Considering you seem to dislike the whole concept of Bots, isn't the Bot toggle in the Lemmy profile exactly what you want?

It auto ignores all posts and comments made by accounts marked as Bots. Sure, the owner of the account has to correctly mark it, but I feel that can easily be solved by reporting unmarked bots.

But I'm interested, if you would like to expand on it, how would you make a bot opt-in?
The only way I could think of is through PMs, but that would be cumbersome, and generally unfit for purpose, for all the involved parties.

Psychologists in shambles

Actually Obtainium is mentioned (but thank you, checking back I saw I had a typo in the github link that I had missed, and I've now fixed it!), but this is the first time I hear about Accrescent: is it this App store?

[โ€“] Mechanize@feddit.it 51 points 1 week ago

You are right, and I forgot to add the link to it in the opening post. I'll edit it in!

 

Last night Organic Maps was removed from the Play Store without any warnings or additional details due to "not meeting the requirements for the Family Program". Compared to Google Maps and other maps apps rated for 3+ age, there are no ads or in-app purchases in Organic Maps. We have asked for an appeal.

As a temporary workaround for the Google Play issue, you can install the new upcoming Google Play update from this link: https://cdn.organicmaps.app/apk/OrganicMaps-24081605-GooglePlay.apk

The Announcement on various Networks: Fosstodon Post
Twitter Post
Telegram Post

If you don't know what Organic Maps is, it is an alternative to OsmAnd and google maps, more info on the official site (link) and GitHub.

Maybe an error? Honestly this is a weird one. I hope we will learn more in the coming hours.

You can still get it on the other channels, like F-Droid or Obtainium. Still, we all know that not being on the Play Store is an heavy sentence for any Android app.

EDITs

  • Added F-Droid link.
  • Fixed Typo in the obtainium link.

While she has not been named in the police statement about the arrest, it is believed to be Bonnie Spofforth

This, I don't like. If you - the newspaper, the means of information - are not sure about a name you should really refrain from using it.

It would be not the first time people get their lives ruined by some careless journalist because of a namesake or just an error.

It's not that different from "spreading rumors".

That aside, in this case, it is probably a rumor from an inside source. Still. Not a fan.

I think comet is more about multiplayer in games that use the Galaxy API than achievements

The gog cloud save support I think was already in the Heroic Game Launcher for about a couple of years, I think I have my Cyberpunk 2077 saves on there, but honestly I'm not sure

The Heroic Games Launcher is (IMHO) by far the best interface to gog you can have on linux.

You can find it on the AUR if you use arch, which makes it pretty straightforward to install.

The next version will integrate with the Galaxy API using the comet project, which should make it even better.

The only problem I had with it is that, once upon a time, there was a bug with downloading some games (Cyberpunk 2077, in my case) and I had to compile the git version of Gog-dl and target that in the settings.. but the fact I could even do that is great by itself.

Red Alert 2 Chronosphere

The Chronosphere was a mass teleportation device developed by the Allies during the Second World War. An improved version was used to decisively end the Third World War and was used further until the end of the Psychic Dominator Disaster. Albert Einstein was a notable contributor to the Chronosphere's design.

Good times.

Nitro is just a marketing term for their high end models, they usually have the Pulse which is the base and the Nitro(+) that has additional features like removable fans.

They cost more but they tend to have a better build quality, but the chip inside is the same.

AMD. Sapphire. Nitro.

Without a doubt, the second one. White tie and handkerchief.

Congratulations!
