  “Seal downloader” from the Playstore and “Seal” from F-Droid are 2 very different apps. One is a a clone riddled with ads, the other one is FOSS goodness. You are free to guess which is which.

  I was very interested in the thumbnail of this post so I did a little digging and found this: The PDF to the Paper where the whole picture is

  That would be “accepting the premise of assholes” as Louis Rossman would say.

  Wild theory: could it have been malicious compliance? Maybe the dev got a written notice to do it that way from some incompetent manager.

  I am pretty certain my Audi 80 from 1994 doesn’t know anything about me. Can’t opt out, if it doesn’t collect anything.

  The App (Drip) gives you after about 3 months acurate times on when the period should start. If you want accurate fertility tracking your girlfriend will have to measure her basal temperature (ar best daily) and either look out for changing cervical mucus or change in cervix opening/hardness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ultraviolet light can kill almost all the viruses in a room. Why isn’t it everywhere?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An actually halfway decent idea might be adding a strong UV light inside the washing machine or dryer to kill germs. Modern eco methords with 30-40 C° just dont kill the germs effectively. You’d need to wash your clothes at last at 60C° which most clothes (especially sports wear) cant handle anymore. Or just dry them on the outside where we also have a Strong UV source aka. The sun.

  I recently installed wolf launcher on my android tv. It works like a charm. I also sideloaded most apps that I regularly use, and for my ease of use I installed f-droid on my Tv. I would also recommend getting a Bluetooth keyboard with trackpad combo. Only problem is that Android TVs need to be restarted once in a while or it’s prone to crashing, at least mine is.
