Really? I don’t think I’m using a beta release and I’m glide typing this message. I might have gotten the apk off of Github rather than F-Droid but I honestly don’t remember, been using this keyboard for a few months now.

Absolutely. I understand if private schools wanna create an image of discipline through uniforms age dress code, but for a public school to go this far? Crazy

This is crazy, I imagine they’re never seen a Sikh boy then? In my part of the world I’ve seen several faith based schools that made exemptions to hair dress code stuff for Sikh students. The Sikh religion, if I understand correctly, means they don’t make any modifications to their body, including hair. What’s the difference here? Why make such a big deal of this?

Nope, just a simple app for writing text files. If you want you can save those files to the cloud but for myself, there’s a lot if times where I just want to draft something quick on my phone and it’s my go to

Simple Text Editor

FOSS text editor for when you just literally wanna write something down without any weird bloat and without having to deal with Google. Available on F-Droid.

Also, OpenBoard for a FOSS keyboard with swipe typing. Also available on F-Droid

You know what, I think F-Droid is actually my hidden gem app. I’m sure most Lemmy users use it, but I don’t think I know anyone else IRL who does, so hidden gem might not be accurate depending on perspective.

A lot of Podcast creators I wish were independent. I listen to a lot of former How Stuff Works network podcasts, but they were bought up by I Heart Radio and I just hate the constant throwing to random ads. At least they still are able to say whatever they want it seems, as evidenced by Behind The Bastards, but yeah, wonder what going independent would even look like for them

Empty land? My man, they’re literally kicking people out of their homes and moving settlers in, there’s videos and reports from multiple sources. It’s not the vast empty plains of the wild west after the natives died to disease.

Vox did a great report a while back where they talked to a guy who was moved into a house a family was kicked out and his justifications for moving in and the struggles he faces in the neighborhood. The focus though was the family who got kicked out and their efforts to get it back.

I’d link the video but I don’t wanna link YouTube and I’m sure you could find these kind of reports if you wanted to.

Seconding this. I switched over to discuss.online recently and was surprised when I suddenly couldn’t use Sync. Took a good while before I happened upon the admin post about the issue so now I’m back to Lemmy.world on Sync

Yes, been loving BG3 but my best experiences with games in recent years have all been indie, from Outer Wilds that made me completely rethink what a game experience is meant to be, to Vampire Survivors that tickled all the right parts of my brain into making me spend hours watching pixels flash on screen in the most mind-numbingly addictive way. Indie devs really seem to be carrying forward the soul of gaming that larger gaming companies have lost, the exceptions being so rare that Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting lauded for basically meeting what would have been normal expectations for a AA title in the early 2000’s

Leatherman to me is synonymous with “multitool with foldout pliers” as I believe they popularized if not invented the form. I think if you’re into multitools you know the name, up there with Victorinox and Gerber. It’s my preferred form factor for a multitool, I get way more use out of the pliers/wirecutters than pretty much anything on a Swiss army style multitool. Leatherman had an amazing tiny keychain model, the Squirt PS4, that I would recommend for keeping in your pocket but it was recently discontinued, and their other keychain tool, the Micra just isn’t as good imho

So, I knew a girl who went to a Japanese international school in my South East Asian home country where the Japanese did some utterly horrendous things during WWII. She told me the school took them to a war museum kinda place on a field trip and basically shouted at them like “LOOK AT WHAT YOUR PEOPLE DID!” until the whole room of grade school kids were crying about how sorry they were. So at least outside of Japan there seems to be some (perhaps over the top) education about the atrocities committed by the Japanese government to Japanese students, but I agree, most of the Japan educated Japanese people I’ve spoken to are just vaguely aware that they did some bad stuff before they got nuked.

Was gonna say, it’s the perfect statement for a Gura fan to make when encountering a shark.

I just bought an electric motorbike, design is like a Vespa. I love it. Top speed kinda sucks but I love it. I’d love to take a train or bus instead but there is literally no line between my work and home that doesn’t involve a longer walk than the ride itself.

I think it’s like, when you have a horrible breakup and you keep wanting to hear about the horrible things happening in your ex’s life that justifies you leaving them and/or gives you some sweet schadenfreude.

Thank goodness we can trust everyone to care for one another and act appropriately after all the lessons learned from COVID 19. /s

They did come up with a good one over at sh.itjust.works

I’m gonna take this back a bit cause my understanding of the All tab has changed significantly from people’s responses. It seems choosing a larger instance is better for discovery, cause the All tab you see is just what people in your instance are subscribed to only, not all of the federated lemmy instances and communities. So I’m going to stick with a large instance for now (lemmy.world), then if I see a lot of content better fitting what I’m looking for on another instance, join that, or at least make an alt there.

This is the best explanation of the difference between Subscribed, Local and All that I’ve run into so far. I thought I understood the All tab but apparently that was a huge misconception I had before asking this question.
