@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. :) https://open-store.io/app/guitar-tools.t-mon
@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! #ubuntutouch
@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 @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.
@molly0xfff Ah, right - wasn't clear from the slideshow, and I'm clearly not well-informed enough. Making the list is obviously impressive in its own right, doing so with a self-hosted critical blog is beyond. Hats off.
Love the irony of the web3 developers two slides down.
@werefreeatlast Upon reading the article, I guess the clubhouse metaphor seems to be aimed at the local feed, which I imagine is a bit of a journalist club on journa.host.
I mean, fair enough. That is one way of using the platform.
The fact that content is not automatically shared far and wide to people who never asked to see it is, I can imagine, a substantial downgrade from the perspective journalistic users. Also fair. Not sure it's potent criticism, but fair.
@werefreeatlast @adamdavidson Which would make it more like a regular bar than a clubhouse - you don't get to set the rules, but as long as you abide by the norms of the establishment you're free to hang out.
I guess the clubhouse metaphor would be appropriate if it was important for everyone to be on the same server. Considering, however, that the whole point of Mastodon is that we're on different servers, it seems like a backwards way of describing the platform.
@EUIPO Did they file a trademark for an iTunes screenshot?
