Similar to Silence, a Signal fork that worked over SMS that I used to use. Glad to see the idea is still alive.

Unless you desperately need to free up room in your tiny SSD to make room for Baldur’s Gate 3. I recently used a tool like this to get rid of a bunch of old logs and things and managed to free up tens of gigabytes of precious space.

We’re all broke.

The joke is that it contains the letter E, which is banned on the instance.

What is broken that it needs to be updated to fix? I use it every day and it works fine.

I am well aware. But if precedent is set that protesting in the streets won’t be allowed going forward, it will have negative ramifications for leftist movements.

In Canada I’m very wary of the current trial against the leaders of the Freedom Convoy for this reason. Popular sentiment at the time of their protest was that they were bad for blocking the road, and what comes from this trial could set precedent that could be used to criminalize climate and social justice protests in the future.

It was really convenient when you could just use one app.

We are here.

Okay but this is literally the racist usage of the word.

They’re not the only ones calling y’all out. Stop defending using racist terms.

I was also very disappointed that the users there voted against the change. The name has a bad history, and there’s no better time to change a community name than when you make a move to a new platform.

This isn’t neatly as big of a change, though. I don’t think a poll should be needed. The mods should just take a stance against racism and enforce that the term not be used.

“Polished,” “tweaked,” or if we want to reclaim a term from the crafters, “bedazzled.”

Thank you for making this post. The number of times I’ve seen the term used here lately has been bothering me.

It’s also racist in car culture.

No, I’m not. I’m saying that downloading from F-Droid is perfectly safe, as they verify all updates before putting them on the repo.

Have you ever used Github? People can’t just push code to the main repo.

And all submissions to F-Droid are checked for this kind of thing.

For any app that isn’t network-facing and that works with protocols that haven’t been changed in a long time, there is no point worrying over how “active” the development is on an app. If nothing has been broken, then nothing needs fixing. My music player has had all the features it needs for a decade, and continues to work to this day. Why change a good thing?

RSS feeds started throwing 429 errors today, like I predicted. They were never going to leave this loophole open.
