King of the Hill. I love the characters so much, especially the dynamic between Hank and Bobby.


I think you’re overestimating the tech savvyness of the average person :P


Paragraph 4.5 of Google Play’s Developer Distribution Agreement is a rather large barrier. I’ll paste it here:

4.5 You may not use Google Play to distribute or make available any Product that has a purpose that facilitates the distribution of software applications and games for use on Android devices outside of Google Play.

I’d wager the majority of Android users have never downloaded an application other than from the Google Play Store. Even among those who would try, a large amount of them would probably get scared off by the “unverified sources” popup Android gives you if you try to install an app in another manner.



I don’t know about you, but whenever I’ve had schedules where I didn’t get two sequential days off in a week I’d tire out waay fast.

In your situation, I’d probably pick Sunday+Monday as my weekend. You get the extra for working on Sunday, and you get to avoid the stressed people on Mondays. It is nice to have one conventional weekend day off, the other commenters aren’t lying when they say working weekends limits social opportunities.



This person pops up every time someone on Lemmy mentions web browsers to aggressively deride Mozilla for being mostly funded by Google (which is a fair point that I agree with) and then they turn around and recommend Chromium-based browsers.

I’ve tried and I found it difficult to engage in good-faith conversation with them.


Honestly, you might just have to wait until she’s done with puberty. This just sounds like a typical teenager whose brain is addled with hormones. It’ll die down with time.


The app you’re thinking of is StreetComplete!

Which reminds me, I should really download it and start contributing to OSM.


On desktop I really like FreeTube, if you’re interested in an alternative. I don’t usually want apps for things that should be websites, but I use YouTube enough (and Google invests so much energy in making youtube.com a miserable experience) that it justifies having a dedicated app for it, in my case.


I smoke weed every day. Casual marijuana consumption is definitely socially acceptable here (I’m in Canada where it’s legal) but I’ve been high more often than not for the past 8 years or so.


Related: I love their YouTube channel where they solve ridiculous puzzles


I’ve been hooked on Sudoku on my phone recently. LibreSudoku is a good Android app.


after a quick look into it, the main problem is tax in a lot of places is based on the Total amount sold, not on each item.

I’m actually confused, aren’t taxes a percentage? The sum of a percentage of all items should be the same as a percentage of the sum, no? Or is my brain not do math good? Can someone smarter than me explain?


This exchange made me realize how gender the tea party scene from Toy Story is. Buzz is a high masc, high femme bi-gender icon.



No Heelies at the hockey rink for me. Last I checked, they still had the printed-out Word document in Times New Roman posted up on the bulletin board.


  • Eat vegan, the more local and the less processed the better.

  • Opt for cycling, walking, or public transit rather than owning and driving a car.

  • Shop secondhand (thrift stores, FB Marketplace, Kijiji, yard sales) whenever possible, especially clothing and electronics.

  • Re-examine your consumption habits, we probably don’t need (nor really even want) like half the stuff we buy.


I think they’re asking “If you use one only for specific circumstances, what are those circumstances?”


I know a guy who has Elmer Fudd next to his asshole with a speech bubble which reads “Come on out you wascally wabbit!”


I use EndeavourOS. I like pacman and AUR, as well as the fact that Arch-based distros are well-supported by most software. I’m too much of a noob/too lazy to setup an OS without a GUI installer though, which is why I prefer Endeavour over Arch.

Homeless advocate calls for $1B-investment in public housing
::: spoiler Traduction en français (DeepL) Les groupes de logement des Maritimes demandent un projet de logement public d'un milliard de dollars et une stratégie nationale pour aider les personnes vivant dans la rue. Cheryl Forchuck, chercheuse au Homeless Hub, a voyagé dans chaque province et territoire du Canada pour tenter de trouver des solutions à l'itinérance et a partagé ce qu'elle a appris lors d'un forum organisé jeudi au Cap-Breton. "Le Canada est le seul pays industrialisé au monde qui n'a pas de responsabilité en matière de logement et d'itinérance au niveau national", a déclaré Mme Forchuk. Selon elle, le nombre de sans-abri a augmenté dans tout le pays. "Nous assistons à la prolifération des campements, des personnes vivant à l'extérieur parce que le système n'a pas la capacité nécessaire. Bien que le problème des sans-abri soit généralement traité au niveau local, M. Forchuk estime qu'il s'agit d'une crise nationale et qu'elle doit être abordée en tant que telle. "J'aimerais qu'une stratégie nationale sur le sans-abrisme soit pleinement mise en œuvre", a déclaré M. Forchuk. Jeudi également, le Carrefour du logement du Nouveau-Brunswick a demandé à la province de financer la construction de 10 000 nouveaux logements sociaux. "Au Nouveau-Brunswick, nous demandons au gouvernement provincial d'aider à soutenir le secteur du logement communautaire en investissant 1 milliard de dollars au cours des cinq prochaines années", a déclaré Mylene Vincent, de Housing Hub of New Brunswick. Selon Mme Vincent, le marché locatif de la province a perdu environ 9 000 logements dont les loyers sont inférieurs à 750 $ depuis 2016 "Nous ne trouverons pas de solutions tant que nous ne considérerons pas nos populations sans-abri comme faisant partie de notre communauté, comme nos voisins, comme des personnes." ___ :::

New Brunswick premier open to leadership test, remains vague on early election call
My favourite part of the article: > Asked what the odds were of the province heading into an early election, Higgs told reporters, "I don't play the odds, actually. I don't. So, I'm not going to delve into an election philosophy." "I don't play the odds" gives me big "data my ass" vibes. I hope we data his ass out of office ASAP.
