Enjoyer of open source. Lover of good people. Aspiring author and UI dev.
I ran into one called SimpleX recently. No accounts or anything and you can host your own chat instance. Downside: The app either needs a constant spot in your notifications or will otherwise only check for messages every ten minutes.
The desktop app is pretty rough to use, as well.
Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend’s account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I’ve never seen this. Figures they’d nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.
Hope an alternative comes someday; I’ve always disliked LinkedIn.
Three. Depending on where you are in the U.S., a toilet is also a “can”. It’s more of a slang meaning, but if you ever hear an American saying they’re “going to go hit the can,” it means they’re going to use the bathroom.
I’m in the same boat. My partner and I are extremely excited for a new start and can’t wait to get away from some things here, but the apartment we have lined up is fairly smaller than what we have now.
To top it off, there’s another apartment with a beautiful screen in porch on the same floor, but it’s a tiny efficiency apartment. The worst part is that that tenant will have to walk through our part of the porch to get to the stairs. I’ve rented long enough to know that you don’t always get great neighbors, so not looking forward to that.
My new landlord is my brother in law and he wanted to combine the apartments and just charge us a bit more, but my sister didn’t want to lose the money of having two apartments up there. I understand that, but it’s such a nice one bedroom apartment and the two bedroom feels like a bunch of tiny boxes nailed together.
The area is extremely rural and my gf will have to commute a bit longer to get to her transferred job, but we think it’s well worth it despite all that. I’d say give it a try and see what you think. If it doesn’t work great, view your other options from there. It sounds like you’re both looking for a change either way.
I thought about this a few times at my last job, but unfortunately the job was solo work and if no one showed up, the whole contract would have been rescinded. My boss certainly abused my sense of responsibility, though.
That was a fun watch, lol! I should find one to set for my girlfriend. I had it set to the Daria theme song a long time ago. It’s one of her favorite shows and she has a dry and jaded sense of humor to match it.
I had to in my case. I worked for a company that was contracted out and had an on site boss. So instead of something like management calling me from the work phone, it was always the boss that did it from her personal cell.
My ex-fiancee and ex-girlfriend for 7 years was getting hit on by our boss. She used to brag to me about it. They started texting back and forth until suddenly she wanted to “just be friends” with me (which entitled “benefits”).
This was all about a month before our wedding. So naturally I declined being “friends” and slept with her bride’s maid. We decided the sex was good enough to try dating.
That was 12 years ago now.
I was a little sad to see that my icon pack foregoes this feature, but I can’t see myself using a different one. Delta icons on F-Droid has so much coverage (10k+), are free, and they’re so clean looking.
Plus I’m using Chrono as my default clock and alarms.
Would be useful, but I can’t think of anything that would do this. A bot that scraped the chosen song’s links from popular streaming services would be pretty neat and, to my knowledge, possible. I’ve seen it done with stuff like Skyrim mods or MTG Card linking on Reddit.
That’s enough from you, gregorium.
I found a cool little app on F-Droid called Gramophone. It has neat little animations that make me happy, and it can color the player controls according to album art. I’m a sucker for nice UI. I was using Auxio before that. Both are good.
If you want something for ad-less streaming, RiMusic is really nice. For local audiobook playback with chapter selection, Voice is the best I’ve found so far.
It’s the PP in your heart that matters.
You mean like feeling bad about stupid things you’ve done (that most likely weren’t that stupid or embarrassing) and then feeling bad because you always feel bad about those things when normal people probably don’t? Yuh.
I should look into Jellyfin myself. I really need to introduce myself to containers. It’s something I should familiarize myself with as a Linux user, but I just barely got done learning the basics of WINE prefixes.
There’s not much that combines these two apps together like this, but there are separate alternatives. Nova Player for hosted media (I use Plex on my Raspberry Pi), Antennapod is one of many many podcast forks (most open source podcast apps use the same layout).
For listening to android localized audio books, I absolutely love Voice. Voice does have chapters built in as long as your audio books have them. You can pick up Voice and Nova Player for free on F-Droid if you want to try them out. Plex and Pi are a little more involved.
IF you needed the storage and badly, then I remember Hiren’s BootCD used to come with a tool to scan for and quarantine bad sectors. However, this is just a bandaid on top of an infected wound.
The wound will keep spreading, eating up precious backup files. I’ve only ever used quarantining once on my mother in law’s laptop because she had to wait weeks to get a new drive, due to the Philippines flooding back then.
Also, this was an old copy of BootCD that ran through terminal prompt, not a built in Windows PE, and I believe the tool I used has been removed. However, it seems to be replaced with a few alternatives.
That’s hopefully the plan if that time does come. Two of my three sisters lived at home and single while raising their first kids, so I tried to help them out as much as I could. I wouldn’t be completely blind going in. I’d be fretting a lot at first, though. The world would seem much more dangerous with a kid to worry about.
Not for the lack of trying though. They’ve been trying to destroy alternative frontend apps for a while, but the devs just keep rolling out workarounds. You know when your app is buffering endlessly that is time to check for an update.
Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.
I’ve not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it’s made of.
