Google shuts down Accounts used through AuroraStore, dont use your main Account!
  • Are these considered safe? Do you have to check for updates yourself?

  • Google shuts down Accounts used through AuroraStore, dont use your main Account!
  • Thanks very much for the heads up on this. I try to get most of my apps from F-Droid, but there are a few I still need to get from Google. In a worst case scenario, like if Aurora can't fix this or there isn't something else like Yalp (wait...Yalp?) how will I be able to download gplay store apps? I don't even have a Google account. If I had used Mrs. Swann's G account and it got deleted, I'd probably have to spend the rest of the morning picking up all my teeth off the floor...

  • Make *decryption* screen at boot bigger on LM21.1?

    Can this be done using sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and selecting another font/font size? Really it's just for aesthetic purposes more than anything else.

    publicdomainreview.org The Ether Dreams of Fin-de-Siรจcle Paris

    Those who sipped or sniffed ether and chloroform in the 19th century experienced a range of effects from these repurposed anaesthetics, including preternatural mental clarity, psychological hauntings, and slippages of space and time. Mike Jay explores how the powerful solvents shaped the writings of...

    How comes engagement is so low on lemmy.ml lately?
  • I confess to trying and then leaving lemmy.ml in a huff because I allowed myself to get dragged into an argument with some asshole. I came back (to Beehaw) when I heard about a potential reddit exodus, and thought I'd give it another chance.

  • Millennials and early Gen Z of Lemmy, what did you do for fun before phones became such a huge part of our lives?
  • Listened to CDs, smoked a lot, stared at the walls, cried when appropriate. But then I'm an Xer, so...

    musk is falling deeper and deeper into reactionary thought
  • Could Musk really afford to buy a blue check for himself after losing all that money acquiring twitter? ๐Ÿค”

    Edit: not a joke, but an incredible simulation

  • ๐Ÿ“š Would anyone like to complain about POD (printed on demand) books with me?
  • Indeed! (But before I make my various pronouncements on PODs, I believe it was you I had an exchange about Zola with earlier? Well, the comments seem to have disappeared! Not sure why ๐Ÿค”, but anyway . . . ) Unfortunately for me though, our closest local indie bookstore seems to be in its death throes, and our local Barnes & Noble of course just seems to have lots and lots of nothing interesting. And so (for me anyway) this means ordering books online most of the time, which means not knowing what I'll get when they arrive. Two pro tips for the POD hater that I'll share with you: bookoutlet.com has lots of interesting cheap remainders that are almost never PODs, but even if they are, they're so cheap it won't matter. Also, the kind folks at The Strand in New York told me that any book on their site that is listed as being "In Store" is 99.99% likely to not be a POD. You can also email them and just ask, and they'll check for you. I've gotten in the habit of contacting publishers before I order their books to see whether or not they're POD (and some won't even tell me!), which is kind of a pain to say the least.
