Pick a project you like and donate what you think is fair. The fact that you are donating at all is great man.

I donated $50 to the Dev of the Automation app on fdroid. My car automatically tries to play any media that I had playing before it connected to the car. No way to turn it off, happens on any and every phone ive used. Finally I found this app and made an automation that pauses media after a few milliseconds once the bluetooth connects.

I felt a $50 one time donation was worth it cause they helped me solve one of the most annoying things i deal with. No idea why someone thought that a “feature” shouldn’t have a fucking off button but here we are.

We dont even need them behind bars, give them fines that actually hurt. Talking several billions of dollars.

They likely wouldn’t do that either though but ffs I’d love it if they did something

Drop shipping has become a really big thing online. I just watched a video about people creating fake sad stories to push “handmade products”. All cheap mass manufactured shit from China.

Hard to find legit businesses right off the rip since it seems everyone is trying to scam these days.

This was my first thought. Twilight princess is my all time favorite Zelda game to this day. And seeing Dusk was so cool. I may have to give that a go.

Super cute. Love his face

Not to mention there are plenty of mods that you can add to make it more tuned to how you want it.

Me and my girl are watching a bunch of different TV shows. Basically showing each other our favorites. While we were watching Dexter, it got removed from whatever platform it was on and moved to another one which meant we had to buy another service just to finish it.

After that, and seeing all of the price hikes, I realized I’d rather do a one time payment for any shows I watch especially because at the current pricing, DVDs are cheaper overall. That and streaming services are trying to add value to themselves by doing original TV. Most of it is garbage that I’ll never watch, so there isnt much value in streaming for me anymore.

That sounds like a really cool setup for gaming. What games di you and your friends play mostly? My htpc is just a little used HP office PC. Far from cutting edge but great for my use case. I used to use a keyboard and mouse for navigation but I didn’t like it. I settled on using an air mouse and keyboard combo. Its not perfect but it gets the job done.

I barely couch game but when I do, I use a controller.

Mostly my Linux htpc is used for streaming but not doing a ton of that anymore. I started buying DVDs again.

But nice to have the option for the two streaming services I do use or YouTube.

Was gonna say, as a greasy American, I hate a lot of us too lol.

I personally use cloudflare. Never had an issue with them.

Oh my god so cute. We love an orange boy.

Well im sold. Hes getting a heating pad.

He’s my little guy.

What a great advertisement for almost any other launcher.

Lawnchair is my go to if anyone wants a pretty simple and customizable launcher that respects your privacy.

I’m with you there. Plumbing I would avoid. I could do it, but like you said, flooding or just water damage in general makes me think twice. Gas I would be more ok with but even then I’d be wary of it.

Exactly. I’d recommend everyone try and fix things themselves at least sometimes. I try and fix small things I don’t want to have to buy again if I can.

Sometimes it makes sense to pay someone, but its a good skill to have.

If you like working with your hands, look into education for the trades. People that do trade jobs are only getting more and more rare these days so theres a good chance you can get a job that way and it pays waaay better than retail in a lot of cases.

Also like others said, knowing someone is also ideal.

I’m making chilli right now and put black beans in it. I like black beans in my chilli.

Please anyone feel free to correct me if I get anything wrong.

From my understanding, Apps dont change based on the profile they are installed in. They are the same exact app regardless of profile. Profiles just serve to separate apps for different users and further separate apps from each other with them being in thier own directories.

Not all apps that you install from the Google playstore require google play services. Some apps will run just fine without them if the developer decided not to use them during development. If they did decide to use googleplay services, the app may function OK or completely break. Just depends on the app in question.

As far as I am aware, updates will happen separately for profiles. Most apps that are installed via googleplay will install automatically. Same goes for fdroid apps in most cases unless specified otherwise.

I’m not sure what you mean by your last question, fail how? Fail to open or update?

Also, profiles aren’t really necessary for grapheneos to separate google play services from other apps or whatnot because they are already sandboxed. I dont use them myself for this reason.

I personally don’t consider my skills quite good enough to be compensated for if I’m honest. And I like helping people here on Lemmy, especially for a opensource project. I can’t contribute as much but I do what I can.

So yea shoot me a DM and we can see what works.
