one of the main reasons i switched to posteo was that it only costs 1 euro a month. i dont use email a whole lot so i couldnt really justify paying whatever proton were charging

no im not going to waste my time discussing stats with someone who thinks “american” is a language

a lack of good education is another thing you guys seem to be copying from americans

what language do people speak in Australia?

Wasp uses Python?! does that mean you can make apps and watch faces using python as well?

i had my eye on bangle.js for this reason, to make custom apps, but i havnt been too pushed about having to write them using javascript

whats bazzite like installed on a desktop system? is there a hotkey that lets you switch between the steamdeck mode and the desktop?

even if youve deleted your twitter account dont forget there are redirect extensions that can redirect any twitter links to nitter, just in case you click on a link by accident. its better to be safe than sorry!

it just depends on how much resources the app needs. some need more CPU cores, RAM, or storage than others.

the main selling point with PikaPods is having them manage app installs and the server for you, so youre paying a bit more for that convenience but there are other options that would work out cheaper if you dont mind doing a bit more of the work yourself.

the Zimaboard for example, is a small and cheap SBC similar to something like a Raspberry Pi that has ports to attach an SSD or HDD drive. it comes preinstalled with CasaOS which is a simplified Linux OS that makes it easy to set up drives and it has a similar 1-click install app store to PikaPods.

theres other options like renting servers online from the likes of Hetzner or Netcup and then installing CasaOS yourself, or there are other things that manage app installs like YunoHost or Cloudron. theres almost too many options in a way!

i started out years ago with Synology NAS, which was very expensive up front but also very easy to set up and they have a good selection of web apps that they make themselves with mobile apps that are decent enough. i used that for years and then just gradually learned more about self-hosting over the years, so thats not a bad route to take either if youre interested.

just a FYI, Synology is based in Taiwan, and the Zimaboard company is based in Hong Kong/China. i havnt done much research into EU alternatives yet

dam it anyway, where did you find this out? i switched to their aquafresh toothpaste recently because they were the only other option apart from colegate in the tesco i shop at, and i also read an article from last year that they were relocating the toothpaste manufacturing from somewhere in the uk to slovakia, so i thought i was sorted but maybe not

im counting 4 now, maybe there are more? seems a bit odd to have so much work done on creating the same thing, and relying on people emailing things that are missing and just hoping someone will update their sites. at least isthisfrom.eu has their data on github so you can update it yourself

last album ive been listening to is two star & the dream police by mk.gee

what about yourself?

being able to store things would be a great help. like being able to have all the different flyers that people are making in one place so others can pick and choose what they want, or even have the original .svg or .xcf files if people want to modify them or make a translated version

“We don’t have some kind of platform where we can organise stuff without the algorithm just hiding it after a day”

theres a server/forum on Revolt called “EU Vibes” that would be a bit better for organising things than here or on mastodon. https://rvlt.gg/eSHZgSP9

they mention BuyEuropean and BuyFromEU in their description so im guessing it was set up recently enough.

Revolt is a Discord alternative if anyone isnt familar. its based in the UK but beggers cant be choosers eh!

no problem. send any icing you dont want over to me. i am here to help

its been almost 20 years now that people have been using smartphones where touching the screen is the only way you can do anything. when you notice fingerprints on your phone’s screen you just wipe them off. why would that suddenly be an issue when it comes to laptop screens?
