Droid-ify is an F-droid frontend, that is also in F-droids repo as an installable app so it’s safe, in this case one of the F-droid repos OP has is actually malicious and is installing a modified version of Signal, the package name is wrong org.thoughtcrimes.securesms, it should be thoughtcrime without the S.

I think Play Protect is intrusive, but this time it actually tried to protect OP from a malicious Signal clone.

I don’t have it but I’ve seen admin/dev comments on this, with 1.0 release they plan to add offline singleplayer, and currently online is required on character select/launch, but losing internet connection during play will not kick you out or interrupt it.

I’m keeping my eye on it and will probably pick it up when offline singleplayer is added, but that being included is the deciding factor on if I’ll get it or not myself, since it’s just a promise for now and those can be broken.

Edit: apparently its already added according to other replies

Just for some extra clarification as not everyone will read the article (not meant rudely), this is $100k to both Godot and FNA each, for a total of $200k, and $1k monthly to them both as well, for a total of $2k per month.

I think if the ability to buy something (from the provider, not ebay/secondhand or whatever) on a valid platform, at a reasonable price, without any BS (ex: bad anticheat/the cracked version provide a better service/etc), and if you can genuinely afford it, then it’s better to just buy the thing. I also believe in supporting indie companies and solo devs, they usually provide fair access anyway but if I can’t get something from them I just go without.

Outside of that, fair game in my opinion. If the seller doesn’t provide fair access to something, they’re basically asking for it.

If someone just doesn’t want to pay, fair game to them as well even if I’m not a fan of that. My views are just what I hold myself to, not what’s right or wrong for everyone.

One for people in the US:

You aren’t taxed at the higher rate for all of your income when you get a raise that puts you in a higher tax bracket, only the part that is in the range of that bracket specifically. The rest of your income below the bracket is taxed the same as before.

I’ve seen a lot of people decline promotions and raises over this, and bosses are very happy to let you continue thinking that’s how it works.

Not sure if that counts as not common knowledge, but a lot of people I know didn’t know it before.

My favorite was Infinity/Eternity for a while, but I tried out Jerboa and it kinda just stuck for me, I really like it

Poll results are pretty interesting so far too

If gesture typing is the same thing as glide/swipe (I don’t really know what the feature is called) then they have this one linked on their page https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard/tree/master/app/src/main/jniLibs

It says they can’t bundle it with the app because they can’t find any open source ones, so the library linked isn’t FOSS I think and made by Google but it should still work if you don’t mind that.

I barely used Reddit and just lurked occasionally, but I dropped Reddit and went back to forums + Lemmy.

I tried to join Lemmy a few years back too but I didn’t stick around long, this time it did stick. Since I tried Lemmy before for a month or two back then it was really easy to just switch back.

It looks like they plan to add it on F-droid sometime, not sure if it will reach gplay though. They originally said no to releasing anywhere but Github but F-Droid is on their roadmap now it seems after a rename and a new icon.

They offer a free tier directly from the Onlyoffice team which is likely enough for what you’re looking for if you’re okay with it being hosted by them, as for hosting it yourself their docs are here

For average use not really, assuming the VPN is reliable and trustworthy, and if by average you mean just regular day to day browsing.

When you start getting into the territory of doing stuff that would actually get investigated, it has some benefits like having a little bit of protection from possibly backdoored servers, MITM, etc.

For regular privacy in day to day, it is an improvement but I wouldn’t consider it worth the latency gain unless absolutely needed.

+1 for OnlyOffice cloud, sounds like exactly what OP is looking for

I’m all for the second USB-C, I feel like this is more likely to possibly happen compared to getting the headphone jack back, plus it would just be useful to have in general

Looks like the Microsoft Store has a 1,500 character limit for the “what’s new” section so definitely not a character limit issue, makes it more strange.

I’d give https://wiby.me a try, its a nice break from all the same 5 sites listed for every search. It priorities small more classic webpages over SEO ones

I find it works best when used in something like searxng along with other engines though to mix them in, since it tends to quite heavily avoid listing those sites, they’re useful sometimes but not when they dominate the results.

They’re still active but it’s slowed down a little. Their activity is spread out across a lot of different repos so some look inactive, sort repositories by last updated at the bottom of the page here to see the current activity https://github.com/revoltchat.

edit: iirc they’re also in the process of doing a major UI rewrite, not sure if certain parts of that are public yet or how far along they are on it.
