Well... If this isn't a TIL, I don't know what is ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Favorite FOSS apps - favorite finds of 2024 in c/fdroid@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] minyaen@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Most of the time it's gplay, if the app is on it... Probably because the developer gets the most traffic through there. Sometimes its days to weeks earlier if its on gplay. Others, github/fdroid is a toss up. Pretty similar

Absolutely. I end up using it in conjunction with gplay and fdroid to see which ones are updated sooner. Very useful.

Did someone actually quit smoking after using a vape? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[โ€“] minyaen@lemmy.ml 27 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

I quit not only because of vaping and tobacco-less nicotine pouches, but because I wanted it. If you are buying it for a family member, you can't make them quit... Hopefully they are wanting to, because you can't make that decision for them. Just like any other addict.

I'd imagine it being a bit like shift working

Grammy, here's your Christmas gift: Crypto! (hackernoon.com)
 

There are many reasons why grandma won't appreciate cryptocurrency... But, either way, have you given currency as a gift at Christmas? I've certainly been on the receiving end, and it seemed a bit inconsiderate, ya know?

Wizard of Legend - Free (www.pcgamesn.com)
 

One of the better unknown games I've played. It's free right now. Give it a go if you like rogue-like/souls-like types. Very rewarding gameplay (and pretty difficult).

Wasn't intended to be that. Good point though, thanks for the feedback

Star Wars - Is it a mess? (lemmy.ml)
 

Does anyone else think Star Wars is a bit muddled? This may be a bit of an unpopular opinion, but I haven't delved into much of it outside the OG 4-6, 1-3, Mandalorian, and a couple games. It just seems that there is sooo much out there. Are they cohesive?

Excellent point. Hopefully it will as it seems like its in the scope of AI capability.

Touche. This post came off a bit rash, words matter. ๐Ÿ‘

Excel started development thousands of years ago (www.datafix.com.au)
 

In actuality, this is fascinating! A spreadsheet from a time when dates were referenced by the conclusions of major events. Wonder if someone got back paid for their ancestors' work developing excel though ๐Ÿ˜‰

This is quite tragic (www.theguardian.com)
 

A part of the job, nonetheless. I can only hope they were provided counselling during their time working at meta. If not, this would be a major oversight by the company. There are certain people for this job... Not one for everyone, obviously.

Sometimes people perplex me in that some of the most fundamental things aren't known to the newer generations (albeit, some of the older ones too, but not nearly as many). Nonetheless, I bet there are people that will TIL this! And you know what, have at it, obtain that knowledge ๐Ÿ‘

I'm looking for web mail providers, what do you recommend? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml
[โ€“] minyaen@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Thirded. Came from Proton even. It's been solid for sure!

Use it daily with a couple applications. Namely Thunderbird on Android and Mailbird on Windows.
