We can't even talk in this community dedicated to vegans without someone coming along and meatsplaining.
  • Never shamed a vegan, and I was one myself for 5 years. I think people get a negative impression of vegans because vegans so commonly share their reasoning, even zealously or evangelically so, unsolicited.

    It gets annoying. And I felt that so much (in others) while I was a vegan that I stopped explaining why and just said "personal choice" when asked.

    If someone wants the whole story, they'll ask for it. We don't need the morality, the economics, and the all-to-often (admit it) holier-than-thou diatribe vegans are so wont to subject others to.

    As with any diet, moderation is the key.

  • Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps?
  • You're not wrong, it's just about how Proton is built right now. It's still a pretty young ecosystem.

    I will menton that all of their apps (both from GP and F-Droid) work great on my OOTB Galaxy 21 and send all notifications (emails, calendar events, etc.) to my Samsung Gear 3 watch no issues.

  • Proton Calendar to...Android calendar? Via caldav, perhaps?
  • Let's not forget that the point of Proton's services is encryption. The more points you want it to go through (Proton to Cal{SVC} to Android calendar app to watch), the more you have to relinquish that security if they aren't cooperative/companion apps.

    For example, I use Proton on the web (through Tor, actually) because I get the security. If I used the Bridge, I'd be decrypting a layer just so I could use a favored email application.

    Free Dice Roller

    I have created a free tool for players to roll dice, saving the history of all rolls, and requiring no login: simply pass a unique URL back and forth between players as rolls are made.

    What would dinosaur meat taste like?
  • I'll rephrase.

    My first thought was a survival scenario.

    Your first thought was selfish evil.

    Why was that, I wondered?

    My point is that your world view was to interpret it as a negative first. Not a comical musing. Angsty.

  • GPS Tracking (Android) App

    I'm looking for recommendations for an Android app to track and report GPS-type data (if such an app exists). Specifically, I'm hoping to be able to extract stops, origin/destination, roads/route traveled, and speed information.

    Two use cases:

    1. Friend does an ad-hoc delivery service where requests are phoned in when they're needed rather than scheduled ahead of time. The ability to see where they started, where they went, and what roads/distance they traveled as they scurry about all day without having to enter it all manually into a map program later on would be invaluable to calculating expenses.
    2. Same friend was pulled over, while I was also in the vehicle, for speeding but was definitely not exceeding the speed limit. I would've loved to be able to pull up some GPS data that said what speed we were going at the time on the road in question.

    Saved photo directory

    Is there a way to specify where photos are saved? I don't see an option in the settings menu and it seems to be defaulted to (Android) Internal/Pictures/

    Play GB games

    So I have these old, original Game Boy (like, the grey one with the maroon buttons) games I wanna play again (original Pokemon Blue). What can I get to do so?

    I bought a GB on eBay but the screen was barely visible. I'm comfortable partially building/programming something myself, and would also be fine with an adapter or some such that allows me to play the cartridge or copy its contents so I can play on my laptop or Raspberry Pi or whatever.

    Suggestions sought!

    The God of Tits and Wine

    Inspired by this post about Jack Black being Dionysus, my train of thought barreled down a list of ideas for role replacements that I call my "I'd totally watch that" list of actor swaps. I submit to you the following growing list:

    • Tyrion - Jack Black
    • Jon Snow - Keanu Reeves
    • Varris - John Malkovich
    • Littlefinger - Clark Gregg
    • Danaeris - Margot Robbie
    • Tywin - Ron Perlman
    • The Hound - Dave Bautista
    • Cersei - Lucy Lawless
    • Jamie - Chris Hemsworth
    • Jorah - Daniel Day-Lewis
    • Tormund - Andy Serkis
    • The Mountain - Josh Brolin
    • Bron - Ryan Reynolds
    • Bran - Tom Holland
    • Hodor - Vin Diesel

    What I should do about auditory "hallucinations"

    I'm trying to figure out what's happening to me and I'm not sure where to look.

    For the last several years, whenever I listen to silence-filling noise (white, brown, pink, etc.) I tend to hear additional sounds. It's like having your radio tuned to a MHz that's just off a tiny bit, so you hear static but there's just a slight edge of voices or something that you can't quite make out but is definitely there. Sometimes, instead of voices, it's also patterns in the noise or various pitches.

    It happens in a variety of situations, like Youtube videos, audio tracks from meditation apps and noise generators, and even devices that have no audio input or antenna and are specifically for noise as you'd find in the waiting room of a massage clinic. It even happens when it's a completely benign source like an air fan. And the sounds I hear match the volume of the source.

    Do I have superpowers? A brain tumor? Am I just sensitive to imperfect wave form generation? Am I part-dog? Have I done damage to myself from listening to Metallica way too loud for too many years?

    Where do I start looking into this? Does anyone have any possible explanations for what I'm experiencing that might lead me in the right direction?

    SMS from computer

    Looking for recommendations on how to SMS from a computer, á la Pushbullet or some such. Currently using Google Messages with companion desktop/web app and love the experience, but am on a de-Googling quest and looking for alternatives.

    Prefer FOSS options (love the Fossify stuff, for example) but an willing to pay a slight premium if required. Would like solution to be compatible with any web browser and Windows but Linux (Mint) would work, too.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    Requested Review: AppCrypt by Cisdem
    www.cisdem.com Cisdem AppCrypt: Block Apps and Block Websites

    AppCrypt is the app blocker that can password protect individual apps and websites on your computer. Try it now!

    Cisdem AppCrypt: Block Apps and Block Websites

    Has anyone heard of this AppCrypt by Cisdem? I'm normally wary of things not FOSS and I couldn't find much information about the app or the company.

    I like that I can require authentication (screen unlock) for certain apps on my phone, so I can hand it to my kids and know they aren't opening my work email, etc. I'd like to be able to do that for my desktop as well.

    Feature Request: Calendar Appointment Request

    I'd really like to see the ability to share a link for one of my calendars that allows a user to schedule/request a block on my calendar (which I can then accept or not) based on entire availability or pre-defined appointment slots, similar to Koalendar or Calendly. Google/Microsoft calendar users shouldn't be the only ones to get integrations like these; Proton Calendar is an excellent service and should be included in such lists!

    Is something like this already on the roadmap or being discussed?

    Looking for Live Video Recorder to Cloud

    I am looking for a recording tool/app (preferably for Android) which would allow me to start recording a video and have that video saved to the cloud as I record it. I already have several ways to automatically upload video files to the could once the recording has ended and the file is saved to the device. I want something that will save a video in progress to the cloud as I record it.

    An example use-case would be an activist filming coverage of an event where the device is accidentally destroyed or confiscated by authorities mid-stream/record. The ability to go and find what was recorded before it has to be completed, saved, and then uploaded is extremely valuable to me. The upload to cloud option is, of course, in case access the device can not be restored; I'd like to go find what was captured up until the moment of disruption from any device so long as I have the credentials.

    I avoid mainstream services like YouTube and Facebook but will use them if I must, preferring FOSS, decentralized, privacy respecting, etc. options where possible.

    Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    Finding Time

    My (mid-30s M) wife (mid-30s F) took a job that has rather extreme hours. She also has another time/location commitment as the direct consequence of some of her actions. These combined have left us with, at most, 1 hour each day during which we are both awake and under the same roof.

    As you might imagine, it has put quite the strain (for me at least, she doesn't talk about it) on our quality time, conversation, interaction, romance, and amorous activities, which have become, at best: difficult, forced, unenthusiastic, and incredibly rare. She mostly spends what little time there is playing games on her phone.

    I put myself in her shoes and it becomes marginally understandable: After a long and challenging day, I could see the desire to sit quietly and do an activity with/for myself rather than attend to the needs of yet another person.

    But I've been having a really hard time. I am being stoic and supportive and appreciative of all that she is doing, but, under the surface, I am lonely and miss my wife and long for connection. Should I stay the course or find some way to broach the issue, adding yet another burden to her already laborious time?

    I'd really appreciate hearing from someone who's dealt with/is currently in a similar situation, or anyone who has encouragement or advice, or just anything I could think about while I deal.

    Blocking app access to the internet

    Question for the group on a problem I'm trying to solve: How can I block internet access for some apps on standard, OOTB Android?

    My current set-up is to use Proton VPN with the Android settings "Always-on VPN" and "Block connections without VPN" and then use Proton VPN's Split-tunneling to exclude certain apps from using the VPN. This has the desired effect of blocking certain apps from having access to the internet.

    However, I now find that I need to use certain Apps without the VPN but with internet access. In the past, I'd used something like NetGuard to control which apps have internet access, but, as Android only allows one VPN slot, this would require me to swap out Proton VPN.

    So my problem statement: I'd like to be able to continue to use Proton VPN, exclude some apps from using that VPN but still have access to the internet, and block still other apps from the internet entirely. I'm struggling to find a way to do this.

    Any suggestions are welcome!
