And then “Dragula” by Rob Zombie after that, right?

Everytime I hear this I feel like I’m back in a rock club in 2004

“Yes”

Ah I’ve teared up again remembering how I felt when I heard the news 10 years ago.

I remind myself regularly not to idolize people, but I feel Terry was such a force for good in the world. While I never knew him personally, I miss him.

GNU Sir Terry.

In this case, there is a trade-off between privacy and security. Using Google Play store is the most secure choice: Google is fairly strict about minimum API requirements for apps on its store, and it takes security seriously. They just don’t take privacy seriously.

Personally, I’ve opted for using Play store for most apps unless they aren’t available there or have some ridiculous subscription pricing, in which case I’ll use Obtainium. My rationalisation is that I’m more worried about poor security exposing my personal & private data than I am about Google’s invasion of my privacy when I use some of their services. It’s a managed risk that I’ve decided works for me, but you may have a different risk profile.

Edit: oh I forgot to mention Accrescent. I have some apps installed from there and regularly check it for updates/new apps. GrapheneOS encourages using them as a store too.

I am so excited for this release! That persistent ID work really helps me out.

Nice! got any more molecule tattoos planned?

IIRC Dark Reader is discouraged in general from a privacy perspective due to it making you appear more unique. If you’re using LibreWolf primarily to improve your browsing privacy, it’s worth considering whether you still need Dark Reader.

However I don’t believe there are any negative security implications with installing it from a.m.o and using it in LibreWolf. Just remember that for each extension you install, you have to extend the level of trust you grant your browser to cover each extension developer too.

Thank you for the advice: I’ll try adapting it to a wheat starter. I’ve got lots of the rye starter to play with so I might try a few variations: create a levain with the rye starter (like the other commenter suggested) and adapt another portion.

Thank you for the advice!

That’s a fair point.

I’m still going to celebrate the gays.

If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that putting emphasis on the “Gay” description is reductive?

I don’t necessarily disagree, but headlines need to be short, capture attention and accurately summarize the content of the article. I think this headline succeeds in all these aspects.

Also it’s worth noting that this cruise was chartered by a company that advertises itself as specialising in gay & LGBTQ+ holiday packages. I doubt anyone taking part in this cruise would object to it being described as gay.

To me headline highlights the intersectionality and solidarity shown when of one group of historically oppressed people (refugees) is rescued by another historically oppressed group (gay people).

The fact that the rescuers were from a gay cruise doesn’t make their actions inherently more special than if they were from any other kind of cruise, but there’s an importance in having positive media portrayal for LGBTQIA+ folks when the current political climate in many countries is turning more towards intolerance and oppression of queer people again.

Would you say it’s your greatest egret?

Why would the fact that it’s gay put a bad light on it?

Hah someone on the post I cross-posted this from said the same thing 😂

Does this mean there might be a possibility of an Excession adaptation if all goes well? 🥹

I’m not sure how you’d go about adapting that, but I love that book so much.

Considering this is a GrapheneOS community I’m assuming OP intends to replace the default OS with that.

Isn’t this is exactly the outcome Trump and Musk want though 😕

If these departments can no longer function because there aren’t any capable employees it gives Trump’s administration the excuse to replace those institutions with new ones that are directly accountable to him.

It’s admirable that the people who have resigned did so because they don’t want any part in what’s happening, but I don’t think it counts as uplifting news 😢
