DOOOOOD!! Thank you!!

OK here’s what it is, it’s legit LibreOffice devs which I wasn’t sure of before.

LibreOffice for Android and iOS

The Document Foundation offers a viewer app for LibreOffice documents, with experimental editing support, for Android devices:

• F-Droid
• Google Play

To edit documents, there is a LibreOffice-based product in app stores from Collabora, one of our certified developers and ecosystem members:

• Collabora Office for Android and iOS

(On the Collaboration website)

Now available for F-Droid!

Regularly users have asked us about the availability of Collabora Office for F-Droid, the community driven platform focusing on free and open source apps for Android. And now it’s here! Currently we provide two versions: the 4.2.x release – already longer existing, and the snapshot of the unstable 6.4 line. With the latter you can help us test the latest and greatest features! Something we really appreciate, so do contact us!

However, searching in the F-Droid site app list, you will not find it:

• Add the repo using the F-Droid community How To Guide.
• Add the following third party repository: https://www.collaboraonline.com/downloads/fdroid/repo/.

Gross, no thanks. Don’t use Google!

From Cloudflares’s https://one.one.one.one/: We believe privacy is a right. We won’t sell your data, ever.

That tells me that they do gather data, but in the sense like Apple where they want all your data for themselves, vs actually being private.

A rep from Quad9 joked “we don’t actually know how many people use quad 9 because we don’t track or log any data.”

Yes, for some 1.1.1.1 is WAY better than your ISP! But, being “good enough” doesn’t always mean good.

Impossible to avoid Flock or Axon in my area. I knew there are a lot, but no matter how I slice it, I pass at minimum 4 on the way to work. It’s only a 15 minute drive, too.

Iirc in a documentary, the brain runs on just 13w of electricity, so the more advanced and efficient AI gets, the less power and therefore resources it’ll need. Maybe Johnny’s world is just that advanced lol

I use Porkbun for registrar. Many are at cost with no low price intro to lure you in. I pay $17/yr for my unitedwith.me domain. Free private WHO IS, free SSL through LetsEncrypt, cheap WP hosting.

A shitload of comments and nobody suggests Alt captcha?

Is this more or less what you’re looking for? MIT license, privacy-first anti-bot. Says free, self hostable, open source, too.

Quick, someone find out if there are endangered or protected species living there that would make it a federal crime! Not that the rules really apply anymore, but would buy time until the next presidency maybe. 🤞🤞

While I like Android at its heart, no go for anything Google DE, Googlebook, Chromebook, etc. Then AI sprinkled in is just a hard no… Personally.

CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT TIME!!!

There have been several games I ONLY bought because I pirated it first to play and then purchased. Some games don’t have demos available,

AI, fucked by the very things its copied off of. If AI companies don’t get in trouble, neither should these clones/forks.

Same with pirating content. People only pirate because costs have continuously rose. Otherwise, if it were affordable, no one would need to pirate.

SYK, Apple has little telemetry because they don’t want 3rd party access. Instead, they keep all that data for themselves to build out massive user data profiles, then monetize it mostly anonymously. So while it’s “minimized” somehow, it’s not necessarily better. Apple is just better at not letting everyone get your data ASAP like google. But then again everything is hush hush so it’s hard to tell if they’re actually better.

F Society!

Good one to watch is Mr. Robot. I hope you did that intentionally lol

Oh, well, I should’ve read you’re full description. I eagerly jumped at the suggestion when I saw the funny picture. The sch models are old. Like over a decade 2 decades old iirc. 😔 sorry

Help us, Ecosia!

My solution was getting rid of spanking and adopt a method that Europe is already doing.

Which is?..

I don’t want someone else laying hands on my child, because who knows how it’ll be handled or if handled appropriately. At least it I were to, it’d not go too far because I still love them.

If I discipline at home, it’s because asking calmly or raising my voice to show seriousness wasn’t effective. If I then send them to their room and they’re argumentative it might get more serious. I don’t just go “spanking” for no reason, and it’s definitely not a beating, either. I can’t recall the last time either kid received a spank.

Meanwhile, there were times when my sister and I got out of hand and misbehaved at the store and I’d be spanked right there in public. Or I’d be hit with the belt, or even a wooden spoon at home. I still joke with my parents I have the Betty Crocker logo imprinted on my left cheek!

I think within reason is OK to do because kids learn, “I don’t want to receive this punishment” and so if they get a spanking and are faced with it in the future for acting out or messing up, it’s a known “label” of punishment they want to avoid.

I NEVER was punished for poor academics by being spanked. Usually just grounded from electronics or riding bikes with friends. My parents would day, “let the punishment fit the crime”

I believe I’ll remember the model right, but Samsung SCHi900 & i910.

Well if you’re being interviewed, or passing someone being interviewed, it’d be obvious with cameras and crew there. Those cameras aren’t discreet.

I’m on LineageOS, run full F-Droid, no Aurora store or anything. I have no “Play” apps outside of trying older discontinued “incompatible” (and likely no tracking) games.

I recently found “Universal Installer” on F-Droid, and it’ll tell you if the packages you install have any trackers or ads. Pretty handy.
