The Swann’s posts do not necessarily imply endorsement, so please don’t kill the messenger, 'kay? 🙂
Are these considered safe? Do you have to check for updates yourself?
Can you recommend some?
Thanks very much for the heads up on this. I try to get most of my apps from F-Droid, but there are a few I still need to get from Google. In a worst case scenario, like if Aurora can’t fix this or there isn’t something else like Yalp (wait…Yalp?) how will I be able to download gplay store apps? I don’t even have a Google account. If I had used Mrs. Swann’s G account and it got deleted, I’d probably have to spend the rest of the morning picking up all my teeth off the floor…
Also, learn how one Barstucks barista was fired for closing the blinds!
Really?! 😵💫
🤔 Hmmm…
But stagecraft that nonetheless downgraded the US’s credit rating the last time they pulled this shit, yes? Who’s more guilty here, the Republicans for their ongoing and suicidal stupidity or the Dems for being able to put a stop to this BUT NOT DOING IT? 😠
Here’s another take on this, if anyone’s interested: https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2023-05-10-vox-undertow-corporate-democrats/
I confess to trying and then leaving lemmy.ml in a huff because I allowed myself to get dragged into an argument with some asshole. I came back (to Beehaw) when I heard about a potential reddit exodus, and thought I’d give it another chance.
Listened to CDs, smoked a lot, stared at the walls, cried when appropriate. But then I’m an Xer, so…
The state I’m in, thankfully, has an assault weapons ban. If the corrupt and illegitimate SC strikes down all assault weapons bans, I really hope that our Governor will have the stones to stand up to them and say: no, not here, not ever. Remember, the SC can make decisions but can’t enforce them; that’ll be up to President DeSantis if he wants to start Civil War II.
There seems to be some discontent about this over on the FF CSS subreddit; has mozilla screwed up the UI again?
Could Musk really afford to buy a blue check for himself after losing all that money acquiring twitter? 🤔
Edit: not a joke, but an incredible simulation
I always get nervous when they announce a new version because I’m worried that they’ll keep taking customization options away.
Indeed! (But before I make my various pronouncements on PODs, I believe it was you I had an exchange about Zola with earlier? Well, the comments seem to have disappeared! Not sure why 🤔, but anyway . . . ) Unfortunately for me though, our closest local indie bookstore seems to be in its death throes, and our local Barnes & Noble of course just seems to have lots and lots of nothing interesting. And so (for me anyway) this means ordering books online most of the time, which means not knowing what I’ll get when they arrive. Two pro tips for the POD hater that I’ll share with you: bookoutlet.com has lots of interesting cheap remainders that are almost never PODs, but even if they are, they’re so cheap it won’t matter. Also, the kind folks at The Strand in New York told me that any book on their site that is listed as being “In Store” is 99.99% likely to not be a POD. You can also email them and just ask, and they’ll check for you. I’ve gotten in the habit of contacting publishers before I order their books to see whether or not they’re POD (and some won’t even tell me!), which is kind of a pain to say the least.
Thanks! Will do
