: Oh, come on! Yes, remember that time on the frozen lake? We were playing chess, you said I was boring, and then you took off your energy mask and you were Cameron Diaz! Okay, there’s a chance this may have been a dream.

So long as you’re in the right timeline/universe. I’m not sure I’d fit into the Terran Empire that well.

Yes Android is basically a laptop in your pocket, dumb phones used a last a week on a charge. Though the main thing I miss is that the alarm would still go off even if the battery went flat 😅

Dumb phones still exist. There’s a market for them from people who want big physical buttons through to parents who want their kids to have an emergency phone.

I can’t tell where to find them but here in NZ I just search “dumb phone NZ” and get heaps of options.

I just bought my phone second hand, not “refurbished”. I buy last years model for a big discount from the people who upgrade every year.

I’m not sure I’d be brave enough to go back to a pixel 4a, since they haven’t received security updates for some time.

Interestingly, I love the Gnome workflow and could never get into KDE. I tried a KDE distro for a while but it was after I’d tried Gnome and it just didn’t click for me.

Many of these things are down to the distro. So which one did you go with?

I didn’t see you mention anywhere what you picked. Seems like Fedora or something Fedora based?

I hate to sound like I’m “blaming the victim” here, but something doesn’t add up

I completely believe that she could be struggling on that income. I’m not blaming her I’m blaming the journalist for not realising (or caring) the numbers in their article don’t add up.

I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation, but I feel like this hardly counts as journalism. They have failed at telling the story.

We have never bought new couches. My main chair is older than I am. But I did sit in a chair in a shop the other day and the back was right up behind my head, a surprisingly hard thing to find for someone tall-ish like me. Almost made me want to buy it.

I hate visiting other people because they have short backed couches that just aren’t person-shaped. Makes me wonder how they sit there for hours.

Can someone remind me where we are on Audacity vs Tenacity? So Audacity got acquired and then the new owner decided to put in telemetry then it was forked and people started moving to the forks like Tenacity but then Audacity reneged and made telemetry opt in instead of opt out and then according to reddit the forks stopped being developed and people went back to Audacity but that was 3 years ago and Tenacity had a release 6 months ago.

Are we using Audacity or Tenacity?

Well I’m stumped! My guess is they guessed at what they spend and underestimated it.

I do wonder why the journalist didn’t ask the question though, then we might have a real answer.

Yeah so some significant things not mentioned are rates and insurance, but they aren’t going to fill that up.

My best guess is some sort of debt. Like credit card or hire purchases, but these would have to be super big to account for half of the in hand income.
