So today got cursed...

Image ID: A Google docs file open in edit mode with an old inky typewriter font called "Special Elite" selected. In this font there is a paragraph reading: "This is the best font in Google Docs and any attempts to convince me otherwise will be met with me hiring a hacker to hack into all your accounts to make it so that whatever you do, it will not change the fact that all your writing and reading will be done in Comic Sans. You will be sending emails in Comic Sans. Your essays will be in Comic Sans. Your favourite ebooks will have to be read in Comic Sans. Your dead relative's funeral cards which you were put in charge of will all be in Comic Sans."

Reblogging a relic of my mildly unhinged posts from the pandemic era.

i can't believe there's really people on this website saying that women shouldn't be allowed to genetically engineer a mutant race of giant crab-human hybrids. this is literally feminism 101 people. y'all have GOT to get more woke

[elephantmoss]

That moment when you play board games with the homies but you are a board game fiend and accidentally win every game without trying because "I warn you, I can explain this game to you yes, but this also means I'm good at it". And you can't take pity on them because they don't want it (you've asked) but also you don't want them to get tired of losing.

A conundrum for sure.

Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year

Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.

This is just another form of censorship, control of what we can/can't see and engage with, and another means of getting our private information.

Alternative forks of AOSP (Android Open-Source Project) which are not maintained by Google and will not be affected by this:

LineageOS (I use this one)

Graphene OS

Functionally they are virtually identical to stock Android. Android began as an open-source project, and these versions are built off of that.

Fuck Google.

[mordcore]

[amiibo-king]

for those like me who cannot install alternative android forks on their phone because the phone in question is thoroughly unrootable, I would recommend downloading anyapk on your phone while you still can. In their own words:

anyapk is a lightweight Android application installer that bypasses Google's developer verification requirements by using local ADB (Android Debug Bridge) connections. Smoothly install any APK file on your device without restrictions, gatekeepers, or corporate approval.

If you're reading this after Google's lockdown date and are unable to install anyapk the regular way, there is a method outlined on the github linked above which tells you how to install anyapk on your phone by plugging it into a computer with ADB installed on it. Once you have anyapk on your phone, you will not have to do that ever again (unless you delete anyapk off your phone)

a tweet by @/Pirat_Nation:

From September 2026, all apps, including those outside the Play Store, must come from verified developers.

No more anonymous sideloads. No quick comebacks for malware gangs.

First: Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand.

[Description for the second image: a post from jrepin that reads:

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware.

Come back. Even as a shadow, even as a dream.

[elephantmoss]

Yeah so this is probably something some people who lose people wish for. But like personally, I am getting tired of seeing the people I've lost in dreams as alive as ever, and then I wake-up and still think they're alive for like ten minutes until I realize they're dead all over again. Coming back in a dream is not what they advertise on the label. Because the dream feels so real. And then when you're gone again I feel less real. Sometimes I wonder if I could forget you. Like if I had the opportunity to do so would I take it? Some days I'm tempted. Other days I'm fighting to remember the way your voice sounded or the way you looked at me when we were being idiots together. But I'll never be able to forget you and that's what hurts sometimes. Realizing that I get to hold all the pain and memories and there's nobody to take the other side anymore. Did you consider that all the good memories I have of you are now singed with grief (loss, sadness, anger, despair, coldness)? There's not much good left. Talking to them is pointless though because they're not alive and they'll never answer me. They're like the myth of the christian god, supposedly loved people and died for them, but never answers the fucking phone.

may you never go back to the dark places you fought so hard to get out of

[mythologyofblue]

But when you lose someone, you don’t lose them all at once, and their dying doesn’t stop with their death. You lose them a thousand times in a thousand ways. You say a thousand goodbyes. You hold a thousand funerals.
