What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • To my knowledge, they're not very common in the US because their low voltages in households means that kettles take ages to boil.

  • You didn't bought it you rented it!
  • My magical washing machine somehow knows how to do those things without an internet connection.

  • Do you have plans for the fall?
  • 'Fall' is not used to describe autumn in most places outside the US.

  • What free websites/applications do you recommend for mild convenience?
  • Do you use them both? If so, what purpose does each serve for you?

  • Let's spread out lemmys userbase so that a single instance can't take out large chunks of the network
  • If you have any experience hosting stuff it's really easy to do using Lemmy-Ansible.

    I made my own instance for fun and decided to open it up for the few people who might be interested in joining.

  • What is a technology/gadget you refuse to use and why?
  • Where do you find a non-smart TV these days? Seems like nobody makes them anymore

  • Aurora Store on non rooted devices
  • Just in case the issues you're referring to are the 'This account is rate limited' problem when trying to search for apps while using an anonymous account, I've found a workaround:

    1. Make sure Aurora Store has permission to open supported links (Open by default) in the app's settings, and add the available Play Store links. (If you have the Play Store on your phone you'll likely need to first remove them from there)

    2. Search for the app you want in your browser and copy the link.

    3. Paste the link in a messaging/notes app.

    4. Click the pasted link and it should open in Aurora Store, allowing you to install it.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
  • In settings there's a 'Gestures & Glide typing' option. It does say that it currently only supports US English, so if you have another language set that could be the issue?

    That's also meant to be changing with the next major release though.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
  • I suppose it's only really an issue if you use that feature, though I rarely did, even when I was still using Gboard 🤷 Apart from that Florisboard is really solid.

  • What open source keyboard alternative you suggest instead of gBoard on Android?
  • Florisboard. It has glide-typing, and I found it to be better than AnySoftKeyboard. Main downside is it doesn't have next-word suggestions yet, but that's planned for the next major release.

  • Have you ever used git bisect?
  • Looks to me as though it's just beehaw users. As far as I'm aware they recently decided to defederate.

  • Sweet. I PMd you Saints Row as the other commenter also asked for Bioshock.

  • Do you have a preference between those two?

  • Thanks very much!

  • Is Windows 11 worth installing over 10?
  • 😲 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

  • Thank you for your generosity!

    I'd love to give Basingstoke or Rise of Industry a go.

    I've probably got some unredeemed Humble keys I can add to your offer.

    Edit: For anyone interested, I can offer keys for the following games. Just reply to my comment and I'll use the same system as OP to choose winners.

    • Bioshock Remastered
    • Dwarfs!?
    • Euro Truck Simulator 2
    • Saints Row: The Third
    • This War of Mine: Final Cut

    Edit 2: Just realised I'm on the other side of the planet from OP, so I'll PM keys hopefully ~6 hours after OP does. That should also give latecomers more time to grab some freebies.

  • Cities: Skylines II Official Gameplay Trailer
  • I wonder how many DLCs Paradox will put out on the release date.

  • Logseq: A privacy-first, open-source platform for knowledge management.
  • Demo link for those who want to check it out.

    I use Joplin but I like the looks of some of the features Logseq had added in the last year or so.
