Having 0 or negative karma is a barrier to posting. Some subs completely disallow posting if you don't meet a threshold, but even outside of those subs you still run into things like having your comments held up in the spam queue until they are manually reviewed.

So having a bit of karma allows them to post their scam and/or spam links and have a chance of being visible.

I use Unexpected Keyboard when I'm working in Termux. It's Open Source and does allow some layout customization.

Unfortunately it doesn't support "glide/swipe typing" so I find it doesn't replace Gboard for everyday usage.

They are my backup. The one I go to first is (NX Brew .com) with no spaces. They're very similar, though.

Use of uBlock Origin (or comparable) should be considered mandatory!

I also strongly recommend Fast Forward (a successor to Universal Bypass), since they both use ad-based URL obfuscators.

Unfortunately they've been removed from both Chrome & Firefox's official add-ons, but their guide has manual install instructions for many browsers.

I'm a fan of the very light, widget-only AF Weather. All it does is a chart showing temp & precipitation for the next 24hrs. I like it more than "hourly" forecasts in other apps, but it is pretty niche.

Off topic, sorry, but I'm curious: Did a bоt copy your comment? Or is this some sort of Federation-related-weirdness?

This gif has always bothered me somehow. I think the transition is too 'good' and it makes it feel uncanny... Something like that. I'm sure the quality doesn't help.

Anyway, what's happening in 3 days?

Is Toolbox related to RES?

I know RES is mostly u/honestbleeps, I don't actually know who all is behind Toolbox.

I assumed OP would be willing to say it it was "just" that. This being the Internet and all, people admit to way weirder stuff all the time.

When I was a Boy Scout, we often had kids who would refuse to go. It was a whole thing that we had to check on. (Along with asking everyone how yellow their pee was.)

I remember one guy was in tears on the hike out, and it turned out that he had faked out the scoutmaster by taking a walk with the TP and shovel, but not actually gone. Poor kid was barely able to walk, but kept insisting he couldn't void either.

I only learned later how serious it can get if prolonged.

I'm worse: Whichever Doctor I watched most recently is likely to be my current favorite, if asked.

I love all the Nu-Who Doctors for different reasons. The fact that there are so many takes on the same character is just fun.
