For a second I thought maybe due to their historical colonial ties to the UK but that logic falls apart when you realize AU and NZ are in a separate region from the UK... so... 🤷‍♂️

As interesting as this is, the thought that one wouldn't patch and restart their system for two years is a bit terrifying from a security perspective.

I use Feeder for RSS. Quite a good, constantly improving app. :)

Wasn't aware there's anything wrong. Albeit more expensive, I prefer to not eat pesticides. 🤷‍♂️

Granted, I'm not sure there are long-term medical studies proving any harmful effect of doing so.

Worth mentioning, as someone has for Kakao below, the LINE app has a magnitude or two or three more features than Signal. Beyond chat, the app handles payments including retail via QR, effectively has Instagram and TikTok built in, has an entire news section, and much more.

Heck, LINE the company even has permanent and pop-up merchandise stores in downtown Tokyo (Harajuku) and their own MVNO mobile carrier called LINE Mobile.

Now that said, I loathe LINE, the app. The UX is poor and the app is bloated behind belief. Only use it effectively out of necessity as someone living in Japan. The only alternative communications channel even remotely close in usage is probably Instagram chat.

I think it's usable for free though I'm not sure to what degree since I picked up a one time payment lifetime plus subscription some years ago. I see it's sadly now only free or monthly subscription. 😔

Have always been curious about AntennaPod. Was about to switch from PocketCasts earlier this year but turns out PocketCasts became open source a little over a year ago, October 2022.

Still curious about AntennaPod but PocketCasts has been and continues to work super well and has a web/desktop (PWA) client so may just stick with it. Mobile app repos below btw.

People might be hating on Majaro in part because they forgot to renew their SSL certificate at least twice and apparently even recommend users change their computer's clock as a local hack fix for their lack of ability automate said certificate, a trivial task these days.

Quick search, looks like it expired in at least 2015 and 2022.

Backlogs are great. Sometimes while working on prioritized tasks the depriorized backlog tasks are made irrelevant and thus you never have to do them and you don't waste effort. Call it strategic deprioritization or perhaps even tactical laziness.

I played a substantial amount of Zelda TotK without the paraglider which made quite a few adventures a lot more treacherous, some borderline impossible, and some actually impossible. 😂

Have always drank tap water. No issue.

The latest Zelda, Tears of the Kingdom, completely reignited my gaming passion. This game is incredible if you enjoy rich world building, exploration and adventure, and puzzle solving.
