Yea I know about it but you can't make any of the modern memes with it. It only supports top and bottom text memes, which have been outdated for a couple of years now.

"Anyone can download the app, but free users will be given a 14-day trial to test drive it.'

So it's only for premium users ?

Good to see some Sway love in here. Been using it for a year or so and it works great

I did an experiment where I used Distrobox for many apps not available on Debian. I installed an Arch distrobox and exported the packages. I found that it works great with simple programs, but I run into a few issues when using more complex programs. Jellyfin Media Player for example tended to have a memory leak and have a core dump on the desktop whenever it is closed. It uses twice as memory as the Flatpak for some reason. I had the same issue with Stremio which is also a video streaming app. For command line things it's mostly fine. But this too can get tricky. I tried to use Neovim (Debian's is a bit old) in the Arch distorbox. The issue is that if you need plugins that require some dependency with a given version then you have to also install those and export them which makes things messy. For example you may have a version of Nodejs on your Debian install but you'll need to install Nodejs on the distorbox too and export it. It's the same with many packages like that. You'll run into some issues and waste time trying to figure out where is it coming from. Is it your machine or the distorbox? I ended up just building from source. Overall it's a great project and might work for some software that you need. But it's not something you can always rely on for everything. The app devs are not testing for that specific use case. It's so great for testing and installing stuff and then destroying when you don't need it anymore.

There's a fork called Fossify that is expected to replace the Simple Mobile Tools. There's a Gallery and File Manager app already. I am not sure how it's different from the pro version though. It's a fork of the Simple Gallary app that was in Fdroid.

I never claimed Trump never said stupid shit, but there are many instances where it's so clickbaity which actually really helps Trump and his supporters. The appeal of Trump is that he posits himself as persecuted by the "woke mob" and "radical left". He also depicted as someone "saying it as it is" and saying what the "establishment" doesn't want you to say. There's some theoretical work that studies how this happens, and I think many leftists rarely pose the hard question of why he is having a mass appeal. It's not sufficient to just say "people bad and racist" and move on. The modern right succeeded in tricking everyone into seeing the left as this policing and hegemonic force out there trying to force you to say the right thing. It's so ironic given that the right is the actual hegemonic and moralize force. The trick that they pulled is spectacular tbh and usually the left plays right into their hsnds. The fact that Trump says bad shit is not gonna harm him. That's his entire appeal. It's funny that leftist media thinks the more they show he said bad shit the more unlikely he'll be supported. It's the exact opposite. It's the classic childish tragressive thing of "I am gonna say exactly what they want me not to say". We are in the age of the "rebel punk" right, which is so fuckin ironic. Of course it's not rebel or punk but they are formally in that positionz while the leftist is cast as the polished professor telling you what to say and what not to say. You can easily see the appeal of the right if you look at it this way, and see how this "trump said a bad thing" is exactly why he is popular.

The Arabic "muakhirah" means something like "the behind". Funny enough, it shares some roots with the word "muta'akhir" which means "being late" and "akhir" which means "the latest". It's polite and used even in some dialects to just refer politely to it. Every dialect though has other specific words that are more vulgar. Some are different in every country. Egyptians would use "Tiz" to refer to it and Moroccans would use the more vulgar "Zok". Middle Eastern countries also often use "Tiz".

 

I love Firefox and I used it on and off for many years. Right now I am using Brave because I just prefer the look and feel of it. I want to move to Firefox again but I just can't stand the way the tabs look on Firefox. They are too big and ugly and it's not great on a laptop, etc. Once you have a few open then they are not readable anymore. What are some ways to change the look?

 
 

Basically the title.

More details : My gf's teacher basically sent them a link to download a pirated version of Photoshop to work on some minor thing. We live in a developing country where piracy is the norm even in universities and the like, because no student has the means to buy it. I just want to know if it's likely safe to download from there.

 
 

I recently suggested Mastodon to a friend and she is using it on IOS. She sent me a picture of her visiting an account and the name shows as @username@herusername@mastodon.social

This doesn't happen for all accounts and I personally never noticed it. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be that way ?

Edit: She is using the "official" Mastodon app
