remember when websites were written on purpose, and not generated by autocomplete in the instant you run the web search? anyway, unrelated, this webpage purporting to relay expert knowledge on which plants are safe for my snake's tank just told me I would know if he was biting them and getting irritated because he would start pawing at his mouth.

This is... a peer reviewed publication. From the University of Copenhagen.

Professionals are calling these things the Demons Ducks of Doom, which is fair because the other options are "Bullockornis" or "bull bird." What terribly boring words for such an interesting creature.

I like the idea of a Vulcan character who constantly does very reckless things so her human crewmates think she's strange but then she always has a logical explanation she delivers with absolute confidence.

"No, it was perfectly logical for me to jump out of the shuttle at that time. I had a breathing apparatus, and I was certain I could seal the subspace rift by hand before the Romulans opened fire. This was the only solution that would result in zero casualties. I might have died, but giving up is illogical."

She's known as one of the most fearless members of the crew.

Other Vulcans try not to acknowledge her.

An absolute menace.

Mermaid Evolution

Mermaids are completely unrelated to humans, rather they are fish with adaptions in mimicry. The ancestor was a large, ancient fish that preyed on wayward sailors with disorienting shrieks.

As time went on, they rearranged their bodies and minds to more closely resemble humans. Their gills detached from their skull and created a resonating cavity that turned their shrieks to song. Their fins changed to resemble appendages, including splitting the base in two and creating a pouch that could be filled with water, resembling a human chest when displaying.

Be careful when sailing, and when you hear a song that sounds too beautiful for human lungs, it is. Alter your course, and pray it doesn’t follow.

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

Male writers writing female characters:

“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”

‘ She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards’ is the greatest fucking sentence I have ever read.

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.

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.

this is more basic and everybody who cares about anyapk probably knows this but it is of utmost importance to disable google play services

this will break many things that rely on it like the app store and maps and translate so you'll have to look for third party services for that. you can replace google play store with aurora store but i also recommend installing fdroid, a moderately big repository of free/libre apps. from fdroid you can replace youtube with newpipe or tubular (i prefer the latter; it's newpipe + sponsorblock), replace maps with openstreetmap, replace image gallery with basically anything, translate with idk deepl (dissatisfying i know). might have to replace your dialer (the app you use to make phone calls) and the messaging app as well. there's a lot of those and i can't tell you which one to use although for the latter i like textra from the play store.

embedded maps in apps and i believe gps (global positioning system not google play services) in general won't work unless you replace play services with microg, which is the play services substitute that most people are putting their effort into. microg is not perfect but it's usable.
