@fredldotme How about the Mozilla Location Service?

I eventually came to realise that a lot of the issues I had with my GPS came from testing it indoors, and that I had previously maybe assumed I had GPS coverage when my phone was in fact estimating its position using WiFi networks and such.

@fla @ubports Absolutely! Am already getting my wallpaper from the Astronomy Picture of the Day app that I downloaded mostly to test the open store back in the day. :)

@mfmarchadesch I am self-taught and have been told by confused onlookers I'm knitting backwards - now I'm not sure if what I do is just English style, but I put myself down as an ambi-knitter for good measure.

Maybe I can finally make sense of what it is I'm doing!

@wonderofscience Being used to seeing the moon as a flat disc, seeing it so clearly as a sphere messed with my brain a little.

For more of that, I put together this in cross-eyed 3D! :)

@emanuel Lingot absolutely does the trick!

And for mobile Linux in general, Guitar Tools for Ubuntu Touch is my favourite guitar app regardless of platform. :) open-store.io/app/guitar-tools

@lemmyreader @poVoq So in other words, it's worth testing even on phones not listed as compatible? I will give it a spin, if only to remove some icons from the app drawer.

Waydroid doesn't even work properly on my device, so would be a tall order to expect perfect functionality. :)

Thanks for sharing!

@thelifeofsharks@mastodon.ie This hits hard. I'm beginning to realise I'm probably never going to watch that DVD box set I bought.

@brewsterkahle Considering the power if anger and hatred in generating engagement, I think such a shift would be more impressive than we're probably comfortable admitting.

Moving away from commercial social media platforms would be a start. Maybe this will also be the year Murdoch retires for good. Having a legitimate target for hatred in Putin might sow a seed of unity among all but the too far gone.

More than anything, maybe we're all just tired of the bs. One can hope.

@M4x @sigsegv @najodleglejszy I'm not sure if Waydroid runs on the Nexus 4 - I have a 6P, and last time I checked support was a bit shaky for that one. Could be better for the 4, but I think it's best for newer devices.

It also depends on your needs of course - I've seen people report that android apps are generally very smooth, but I'm not sure if they can for example run in the background and give notifications. Still interesting developments!

@ernmander@floss.social @ubports I see it's listed in Open Store as "Mastodon with notifications". No arguing there!

Look forward to trying it, long awaited. :)

Update: Added the Tom Lehrer albums that he released for free. I got way too many people letting me know about this one, but I get it.

Note that these are mp3 albums and not FLAC, so there's better versions out there. But hey, free, right.

The albums are the first 4 items and the rest are the sheet music he released years ago.

@LucyWildboots No - they stick to the original wording, but ensure that the e-books are well formatted.

Converting old paper books to ebooks is not an easy task, and there tends to be formatting issues with freely available ebooks of public domain works (if you can even find them). Words are messed up, spaces missing, headlines appear as normal text, footnotes weird etc. Standard Ebooks are always a joy to read. :)

Earlier this year, I became aware of STANDARD EBOOKS, a donation-dependent group of edtiors and layout experts who have been doing the amazing work of taking out-of-copyright books, turning them into top-quality ebooks, and then releasing them for free.

Some of the books they've done are in the Internet Archive here:

They're seeking 75 patrons in December to keep themselves afloat, consider donating to this amazing cause.

@thibaultamartin My experience is the opposite - I almost always feel better after a cup of coffee, and in periods when I drink more coffee I feel better than when I drink less. It's not due to addiction - I do not drink coffee every day, and I never suffer from it's absence. But a nice cup of coffee never fails to lighten my day.

There must be individual differences like with everything else. Caffeine is just part of it - it's the ritual, the smell, the taste, the break, the warmth. ☕

@fredbrehm@mastodon.world @pkrugman I guess he has some natural sympathy for crypto considering it's success lately can only be compared to the one he brought on his own party.

@molly0xfff Totally admirable that you have a voice - but have you ever considered how much more powerful that voice could be if you used it to communicate the savoury flavours of Crispy Chunks Cereal™?

@brewsterkahle I got lucky - I always assumed wormholes were part of quantium theory and the force behind sister particles. Not because I connected the two theories like a genius, but because wormholes seem fundamentally impossible for me to understand. Whenever something seems impossible I just assume it's quantium physics.

It terrifies and fascinates me how far I am from understanding these things. My bullshit detector is rendered useless. It's like witchcraft. Amazing.

@tbernard Looks great!!

My immediate thought for a metaphor for a comic book icon woud be one of the onomatopoeia bubbles ("POW! "BANG!"), but I have a hard time imagining how to fit that into design guidelines.

@omgubuntu The photo used for this piece on the front page has me entertained. Well done.
