I’ve played a good bit of FTL and never felt like I knew what I was doing.

I actually noticed recently that it’s no longer maintained so I’ll have to find another desktop solution.

Just upgraded to 0.0.36 from fdroid (likely Izzy repo because I doubt fdroid was that fast compiling this newest version released yesterday) and I’m having the same issue. Can’t get my home page to show me anything but local/active. Suppose I’ll be downgrading until they get it fixed.

For me at least jerboa isn’t really functional for searching for new communities, let alone instances. You’re better off in your mobile browser. And even then you’ll only find instances that are already federated with your home instance (meaning someone on you home instance will have had to search and subscribe to one of the communities on the instance you’re trying to find). Your best bet for finding instances is actually outside websites like https://join-lemmy.org/instances or other websites dedicated to listing and sorting instances.

On desktop I use Tildes. It’s fairly minimalistic in terms of features, but very smooth and attractive UI. It does what I need with no headaches and looks great doing it. Like many others here I use AntennaPod on mobile.

This is fixed on the new version of the app! You can get it on F-droid with the IzzyOnDroid repo, or build it directly with Obtainium

The loss of RvW has meant that certain states have essentially outlawed all abortions, and I believe others have tightened restrictions beyond what they would have been allowed to before, while still technically allowing them under the right conditions. Practically what that means is many many people now have to travel out of state (sometimes across multiple states to the nearest abortion friendly state) in order to access safe abortions. Unfortunately some states (Texas and maybe others) have even outlawed going to a legal state for an abortion. Texas has also passed a law that allows for regular people to “report” their neighbors if they suspect they’ve gotten an abortion.

Even though in many places it’s still legal to travel to another state for an abortion, for poorer people this is often entirely cost prohibitive because many southern states are completely surrounded by anti-abortion states. The distant travel problem is further exasperated by our countries general lack of public transportation (trains and buses are more expensive here and have very limited routes). Add to that again the fact that the vast majority of our work force, especially low paid workers, have none or very little paid sick leave.

Essentially the wealthy in most of the country can still access safe abortion by taking a short vacation to a nearby state, whereas poorer folks might find it extremely difficult or impossible to afford the necessary travel, let alone the cost of our notoriously expensive healthcare.

I use Aegis for 2FA and keepassdx for password management. Syncthing keeps everything synced across devices without any effort on my part.

Haha you aren’t alone in using bromite for months without noticing it’s no longer maintained.

+1 for bromite-buildtools https://github.com/uazo/bromite-buildtools

On mobile I use bromite-buildtools maintained by Uazo on github. I’ve read they were involved with bromite when it was still actively maintained and have been continuing to improve it and keep it up to date with chromium upstream. I use Obtainium to keep it updated since it’s not on fdroid or Izzy.

On desktop I keep it simple with FF and ublock
