  • It sounds like you just need to go do some simple searches in the app stores for icon packs that you like. What exactly do you need help with?

    I’m guessing all the downvotes are because nobody wants to be your search agent, and the way you’ve phrased this makes it sound like you’ve put very little effort into finding things for yourself.

    Not to mention getting away from someone who engages in slut-shaming, biphobia, and speciesism. Especially considering that Spock is also an “alien” from her perspective. Doesn’t bode well for a happy relationship for him or her, they’re both better off with his choice here.


  • Since many other comments have focused heavily on technological inventions, I think it makes sense to add some notable cultural impacts on society as well. As with most of the technological inventions mentioned, cultural forces also don’t come out of nowhere and arguably have been around for a lot longer than 100 years, but I think it’s pretty obvious that society within the past 100 years has been and still is being massively affected by the following concepts that did not originate in the USA:

    • feminism
    • civil rights movement (usually seen through a US-focused lens, but is happening everywhere)
    • gay rights movement (esp. in the 1990’s and beyond)
    • gender-spectrum concepts
    • widespread influence of evolutionary theory (even the word “meme” came from a British biologist’s book about evolution)

    FWIW, if you self-host Adguard, you can do those things without needing to bother with touching individual hosts files. It’ll also then just work for every device on your network. Create your own domain and expose adguard via a subdomain and you can just point your phone at your DNS server while you are on external networks too.




  • Like you, I am excited about it for the sake of the community, though I’m hard pressed to find any reason to play games on my Android phone as it is. Android games are either ad infested junk that isn’t interesting to me, or open source and playable on Linux already.

    I’ve messed around with Waydroid because it sounds cool in theory, but every time I get it installed, I’m like “now what?” I can’t think of anything to actually do with it, so I imagine it’ll be the same for Lepton.

    Still, very cool to have the options, and I’m happy that Linux is getting more attention as a preferred platform such that gaming companies recognize the value in supporting translation layers for it.


  • I’m not even sure how you’d figure that out anyway. At this point, the “non AI” content by influencers is likely stuff they or their production team wrote using AI. Everything I accidentally end up seeing that was posted on the big social media platforms feels to me like regurgitated algorithmic AI influenced slop, regardless of whether a meat sack is the performance puppet or not.





  • I guess it depends how tech illiterate they are and where their confusion stems from, but as long as they know what email is, then I like to explain anything in the fediverse by using email as an analogy:

    You know how, with email, you don’t have to care about whether the person you email is using Gmail or Apple or Yahoo or whatever? Email is the kind of message you send, and whoever gets it can use any email app to look at it and reply to you.

    (Insert federated platform name here) works the same as email. You want to post or reply on (Insert federated platform name here)? Use whatever client you like, and it doesn’t matter if the people you’re communicating with use the same client.

    It’s not strictly a perfect analogy, but it’s close enough to get over the usual confusion where people have been conditioned by corporate social networks to expect services to have one and only one blessed app.



  • Sounds like you might want to read about splashback:

    it would not be unlikely for urine droplets to travel a distance of 5 feet to the side of the urinator,” Dr. Truscott tells us in an email. “And if someone were standing next to him, they would most definitely get small droplets OF THE OTHER MAN’S URINE on their pants and shoes

    Your hands are almost certainly getting covered in your own pee unless you’re a sitter. If you’re a sitter, then you’re probably still touching something in the bathroom that someone else peed or splashed on. Either way, wash your hands!
