So long as politicians are all painted with the same negative brush, there’s no room for anyone with a genuine interest in improving things. There are some truly great, caring people in politics working hard to do the right thing. It’s not their fault the public keeps voting for assholes.

How do you test for lead though?

How the hell do I find cinnamon that didn’t have lead in it?

This has very Radicalised vibes.

Who do you think the rich steal from?

It would gBoard’s autocorrect got one final dig in. I did indeed mean Heliboard, and I’ve now installed it with the glide extension and… it’s great! Thanks for the reference!

What does Tubular do for you that the stock New Pipe doesn’t? I’m also curious about neighbours, as I’m still using gBoard and I’d rather switch to something else that still supports swipe-typing.

I just went through F-Droid and counted out all the projects I have on my phone. At £5 each I’m looking at an annual bill of about £70/year… Bargain.

Thanks for the idea!

Well I just tried it again, and while it won’t let me take a screen shot on the lock screen, it’s definitely still the case for me. It just sits there ringing with the pattern lock on the screen and a little “Return to call” button at the bottom of the screen.

Could be. I do remember trying to get it to work a number of ways at the time. If you’re telling me that this isn’t the case for you though, I might try it out again.

I used this for a while, but every time my phone rang I had to type in my pin to answer it which was a deal breaker for me.

GitLab. The CI is fantastic.

GIMP is alright. Mostly I stick to it because Krita’s dependency on QT means it looks and works differently from everything else in my GNOME environment.

To be clear, I’m not throwing shade. That’s an impressive piece of software. It’s just, given the number of stories I’ve heard (and experienced) about Bash’s tricky syntax leading to Bad Things, I’m less comfortable with running this than I would be with something in a language with fewer pitfalls.

But if others take the chance and it sticks around a bit, I’ll come around ;-)

Thanks for the contribution! It’s a great idea, and with Google fucking about with blocking things like NewPipe, a project like this is a great answer to that.

That looks really impressive, but at nearly 1000 lines of Bash, I’m afraid I’m not comfortable running it on my machine. My Bash-foo isn’t strong enough to be sure that there isn’t a typo in there that could nuke my home folder.

If it does, we can worry about it then, but at present there’s no reason for them to do so. Chrome is deprecating v2 because it conflicts with their advertising mandate. Firefox’s goals are vastly different.

Just use Firefox already.
