It’s also available as a flash animation on their site. It still runs on because of the flash emulator ruffle.

It’s Going Down / The Beautiful Idea is a good one that hasn’t been mentioned.

I’d be interested. I’ve checked out parts of it over the years but haven’t looked at most of it.

I’d be willing to give it a try. They can be frustrating at times, but to me it’s not really worse than with liberal instances. I’d understand if the community here doesn’t want to put up with them though.

I haven’t checked it out in a couple years, but I remember there being several decent communities over there. But their more authoritarian communities are pretty shitty.

Found some osm peertube channels:

I love how anteaters and sloths used to be lumped together with primates in the 1740s.

I really don’t like the idea of citing this study. It’s always this same one from the 90s, and if it were acurate I expect the results would have been reproduced more. It’s also not clear that the results indicate what the paper says. There’s other reasons than sexual arousal that could explain the results. It could be they’re imagining the scenario and are axious or disgusted by it. There’s this paper that indicates homophobia is usually caused by fear or hate.

I don’t like the idea of putting the blame for homophobia on closeted queer people. It’s seems extremely likely to me that most homophobic people are straight, since most people are straight. Also we should respect other people’s own identification instead of trying to force labels on people, even if they’re bigots.

It doesn’t have traffic data, which is probably the biggest disadvantage. The maps are user contributed, so the quality varies widely. Depending on where you are, it’ll be ridiculously detailed with individual bushes in a park, or it’s incorrect or outdated and you can’t find your destination. I usually use this or OSMand, but I still keep google maps on another profile as a backup.

I don’t have a good enough grasp on the topic to fully vouch for the site, but I’ve found pluralpedia.org really useful and interesting.

I think he’s literally talking about investing in fediverse companies, which I guess isn’t really any better.

At least in the case I remember it wasn’t a bot network. They would just put them on popular playlists so it’d end up with tons of listens. They were basically fake bands created as a way to get around paying licensing fees. If there’s no real band there’s no royalties to pay.

I haven’t used it but there’s ProxiTok.

For android I tend to like Safe Notes. It’s relatively simple, encrypted with either passphrase or biometrics, and stored locally, with a way to back up to a file. Just make sure you memorize/save the passphrase so you don’t lose your entries. It’s android only though, if that matters. I only use it for shorter stuff, so I’m not sure how well it works for longer entries.

I haven’t used Chameleon, but it seems to do some stuff like change the user agent that JShelter doesn’t do. I’d assume it’s more useful to get around a site designed for a specific browser or operating system.

JShelter isn’t mainly for spoofing, it’s about blocking a bunch of potentially harmful advanced javascript features, often used for tracking. Any spoofing is mostly to keep sites working with the missing javascript features.

I have it installed on one of my browsers. I wouldn’t recommend using it unless you’re willing to tweak the settings for new sites you visit, because I’ve had it break sites pretty often with the default settings.

That’s at a very different level. With dot social it’s about a quarter of the active users on the fediverse, whereas bluesky is probably something like 95% centralized in practice. It seems to keep improving, but right now it’s basically impossible to use without mostly interacting with bsky.

I started watching a playlist on how to design a puppet from scratch. I find puppets facinating but never looked into how they’re built.

It looks like there’s !bonecollecting@lemmy.world that you could try.

There’s been people trying to push ⁂ as a way to represent the fediverse using a unicode symbol. I’m not sure it’s really taken off, but it’s an option.

If you go to the repository settings there’s an option to enable archived apps and outdated versions. Then select the f-droid archive repo for that app.

Often these are disabled for a reason, so you might want to check if there’s any important bug fixes since then.
