#FDroid, home to thousands of free and #opensource Android apps, calls Google's developer verification an "existential threat." An estimated 85% of F-Droid apps could face distribution issues because their developers signed through F-Droid, not through Google. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org #argh #google #android #evil #grapheneos
Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

@infobeautiful OK this is a problem. However pretty this map is, it is fundamentally wrong.
Pangea, the megacontinent that started to break apart towards the end of the Palaeozoic (ending ~250Ma) did NOT look like that. South America was docked against West Africa, India was docked near Madagascar...
I could go on but please, stop propagating misinformation. Maps of Pangea are a dime a dozen.

That moment when you realise that the bottom bracket you bought for your replacement group set is the wrong width. After installing it. And there are half a dozen alternatives spanning about 8 mm difference…. # cycling #argh #argh #ARGH

#argh last night I went to bed thinking I was going to have food in the crockpot to eat when I wake up. #today I found out I forgot to plug the machine in, so the roast is likely not safe to eat. Unfortunately not enough money to buy anything more till Monday :(

From the article:

> Visitors to Regina’s downtown will no longer have the option of digging for change
> to plug the parking meter.
>
> The City of Regina is shifting to digital-only parking payment as of next week,
> effective Sunday March 1.
>
> Downtown meters will no longer accept coins to pay for on-street parking.
> Instead, residents must pay electronically using the PayByPhone smartphone
> app, online at PayByPhone.com or by calling 1-888-680-7275.

"Use this smartphone app" --> requires a smartphone
"Use this website" --> requires a smartphone
"Or call this phone number" --> requires a phone

I do not own a smartphone / cell phone / mobile phone. How the hell am I supposed to pay for downtown parking, which I have to half a dozen times per month?

"Just get a cell phone" is NOT an acceptable response, FWIW.
