That was my first thought too; would this improve treatment for serious burn victims and such. Sounds like what they’ve made is better overall for sticking to applied surfaces and moving without tearing. Heck, maybe this could even lead to prosthetics that allow physical sensation

Bad times tend to pass. I find myself forgetting in the moment sometimes and yeah, life is frequently enjoyable in lots of different ways, so I try to remember that.

IMO, they generally replace a period, comma or exclamation when used. In the cases where it’s a necessary question mark or something like that, I’d put the emoji after👍

I see where people might think that if you’re just looking at the immediate context from the October 7th attacks, but I urge you to look into the conditions Palestinian people had been living under for decades, especially in Gaza. Rather than vengeance, when you look into the history, the October 7th attacks feel more like an excuse to go full throttle into carrying out what the Israeli government and hardcore Zionists already been trying to do for a while now.

Took my meme addled brain way too long to remember Chad is also a country

I’ve been using this a few months and recommend it as well. It’s serviceable but feels a bit janky. Scrolling and switching between view styles tends to leave black boxes on my device, and the UI doesn’t always disappear while scrolling. But I’d still recommend it for how light and fast it is on top of being FOSS

Truth. I was genuinely angry seeing how Spotify kept trying to buy up everything podcast related. Felt like I was screaming into the void about how platform exclusive podcasts are antithetical to the free and open nature of podcasts. I hope their billions of dollars invested into podcasts continue to bite them in the butts.

Somehow I think Podcasts will survive enshittification. The basis is just RSS and file hosting, so at its core, it’s possible to create and distribute podcasts without huge capital investment. There’s always gonna be some people trying to get their voices out and Podcasts still seems to be the easiest way to do that so until some better method comes out, podcasts will live on.

If you’re talking about Podcast networks, streaming services, ad networks, then yeah, those might face some kind of enshittification and destruction, but no matter what, I’m pretty confident some good podcasts, and some good ways to listen to them, will stick around.

Lists and prep.

To be fair, my issues were not clinical, but having plans for dealing with whatever was the trigger for my anxious thoughts and feelings always left me with the feeling of “oh, this is manageable” or “this is too out of my control to worry about” and both thoughts bring relief.

I used to sail the seas like freakin Luffy, but Netflix and Steam (plus becoming a wage earning adult) got me on the straight and narrow for a good long while. Then when all the different services started to compete I started dipping my toes in the water again with some sense of guilt. But after various struggles getting Netflix running in different locations I frequent and my parents not being able to use my account anymore, I have no shame flying the Jolly Roger.

You’ve described my perfect smart watch. I hate the rush for features and better brighter touch screens when all I want is a non intrusive notification device that won’t accidentally call my boss fat when my wrist grazes any other part of my skin.

The Pebble was too good and spoiled my opinion of every smart watch I’ve used since.

I believe the joke is calling Apple old fashioned for still sticking to a proprietary cable and/or calling proprietary cables old-fashioned in general. But also, Apple will be switching the iPhone cables to USB-C next gen iirc, so maybe it’s also old fashioned that way?

I mean, if privacy is really your concern you really shouldn’t use a UK servers at all or any other country that’s part of the Five Eyes (or other such alliances https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes).

Also, people use VPNs for different reasons, like not wanting your workplace to know your browsing Lemmy during office hours. This is such a strangely confrontational post considering people seem to just be trying to help OP troubleshoot their problem.

On the original point, I can’t seem to access APKPure either, VPN connected to Singapore. Might try other connections when I’m not at work.

But seriously, I do imagine they’ve been fed enough propaganda about “the enemy” willing to do anything that naked people with a white flag can still look like Hamas trying to trick them. Fucked up

I read AC as Animal Crossing first and was so confused, especially about the power fantasy part.

For any other idiots like me, I think it’s supposed to be Assassin’s Creed? Correct me if I’m wrong

Legit, why do simple apps like timers need updates? Makes me wonder what kind of bloat features (or spyware??) they’re adding.

That’s what I thought, but when I search for Onenote alternatives it’s always at or near the top of every list.

No, first time hearing about it. Every source I looked at talks about Zim or Joplin, but Xournal looks good! So far between this and Rnote I’ve got good contenders for my note-taking app.

The handwriting here looks absolutely amazing! Just can’t see if this is a cross device thing from the site, don’t see a lot of documentation.

So far this one looks the most like what I’m familiar with, so probably will try it first! The save format not being stable might be a deal breaker for now though as like I said, I move between devices a lot.
