Crop it? Sooo then you're just back to horizontal but at a significantly degraded resolution...

Probably could have chosen different terminology but "grows" doesn't necessarily mean more people became gay, it could just mean that more people openly identified that way.

That's fine but then he comes off as "taking the low road" instead of you.

I could do that any time of the year

I really don't think you could. This is a time of year that the entire country recognizes as "holiday season", so there's a good chance your entire family can take off of work and all be together at that time of year.

I mean yes I agree but it's a shoddy workaround for a manufactured problem.

If you try googling any of this, you will find a shit ton of christian cope

"Cope" is basically the foundation of most religions.

Mostly because 90% of what's in The Bible is gobblederemoved, twisted and contorted by a wide variety of opportunistic con men over the course of thousands of years, written in such a vague way as to easily be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Similar to the way Trump speaks in vague generalities and word salad, and people hear whatever they want to hear, which of course leads to massive problems when you're the leader or aspiring leader of the free world.

We'll see when it comes closer to that time. Historically I have voted for whoever I liked or just not voted at all. Maybe 50/50.

Today's internet is very different and has things actually designed for vertical videos so complaining about it makes no sense anymore.

It absolutely makes sense. You can design whatever you want for vertical videos but it makes no difference if the actual content isn't designed for it.

How many times have you seen videos with multiple people falling out of frame while simultaneously half the frame consists of ground and sky? Then the camera operator viciously whips back and forth to try to capture everything, creating a jarring fuckin video? How many times do you see TikTokkers trying to contort their bodies so you can actually see what's going on in the image behind them? What difference does the size of resolution of the image make when half of it is consumed by nothing important?

Ehhhhh no that's obviously wrong.

Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.

The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.

 

This is another wonderful piece of software from FOSS advocate FUTO.

Aside from another method to bypass YT ads, you can watch your favorite creators on a wide variety of platforms, all in a single app. No complicated configuration required like ReVanced. You can export your subscriptions list from Google via Google Takeout, or from FreeTube/LibreTube/New pipe etc. and when you open the file it should automatically open in GrayJay.

You can also perform cross-platform searches.

PeerTube does work but it uses the FUTO instance, which does not federate, so you can only watch/search FUTO videos. Some work is still needed in that area, but it's probably also the least popular platform sooo...

This is a paid app based on the honor system and currently only supports Stripe for payments. It's a 1-time $10 fee.

Futo also makes a casting app called FCast so you can cast videos from this app to your Android TV box after installation.

 

Tried to use OSMAnd last week to navigate around on vacation. For some reason it seems to be incapable of searching for house numbers, which is an instant dealbreaker. I'm very confused as to how or why this is a thing on such a mature product.

I was able to share a location from GMaps WV over to it to get navigation working, and from there the navigation was awesome!

Currently also testing Magic Earth and Organic Maps but I'm very interested to hear from those with more experience.

 

I realize that Mastodon is specifically intended not to have any sort of algorithm, and I understand and appreciate that, but it's not what I want, personally. I want to have the posts in my feed sorted by the ones with the most "engagement" as those are likely the most interesting ones.

P2P network with no servers. Added "communities" with Facebook-like posts (my preference). Looks cool but it's missing a lot of details and it seems like there's almost no one using it at the moment, despite feeling very polished.

 
 

Been wanting to leave the platform for a long time. The Fediverse in it's many shapes and forms has rid me of that desire.

Be sure and check out wefwef.app for a usable mobile PWA for Lemmy!
