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…

Don't use it any more myself, but my inner graphic designer gets really excited about new logos

Uh, not sure how Mrs. Swann would feel about that . . .



Make *decryption* screen at boot bigger on LM21.1?
cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/403267 > Can this be done using `sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup` and selecting another font/font size? Really it's just for aesthetic purposes more than anything else.

I’m probably being too simplistic here as usual, but the solution seems to be in plain sight: falling office occupancy? Lack of affordable housing? 🤔 Of course landlords are probably still waiting to see if businesses come back before they have to spend a dime on rennovations. I might suggest government incentive$ to landlords, except that I suspect this would be a giveaway to people who are already quite wealthy.



The "return to the office" won’t save the office
Not sure this is the best sublemm (*sublem*, sublemmy, subhaw?) to post this to, but anyway...

Has anything good ever come out of SpaceX? Despite all his other stupidities, I’m under the impression, mainly from reading ars (technica), that this endeavor of his maybe isn’t so bad🚀. Actually, if he had just kept his mouth shut I might still think that he wasn’t such a bad guy.


That’s what I thought the FAQ said, but probably read it too fast 🙂


It looks like they’re going to start charging sometime this year? This awakens my inner cheapskate until I remember that I’m happily paying for tutanota and mullvad, and that that’s what (hopefully!) eliminates their need to spy on their users and monetize all your data. Will definitely have a look🙂👍️


Listened to CDs, smoked a lot, stared at the walls, cried when appropriate. But then I’m an Xer, so…



What Matrix client is most like Signal?
I like the look of Syphon, but it's in alpha

Newer reactors are designed to be cooled by other methods such as, IIRC, liquid metal. Water-cooled reactors were, again IIRC, originally designed for nuclear submarines. Watch the documentary if you have an hour to kill, it’s really interesting!


Wait, has Zuck officially dumped this?


For anyone who is understandably anti-nuclear, I would say watch this documentary first before voting against it.



Well, it’s the thought that counts, right? 🙂


Also, didn’t know about 12ft.io–a great find!
