As a weeabo, fine, make fun of us. But I’m tired of people crusading furries and I’m not even one of them.

According to the website (and Wikipedia) it’s supposed to sound more like “How-da” with the “how” sounding like you’re gearing up to spit on someone. And then other-non English speaking countries do pronounce the g very distinctly, but they still relatively follow the vowel pronunciation and sound like “Go-dah” as in “Go dad” (but if dad changed to dah)

Basically Americans are the only ones who say Gouda like “Goo-dah”

In the interest of not being bullied by my friends, I’m gonna continue to say it the American way because I don’t wanna be bullied. My Filipino friends still make fun of how I said “Pancit” incorrectly ONE TIME.

Boy do I have a guy for you!

Anyway, hated the first fight against this bastard

Ugh, yeah. It’s making me have a love-hate relationship with it. “Haha humpback helps seal not die 😊” vs “Ah. Creepos being fat-phobic 🫤”

Tech savvy enough. I do my damnedest to find a YT tutorial or forum post before I throw the towel in and make a help request somewhere. Like I literally will go hours before I finally concede and realize I can’t do something myself, and I act like my honor is forever lost whenever I go to Fedora forums in defeat. There are many out there who won’t even do that at the bare minimum, so you’re doing great. We’re doing great.

Do I run over this liberal, or should I go around?

Huh, maybe it is me using Lawnchair. I am using up-to-date GrapheneOS on a Pixel 8a and have noticed that my navigator buttons will just have a stroke at random times throughout the day, and it is annoying. I use lawnchair so I can apply icon packs. Haven’t tested the base launcher yet.

Okay, this image would be better if it actually showed whatever article it came from, so we could verify the print and date. These could all be books printed in 2016 for all we know. But like I totally believe it.

Edit: I have the grammar of a 3rd grader

If you’re on Android you won’t need a family plan, just get ReVanced and patch YT Music so it’s ad-free and plays in the background.

Huh, I don’t think I remember having audio issues while watching KPOP Demon Hunters with my mom, and usually we both will complain about that kinda stuff when watching anime/YT/playing games. Sorry bout that for y’all.

Actually, I’m kinda sad that my laptop doesn’t get close to maxing my RAM cause I specifically bought another stick to make it 16GB. This was back when I was using Windows but now I’m bloat-free on Fedoora. I need to get into gaming on my laptop instead now lol.

If you’re a little less afraid of stuff breaking, use IronFox, it’s been configured for privacy and security. If you don’t want websites to break as much use Fennec.

Didn’t Vine used to limit it at 7 seconds? Find your inner speedrun.

Love mailbox.org, got the lite plan for €12 per year and works like a charm. Can use the secure mail address or the reg and just paste your public key into to use with Thunderbird.

Ironfox is pretty great for privacy, and tries to not break things, but they do have some configs you really have to dig for and already know about if something breaks.

I had the displeasure of finding out that the loopback and localhost was listed as a blocked domain for extensions, which is why an extension of mine couldn’t connect to an app running on my phone. It was hard to find help for my issue, and I had to get lucky to find a solution for it (literally one person has my issue). Honesty, this extension gets broken every few months due to IronFox configs, due to JavaScript, WASM, SCP, or now this… I almost gave up on IronFox and went to Fennec 😅

Okay, just curious, does anyone else have a bug preventing them from using Openkeychain? Whenever I try to confirm a key, it simply gets stuck at the “My Key:” selection drop-down. There’s a 8 year old GitHub issue that was started and it never got solved…

And like, there’s no alternatives for this app are there? It seems Thunderbird defaults to them.

EDIT: I’ve been trying to create a keypair from Open keychain and simply export the pair to my laptop to use it there but any key it generates is unable to be imported by both gpg and Thunderbird. It seems I’m not the only one having this issue, meanwhile the project seems to be no longer maintained. What do I do? Give up on using Thunderbird on mobile?

I’m curious, I’ve never had the chance to really use Signal much, and I’ve never used an XMPP client before. What made you dislike Signal and use XMPP instead? I wish I could convince my iMessage loving mom to jump to anything else.

I advise you to post any recommendations to the original post, I was just sharing it here so others can find it! I also wanna see those recs myself so that’s the motive for posting this 😅

FMD (FindMyDevice) - An absolute necessity, especially if you aren’t using Google services.

It allows you to use any device/contact you’ve approved to send commands to enable/disable various settings on your devices, like bluetooth, do not disturb, camera, GPS, etc. via SMS, a FMD server (self-host optional) or from notifications (i.e. use Signal to send commands). So if you’ve simply lost your phone in your house you could make it ring no matter what, or if it got stolen you could lock it, use GPS, or factory reset it entirely.

The dev made it after he lost a phone that didn’t have Find My Device activated.

Of the minor but noticable changes:

• Bottom icons and text are bigger for some reason on Apple mode. Maybe more readable?
• Share icon is the “network dots” on Android, but the weird “up-arrow page” icon on Apple. Honestly I’ve never liked that Apple icon, hated Safari cause that icon doesn’t scream “share” to me.

Biggest issue for me? Why the hell does Android mode throw a grey bar at the top unlike the all pitch-black that Apple mode has. It looks clean and smooth on that mode and jarring and ugly on Android mode 😮‍💨

Edit: So I figured it out, if you have “pure black dark” mode enabled, it will apply that to the bars on Apple mode, but not Android mode. Top bar also doesn’t follow the app color scheme, it’s white no matter what, unlike the blue in Apple mode.
